24th March 2025 Cycling

 Duty Week Starts. 

So does Stella internship

Late at night, while i was doing server patching, I decide to go for a spin while waiting for the patching to complete.

23rd March 2025 Cycling

 As my duty week is commencing tomorrow, i decide to take T-Rex for a spin in case i do not have a chance to ride the entire week

22nd March 2025 Cycling - Simpang Kiri

 Took T-Rex for a spin at Simpang Kiri. 
I was barely 20 mins into my ride when the sky started to drizzle. 

I try to ignore it, but the drizzle persisted.

Took a look at NEA rain area and the rain is threatening to come from the right.

Decided to call it a day and took 861.

When i reached home, it still have not rain and Khatib is dry as a bone.

Was feeling upset but the sky opens up 5 minutes later 

18th March 2025 Cycling

Looking for a way to clock the 39 exercises required for AIA Vitality Challenge.

Decided to take the bike for an easy spin along Sembawang Road and 3 rounds around Lower Seletar Park to clock the necessary 30 minutes. 😜

16th March 2025 Cycling

 Did an easy ride from home to Springleaf back home.

15th March 2025 Cycling - Amos

 Met Amos at 7:15am and we proceed to cycle towards Geylang Bahru Market for breakfast.

At least that is what the plan is.

Pretty interesting route he choose.

Instead of cycling straight down through AMK Central, we cycled through AMK Ave 10.

Must say it is a great choice, as we avoided the crowd and the construction around AMK Central.

Plus the cycling path along AMK Ave 10 was wide enough to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists.

It is a small diversion and we are able to connect back to Bishan Park Connector.

First time I rode through Bishan Circular Cycling Ramp. 

It was open 4.5 years ago, I had cycled to MBS twice during Covid-19, yet I never knew it existed!

Or maybe I have (looking at Google Maps).... now i am so confused. 

Again, looking at Google Map, I finally realised that I cycled through the CTE underpass.

Was supposed to cycle through CTE underpass during Covid-19, but it wasn't ready when we were there.

Crossing over to Bendemeer Road, Amos was ready to stop for breakfast, but I wanted to show him the crossing across Kallang Bahru.

First you have to cross the traffic lights, find the dirt path hidden beside the bridge and navigate down the narrow path with your bike to get back onto the Kallang PCN.

Guess what? we found this underpass instead!

Nice.

This perks both our curiosity, so instead of turning left to go to Geylang Bahru Market for breakfast, both of us decided to just continue towards the city.

First we check on each other, to see if both of us still have the energy to continue.

I was worried for him, he was worried for me.

Cycling onwards, I was really surprised to see another underpass along Boon Keng!

As if the surprises weren't enough, there was a 3rd underpass across Geylang Road!

We proceed to Golden Mile Hawker Center for breakfast. 

Amos mentioned that he usually cycle here for breakfast before cycling home. 

I did not pay much attention to the remark. (Major mistake)

Again Amos check on me and we decided to take the longer route back through Gardens by the Bay, Marina Barrage Dam and National Stadium.

We have barely started when my right knee started to hurt. My quads are hurting too.

Still we continued. Stopped at Marina Barrage for a break.

I am surprised when Amos decide to rest longer than I expected.

Is he tired?

After about 20-30mins of rest, we continued. 

Across the dam, my quads are giving out.

I am truthfully hurting, yet Amos seems to be still going strong.

At Tanjong Rhu, i decided to call it quits. 

One, i cannot keep up the pace.

Two, i do not wanna injure myself.

I was surprised when Amos say he will continue to cycle home.

That has always been my ethos, but not today.

I wanted to cycle with Amos towards Kallang Road so that I can go Kallang MRT/Stadium MRT when 

he told me there is a Tanjong Rhu MRT station.

I looked back and was surprised that we cycled past the MRT station and I din notice it at all.

Took the TEL train and change to North-South Line
Just reached Khatib MRT when Amos texted me he is at Yishun.

The guy is an animal. 

How did he travel faster than our MRT system

14th March 2025 T-Rex

Was not sure if i am ever going to blog again. 

But here I am.

Was on leave on Thursday and Friday and ended up buying a foldie.

Was not sure if I was even going to get motivated, but I went ahead and got it anyway.

Had a look through my accounts on Thursday, things are starting to look up but I am still not in very good hands.

Hence this purchase.... I am not sure if I have made the right choice. 

I had always wanted to get a bike... been thinking about it for years in fact.

I just had a good feeling about the bike, hence i got it.
