Make it out alive
I cycled from downtown east to IKEA in the blistering hot sun on a small ass bicycle almost dehydrating and fainting halfway then walked back to downtown east pushing my bike getting drenched in the pouring rain and getting lost 4 times. I shit you not. I couldn't cycle back cos i had too many cramps attacking my legs and the bicycle chair was really, really small. Not to mention the fact that i went swimming in the morning for a good 2 hours and started cramping after i got out of the pool. If there ever was a day i could enter into the book of saddest days ever, i think today would pretty much top the other chapters. It was like a nightmare i had once, except i was in Germany, had no food and no money. Spent an hour on the roads this morning trying to look for YCK swimming complex getting lost thanks to my mom's amazing directional skills but finally made it there to find cumara and jon already swimming. I hadn't swam in over a year and a half so i was a bit rusty, but i am a gold star certificate holder in swimming. Seriously. But that was back when i was 12. pfft. Old fears hit me as i embraced the pool waters, little children giggled and stared and adults smiled and held back their amusement with what little maturity they had. I don't like children when im in the same pool with them. tsk. Little dickweeds. Then we took a 22 stop train ride to pasir ris where we met fried, glascow and the rest. Lunched at macs and i tried the really pathetic mega mac which is still bullocks compared to carl's jr's pattys. Somehow made our way to costa sands where fried, glascow and ernest had already rented bikes and were pedaling rounds around the whole place. Got lost but eventually found the bike rental where i made the big mistake of renting the bike. Tsk. And thus began the hell ride to ikea. I was so dead dehydrated when we were a short while away from ikea that i couldnt see anything and had to collapse. The people ahead of me went too fast and the people behind me went too slow, as a result, i was stuck in the middle with no one to see my graceful fall. I did however have the pleasant audience of senior citizens on a bus who giggled at my fall. Tsk. Reached ikea and downed 4 litres of water. Never before in my life had i felt such repulse for food and such love for water. We started on our journey back, but 5 minutes into it and both my legs cramped and my knee caps locked, so i threw aside my bike with a theatrical crash and fell onto the sidewalk, screaming as cumara and fried tried to stretch my legs. You prolly think im exadurating, but my leg muscles are huge because of the large weight it carries around every day, so when it cramps, i assure you, it really, really hurts. Tried getting a cab back to costa sands with chris as the rest moved on, but no one would stop for us cos we had bikes, and apparently its some shit rule in the taxibastards handbook that disallows the carrying of bicycles in vehicle. So we tried calling maxi cab, but they didn't pick up. We gave up after awhile and decided to push our bikes back as it started to pour like mad. This really is starting to sound like some unbelievably dramatic sad tale you'd hear at an emo convention, isn't it? So we traveled, carrying our bikes up overhead bridges with me getting a cramp halfway across the bridge and just standing there gripping onto the side railing, eyes closed, sloshed and holding back screams while maintainence workers on the bridge, passers by on the bridge and pedestrians crossing the road stared at me in bewilderment. Got lost after awhile cos we had no clue where we were headed. I would've loved to ask for directions but unfortunately, it was storming and no one was on the streets. Finally found pasir ris park where we trekked through swamps and thick forestation, praying for this to end. After like, a couple thousand miles, i spotted the sign "Bicycle rental" from the corner of my eye quickly zipped into the place realizing we had finally found our way back to the rental. Joined up with the rest and headed to fish and co express where i had a glorious hot dog. Cabbed home soon after cos i was way too tired. Pfft. I dont think i'll be biking again anytime soon, if you see me one day, and i happen to be on a bike, please, stop me. Tsk. The sun's completely killed me and im now literally red. In retrospect, the rain then killed me and now im down with a cold. Just kill me won't you. I dont even have the energy to lift a fork and spoon for dinner, so i think i'll spend the rest of the night just sitting down. Drama chalet tomorrow at the same stupid downtown east, tsk, i am not going anywhere near bicycles. I'll seeyuh when i seeyuh. ao |
