Cycling trip with Chai Li!


Went out with Chai Li today for a cycling trip! Mannnn, I missed her so much, it feel like ages since I last really talked to her, like really talked, like each talk could last for at least an 1/2 hour and could be longer if we werent working at that moment!
 
Anyway, we delayed the cycling trip for so many times already! like we intended to go before I went Taiwan, but she can't make it, so had to change to initially last week but she couldn't again, then to this week, which was again, almost canceled because of the rain!
 
We planned to meet at 3pm but it rained at 12pm, but heng-fully, the rain stopped at 2pm, and so we went ahead with our plan, though i was pretty lazy by then. :p I was still in bed at 1pm plus reluctant to get out of my bed LOL.
 
so we met at 4pm (I didn't expect the rain to stop auctally..) and took bus 401 from Bedok Interchange and reached East Coast Park. We talked and talked and talked during the bus ride, like nothing else matter. :D missed talking to her so badly! like we talked about every single topic under the sun, and blah blah blah blah LOL, talked so much until I have difficulty talking because of the phlegm in my throat. :|
 
The bikes were $6 for 2 hours, I had no idea how they reach that (but I suspect it has something to do with a promotion which I didn't look at it carefully because I was so engrossed in talking with Chaili).
 
From my understanding, its actually $8 for 3 hours, because their promotion has always been buy one hour get 2 hours free (the last time I checked in 2008, this was the promotion). but $6, maybe it's a new promotion.:|
 
treated Chai Li to cycling because I owed her a birthday gift! Had no idea what to get for her so I thought this gift will be a practical one, better! :D
 
The cycling part was awesome, we cycle next to each other, so during the cycling, we didn't break our conversations at all, like keep bladder-ing on and on and on, about how we missed those days we were in Motorola, the changes Motorola is undergoing (doesn't sound good from Chai Li) and even about dogs, and the mrt incident in Ang Mo Kio. Then we went on and on, to discussing about overseas experience blah blah blah, damn awesome cycling! :)
 






us at Bedok Jetty!
 
 
so we cycled to where I had cycled to and couldn't forget about it... I almost brought Chai Li the wrong way but as we go on, I realised something is very not right, because as we cycled on the path, I recalled that the path we are on isn't correct, there shouldn't be that much of a change, like we shouldn't miss this pretty ulu-garden path which will lead us to a small short traffic light which looks like we are in old Choa Chu Kang rout or something. 
 




if you looked right/left, it looks like old choa chu kang road. like how it feels to be somewhere far from city (althought it wasn't, auctally)
So I asked Chai Li to u-turn and we found the correct path without much difficulties, because I remember the paths which were correct and we picked up from there. :) 
after passing by the pretty ulu path, we reached this place (which is still exactly like what I remembered). 
 
missed this place so damn much, because it's actually the scene from the 2001 national day song "Where I belong" MV which I recognised when my cousin brought my sister and I to this trip in 2008. (cycling trip 2008)
 
I still remembered somewhere over here in 2008, Shi Yun called me halfway and my cousin commented "wah your friend super loud" ha ha ha ha! and I enjoyed that day so much too! so much I've been yearning to try cycling again back to the same old place but didn't, until today! :)

airplanes taking and landing off! (wait, just taking off! because taking off and landing at a same place.. is craziness, and we see take offs only!)

Photobucket

this time round when I looked at this scene, I don't have the feeling like "argh, I wish I can be onboard" blah blah blah though I did say it loud. probably because I've just returned, and the airlines which i saw taking off were.. SIA, tiger airways (super lots of time -.-), Cathy Pacific and what turkish airline. and out of the above few, I just had my tried at SIA, Cathy Pacific and tiger airway.. it's good not to miss it. :D

we spent a quality of time there looking at the planes and although I wished we could continue to advance even further to Changi Beach (which is possible if not for the time) we head back to return our bikes, and we were charged because we were overtime for close to an hour LOL.
 
Chai Li fell down at the drain when we were walking back to the bus stop after returning our bikes and hurt herself! But heng, she only had some sratches, no sprains. 
 
So we head back to Bedok and had our dinner there! Heee, had bubble tea too because I remember thought the store is exactly the same as the one I had in XiMenDing omg omg omg, like even thought it wasn't that nice, but it's like the Taiwan feeling is there lo!

As always, I tried their Chocolate Milk Tea, I would prefer Agantea's one, but but but this one has the taiwan XiMenDing feel leh~~~ LOL. their pearls not very nice also, it's more than chewy, it's hard!

chaili with my bubble tea! she doesn't like bubble tea a lot, and she don't like pearls too!

so after getting the bubble tea, we went to the market and ordered so many food to sample! LOL. We ordered:
 
- Curry Chicken Noodle
-Laksa (Regretted, should have tried Ramen which I didn't see it until I ordered Laksa grr)
- Goreng Piseh Fried Banana (superb that I had two of it!)

-Shuai Kueh. this is speechless-ly nice. Our seats were just right in front of the stall, and I had to buy it when I saw that the queue has shorten, because before long, the queue will start forming again and it can get really long too! I was pretty surprised at how long the queue can be!
