I want to ride my BICYCLE

I Want To Ride It Where I Like



It turns out that both of us now have the single bar... I was supposed to get the step-through frame, but turned out it only comes in 28-in wheels, which is much too big for me, unfortunately.

But that's fine, I like the single bar just fine. Even if it means me falling to the side with the bicycle sometimes, while trying to get off and failing because I'm too short. It's fine.

And that's because my bicycle looks fantastic.

These are photos taken the bicycles' virgin cycling journey:

Lovingly transported by M to Changi on the bike rack..



Say hello to M's... Here we try to find a nice background for the babies (:



Lookin' good!



Lookin' good too! ((((:



After about eight kilometres, the bicycles take a well-deserved break to model for my camera.



M pretends he's cycling. He fails.



Then we road hog...



And M takes photos with my FE2





It's now evening. We cycle furiously to the end of the path for the sunset...

Only to find out its hidden behind a huge clump of clouds which look like they will not be disappearing soon.

So... M & I pose with our beauties (:



We now bid you adieu after sunset (:

Old Photos

Bring back memories.

My days at SPH:

Much fun revolved at lunchtime. I fondly remember the malay stall uncle shouting 'Member! I know what you want, member!'

I miss his food. And I miss the fattening avocado milkshakes.

Here's PSAQ, during one of the few lunches when she ate with Z and I.



Outside at the garden, happy girls during lunchbreak (:



There were some pretty good times at SPH, I'll admit. Some of the BT people were especially warm and friendly.



When I see this photo, I immediately remember what Shyam says... Don't ever crop off limbs (: But its still a rather nice shot, thanks Z.



My hippo, perpetually present in my life (:



Its of equal importance to me as Billy. I can live without it for a few nights, but then will sorely start missing. I hope Billy recovers well from his shock today... I don't know what I would do if I lost Billy so early ): I guess sometimes even preparing the heart for such matters won't help.

And the Sundays when I used to go shooting with YS.



If not, cycling. It just seems like a hazy memory now.



We would always stop at this sandbar... along the way from Changi to East Coast.



I've always wanted to take a slippers with sea shot. With some footprints fading off into the sea. Because it always represented nostalgia for me. Unfortunately, I couldn't make any footprints form that day. And I've lost my slippers. Now I'm losing my friend. Perhaps, sometimes, prolonging friendships when their suffering is not meant to be.

Its time to let go.

Sunrise at Changi

Today, I did what I thought I'd never do in the right mind:
Wake up @ 0500.

Of course, I only did it because YS was meeting me picking me up, and as a result he had to wake up even earlier than me.

This is a reason why morning runners should all have running buddies.

Anyway, after a nice drive along the almost empty highway, we reached Changi Beach. Boy was it DARK. Dark dark dark dark at around 0630. So, while walking on the beach I stumbled upon a few things. Including a white cylindrical object I hope and pray was not an urn.

And fortunately YS called out before I stumbled onto this couple in the darkness, happily hugging it seems:

Rendezvous

Fortunately again, it was not R21.

Soon after, they left with my intrusion. And the sky began lighting up.

Lighting Up

Just to give prior warning, this will be a long and photo-heavy post.

'Cos I finally have the time to go through my photos!

Onwards!

A photo with seagrass:

Seaweed

I like taking photos of seagrass

Till I looked upwards and saw the pink cloud! Giant and pink like a huge puff of cotton candy which exploded into the sky.

pink big

Check out this beaut!

skies contrast 2

I love how both the skies and sea contrast, blue on one side and goldish pink on the other. Almost as if I used my fabulous Singh-Ray Gold-N-Blue Polariser, which was resting in my bag at said moment.

Contrasted

An awesome sky above the trees lining Changi Beach:

Then I looked around, and saw a man fishing.

Here he is, without his fishing rod.

Then I looked upwards again (you get the gist?)

clouds

But while I was stoning and complaining about the lack of a SUNrise since the skies seemed to be lighting up of their own accord...

This photographer from a huge group which appeared out of nowhere started making his way to front.

That wily man had spotted the sun!

sunrise

Which was quite disappointing and partially covered by clouds if you ask me.

By the way, why did I wake up at 0500 for this?!

Then I calmed down and took a position nearby and started shooting. The ugly sun.

and the lovers sailed off into the sunrise.

sunrise boat 2

This one reminds me of a photo I took in Canada. Which knowing me, haven't uploaded or processed for the matter:

And here's my favourite out of all the photos I've taken:

sunrise plane

See the plane and the sun? Nice!

We're only halfway through by the way, but don't stop reading.

Here's the typical sunrise shot. Boring... but I kinda like those clouds floating in a row:

Then light bathed Changi Beach in its beautiful glow.

Beautiful glow is subjective. The above photo contains the fishing man. Fisherman. Whatever.

fishing 4

That lil fella between the fishing rod and little fisherman is YS (:

Here he is again!

ys

and again.

Did I mention what a nice guy he is? His camera battery died halfway but he waited patiently while I kept snapping away with indecision.

Let's end with another shot of the beautiful sky (:

Goodbye!
