Jeff just commented me that i din blog abt the nite cycling on 9th March.. The journey is from NTU via Nus Fong Seng(or watever) via NEwton, MErlion, Cosy Bay & finally ECP... CHanges to the usual nite cycling route that we used for the past 2 years... Ya, so here it is... Hmm, many of the pics were not well taken.. Somehow the 'nite mode' always results in blurred pics... Like this...It's so wasted... think we would've look good in this pic... Fr Right, Jeff, Yihui, Henry & Me...
Yippi dropped out or rather pang seh us due to illness... he's the one who actually jio-ed us in the 1st place one lo... As henry is the one who signed up for us, the dumb-as J* put all four of us in BLK C ... Not dat we dun like C, but looked @ the quality of the group members in D, cant blame us for being desperate to change group!!! Not only boosted by H & B, their quantity oso thrash C big Time lo... We only have 2 female participants, Oldie Yunting & our route leader... ... ... Okay la, @ least C r all familiar lao jiaoS... Group C members...
The 1st Stoppage occured not long after we started... It's actually one of the route leaders who encountered some problem... Majority of the route leaders r freshies... Though i've total faith in some ( like H) but alot of them seemed more like noobs... No wonder Huijing was so worried that some for every1's safety dat she had nitemares..Stopped @ the Hall 11 Junction...
It's afterall a blessing that our group is a all-seniorS group.. Plus, Henry, me, jeff & Guanjun were route leaders in previous years.. A bit sorry to our route leaders, but we were the ones leading the way & taking charge in the early stages...Our pace was kinda too fast n we caught up with the group infront of us even before we reached the 1st checkpoint... SO, we had a long break @ a petrol kiosk... 
Beer & Ice-cream for us.... 
Nah... just posing... Took a weird, narrow single lane clementi aveX rd enroute to Fong SEng... There was a huge crowd over there, mainly NUS pple... We waited damn long for even the drinks to be served...
Were obviously glad to be able to quench our thirst...
N were even more Joyous when the food finally came...
But after having afew bites...
LOUSY!!!! Yes, their prata simply CMI!!! just like any ordinary prata u'll find @ any coffee shop... Think those NUS pple patronise the place as it's accessible... CHWee food + long waiting time... Cant blame us for being unhappy!!!
Straight after eating the overated pratas, it's the most tedious part of the journey... From Nus up to SIm, den up NP... 4 or 5 freaking steep n long up slopes~~ Worse still, some nonsense pple still told us to stop while we're halfway up the slope... NBCB... !@$#@%%

NBCB... !@$#@%%After the horrifying slope up the clementi rd... Sweat...
I could hardly feel my legs after all the slopes... Thankfully all our group members somehow managed to make it to Bukit Timah Plaza... 
Taking straight route along Bukit Timah road towards Newton Circus... Yet again, another overrated place for food... With the stall owners behaving like Geylang pimps... "先生，要什么，随便看看，先看看先（菜单）”... Damn irritating... 
Ordered food to ying4 siew2 them as the waiting time, is way way way too long... i tink we wasted 3 hours @ the 1st 2 checkpoints... Sigh...

Sigh...Perhaps knowing that we desperately need some entertainment, Jingshun spectacularly provided us with an amazing one...
Yes!!! he went into the ladies!!! He even went to the basin to wash hands with when there's an auntie touching up her make-up inside before coolly walking out... SALUTE!!!
Muahaha that's the most memorable part of the journey...

OKayz, from newton, we could've headed straight to Cosy Bay... But somehow, the !@#$#!$ whoever made us go to Merlion Park... it's WTF!!!
City Hall area... 
The bridge near One Fullerton...
It's already 5+ by the time we reach there.. Yet again, hafta wait.. n wait.. n wait...
Until jeff slept...
& outta boredom, some did some weird 'stunts'.... It attracted the police n thats y i shdn't post the pics... hahaha

k, we departed for Cosy Bay after a loOoOONG redundant stop (Y am i repeating?)... This time, the 'whoever' finally had some common sense n it's only a brief stoppage or resting time they rather call...Still enough time for some poserS to pose...
THe '金鸡独立' duo... 
The rest of the way to ECP is easy... but, when we reached there, it's already pass 7am!!! This is the 1st time a nite cycling event had dragged so late... In fact the last group came in @ 730am~~ The bus waited for us for more than an hour... No wonder the bus driver threatened to increase the pricing... No wonder some1 refused to join this event stating lack of confidence in =X...
