How do you celebrate the Lunar New year?
Many people were probably up and early. Getting dressed in their newest and most pretty clothes. Getting mandarin oranges and wishing that today's collection of Hong Baos will be a bountiful one. Money money money! Heh.
I was up at 5am. (WHAT THE HELL are you awake at 5am on a freaking holiday?) I took my bicycle out. And cycled. That was how I celebrated CNY. Wow.
I was supposed to meet my good buddy since sec 1, thats like 8 years and counting, to cycle together at Sembawang MRT at 6am. I was there early and waited. I waited some more till I realised he wasn't going to turn up. Gave him a call. Hello hello. Where are you?
Sorry sorry, I am still at home. Me: Oh okie. Why not this way. I cycle down to khatib and meet you instead? And off I went. Cycling along the road was pretty peaceful. No cars no nothing at all. Just you and a long long road. Good for clearing your mind off matters. (:
Anyways, I reached khatib without much fuss or anything and I gave him another call, knowing he will still be asleep definitely. I was right. And he said he will be down as soon as possible.
So I just waited around. It started to drizzle. Then out of the blue, I saw a figure cycling towards me. I was like god, I am so screwed.
Steven's attire was as such : bicycle helmet on, bicycle with thin racing wheels, and some dri-fit outfit that those competitive cyclist all wear.
MY ATTIRE: no helmet, just a fine crop of hair.. An old bike that is huge and bulky. Guess what was I wearing? My JC pe shorts and a shirt that I just found hanging inside my cupboard. Did I mention I wasn't wearing a helmet? Haha. At this point of time, I was like oh shit. What should I do? AHHHH. F*** it, I only live once anyways, just whack. (:
So off I went and cycling behind him. No wait, cancel that. I was trying to cycle behind him as I was playing catch up most of the time. Even when going downslope, his bike would like break away and I would be far far behind.
I was dying as I peddled and I tried my very best. Somehow I survived till I arrived at Casurina's prata shop. Had a great breakfast. Seriously, after cycling so much, I don't really care about the fats and oils and all. (:
Cycled back and he sent me home to sembawang as a form of apology. Thanks bro, you were there when I needed someone. (:
Anyways, on another note so as to not put too much pressure on karishmaaa. I AM SO SO SORRYGIRLS! I can't make it on wednesday as I need to return to army. But please don't cancel the gathering because of me. You girls all just go as a class gathering and have ice cream together! I am sorry truly. And I feel so guilty. Sorry girls. ):
