Today's mission was to use a bicycle as the only form of transport to go to Bukit Panjang. The route was from Redhill to Jurong to Bukit Panjang to Bukit Timah to Holland V and back to Redhill. I shall describe each segment so I can remember this experience whenever I look back at my blog.

Redhill to Jurong - I had went through this route perviously in another trip so the journey was quite smooth except for J.M. injuring his leg for some unknown reasons. I stopped at Jurong East to buy some drinks before proceeding to Bukit Panjang. I didn't recall any mischap or accident so I will go on to the next segment.

Jurong to Bukit Panjang - It was a straight path from Jurong to B.P. so nothing exciting happened. However, upon reaching B.P, my bicycle's tire when flat. Naturally, I was worried because I am far from home with my only form of transportation down. Luckily, there is nothing wrong expect that the tire will soon go flat after a short period of time so I had to stop by every petrol station before continuing the journey. By the way, I ate chicken rice at B.P.

Bukit Panjang to Bukit Timah - This route was diasterious! We challanged our will-power and there are bushes, slopes and uneven walking path. Loy met with a few mischap but nevertheless he strived on to continue the journey. I regret not cycling at the back because I couldn't see anyone fall and some of Loy's falls could be quite dramatic. Stopped at two petrol station to "pump gas" along the journey.

Bukit Timah to Holland V - This segment was a test for our endurance. We had to go through 6th Avenue. Yes! 6th Avenue! The stretch of road which ends with a gentle slope to a much steeper slope. This changed our momentum completely! J.M. ended up pushing the bicycle up the slope and left me and Loy breathing heavily for air at the "summit". This is definately one of the most challanging place to cycle. Stopped at one petrol station again.

Holland V to Redhill - Despite the condition of my bicycle, I manage to cycle it all the way back to Redhill! I went for two additional pump of air for the bicycle's tire and was very relieve to reach Redhill.

I do not even dare to think what will happen to me if I was strained in B.P. with a flat tire. However, despite accidents and mischap, this is one of the most successful and the furthest journey I had to date. My next target? Woodlands! Stay tuned for my next journey... =D
