     I woke up @ 5am, prayed, ironed my clothes, pack my bag & drank lots & lots of water. Why u asked?! Because tdy's the day of A.W.A's 2nd outing!! Our Cycling Expedition!! WooHoo!! Although Epul, Azhar, Zaki, Sharir, Farihin, Singh, Hari & Ad will not be joining us, i'm sure it'll still be LOADS of fun!! I left home about around 7:15am then went to usual bus stop to wait for Fir. We then took the bus to JE MRT STN. We arrived around 7:50am...the actual meeting time is @ 8:30am. Our group is full of late comers so this is bad news for me & Fir because this means that we'll have to wait extra2 long for them to arrive...sigh. Steven arrived @ around 8:15am, Ram joined us @ around 8:40am & Eddy joined us @ around 9:15am. Mahen called & told us that he'll be driving there & that he will be picking Pika up as well so we took the MRT & alighted Tanah Merah to take bus no 2 to Changi Village. We reached Changi village @ around 10+am then we sat down & had our breakfast. The food there was ok. Eddy & I had Roti Prata but it was'nt as yummy as the ones i had from Teban or from school. I could have had nasi lemak but the que was damn LONG!! It's ok...that'll be the 1st & the last time that i'll buy from that shop. Pika & Mahen joined us a few min after we finished our breakfast. So we waited for them to finish eating their breakfast before taking a boat to Pulau Ubin. I like the feeling of riding the waves...it's so relaxing...but the uncle drove so slowly...i feel like puking. I wished the uncle could drive in way faster than that....oh well. The arrived @ Pulau Ubin 10mins later then we asked the local uncle to help us take a picture of our group. Thx Uncle!! We then procced to the bicycle shop where Mahen & Fir had already booked our bikes the previous day. Thx guys!! Btw i think the girl working in the shop is cute sak!! KAWAIII DES!! We checked the bikes that was handed over to us then paid the shop bendor. Then when i was checking my bike, a van suddently drove past by me so i had to squeeze to the side of the road. OMG!! The road was already so narrow to begin with!! So dangerous!! But it ok!! It can't be helped. Then we ride to the court yard to make our warm ups. "NOTICE: This was my 1st time riding a real bike. The last time i really rode a bicycle was 20+ years ago. I remember i was a tricycle...you know...the ones with training wheels." I was so nervous!! I was'nt confortable...was'nt that confident. After the warm ups, we cycled to our 1st route. But we had to make frequent stops cos Steven was tired...it seems he tires easily. After riding for 1hr plus, taking pictures, we received a call from Sharir, saying that he will be joining us shortly after school. So we headed back to the court yard to rendezvous with him but by that time, Steven has already given up. So Fir asked us to go on ahead as he stayed back to carry Steven's heavy bag & accompony Steven as he walk back to the court yard. By the time we reach the the designated place, Sharir was already there with his bike. So we all sat dwn by the road while waiting for Fir & Steven to return. A few minute later we then saw them riding slowly back. Steven asked us to go on without him cos he's too tired. Hmm...wasted sak. But this is where the fun really begins!! The route we took after this was full of up hills & down hills!! it was super fun!! I got my confidence back after a few minutes but my slim bag was causing me so much trouble. Then there was this really2 long down slope! I went really2 fats & caught up with Fir & Pika. Fir already made the left turn & i waited for Pika to turn but she did'nt seem to be turning any time soon so i decided to take the turn but just when i made the turn, Pika made her turn as well so i pressed the break, skidded & i managed to avoid crashing into her. Phew!! OMG!! THAT WAS CLOSE!! Pika got scared & asked to go first. Not my fault what!! U take ur sweet time to make the turn. I'm just glad nothing bad happened. But still...srry Pika. Mahen then come up to me & said the he liked the way i made the 'E' brake. LoL. The be honest...i dunno what i did really. The route after that continued to be full of uphill & downhills but Ubin was beginning to get crowded because there seemed to be an increase of bikers on the road. We rested by the beach to have toilet breaks & i got a message from Farihin, telling me that he has finished work & is heading back home to change & he will call me again when he reach home. Then a few minutes later while i was cycling, i felt my handphone vibrating. So i stopped by the road to pick up the call. It was Farihin asking me y it took me so long to pick up the call. HELLOOOO!! PANDAI!! This is a cycling Expedition!! Of cos i'll be cycling lah!! He then asked me what to wear & what to bring to the Expedition. I gave hime the info & then told him that i got to go because i was already behind the pack! So i hung up & phone then i went full speed ahead to catch up with the guyz. I came across a down slope after a few minute so i went full speed but then, there was this huge family that stopped in the middle of the road @ the end of the down slope. So i saw an opening @ the right side & decided to take it but then their littlegirl made her way to the right lane. DAMN!!SHIT!! I WAS ALREADY ON THE WAY DOWNHILL SPEEDING ON THAT LANE!! There was no horn!! No bell!! Nothing to avoid an accident!! So i pressed on the brakes gently to prevent myself from getting injured then i steered myself clear as much as possible but that DUMB girl was still cycling to the right!! So by bike hit her right arm as i went past her but my bike was on a path to the rocky wall at the side of the hill. I don't know how i managed to brake in time but i did!! it happened!! I don't have a single scratch on me. But the girl was complaining that her arm hurts while her mom was scolding her about switching lanes all of a sudden. Instead of scolding her, why don't u just ask ur WHOLE DAMN FAMILY!! to park ur bikes on the side of the track before having a conversation!! IDIOTS!! I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED!! Thank GOD!! I was'nt injured!! I got too many injuries already!! Then after cleaning myself from the dirt off my hands & shirt, i continued ahead trying to catch up with the rest when i suddently saw a guy with a blue shirt. It was Sharir! He waited for me!! Thx bro!! Phew! I tought i lost u guyz! Then we made our was uphill to join the rest of the A.W.A but then i saw someone lying on the ground at the side of the track. it was RAM!! He told me that he got cramps. So i went to help him but was'nt experienced in this matter. He insturcted me on hw do help him & i did. Srry iRAM!! I'm still a noob!! Then after a few mins of rest, we went to this area where we had to go on foot to continue. So we rested again under the hut before parking our bikes & going to Jejawi Tower to have a nice View of Pulau Ubin, 21 stories high. The view up there was Awesome!! But the climb up the stairs was tiring...especially after a long day of cycling around Pulau Ubin. We took some pics & wanted to take a pic of the whole club so we asked the tourist there who told us that he was from Germany. Thx Germany Dude!! Everyone who went to this Expedition was on the pic except for Ram who was still recovering from the cramp he had earlier. But as we were about to go back down from the tower, RAM finally made it to the top. LOL!! That was hilarious!! Srry RAM!! So we made our way down. The walk down the step was amazingly easier & fast. Then when we got to the ground floor, RAM & i saw a big durian on a magazine. It's like as though it's saying: Pick me up!! Bring me home!! LoL. So RAM asked me to take out his mineral bottle & put in the durian in his bag! LoL. So i did. But it did'nt fit in so Fir asked us to put it in his bag which was WAY BIGGER than RAM's bagpack. Then i heard a girl wining to her Boyfriend about something then when i look back, she was pointing @ us. LoL. If the durian is ur's then claim it lah!! WTH!! Why just leave it there?! Am i right onot? If u asked us to give it back then we'll sure to give it back what. Cos it's not ours either. But they just walked away. LoL. I'm more into a cool bootle of 100 plus or H2O than that durian anyway cos i was Sooooo thirsty at @ that point of time. So we made our way to our parked bikes but then Fir said that the durian was heavy & then he ditched it. LoL. If ur gonna ditch it then we should'nt have taken it in the first place!! Right onot?! I feel bad for the couple juz now seh. They must be really hating us back then. They'll be like...DAMN!! DURIAN STEALERS!! LOL!! WAKAKAKAKA!! Whatever lah!! LOL!! So we got on our bikes again & continued on our last leg of the Expedition. We stopped on top of an uphill trail to take a few pics of the nice scenery followed by rocky, steep downhill slopes. I thought i could go fast like before but i was wrong!! the brakes did'nt seem to be effective @ the rocky areas!! I'M STILL A NOOB WHAT!! HOW SHOULD I KNOW!! I ended up skidding all the way down. OMG!! IT WAS SCARY!! Fir & i was the 1st ones to end the rocky trail then i heard that Sharir fell down, back @ the downslope. Then we waited for some of the guys to take a bath & change their clothes before taking a few final pics @ Pulau Ubin before taking the boat back to Changi Village to Rendezvous with Mahen, Steven, Ad & Farihin. We then had our dinner together. I had Kway Teow Goreng & Pineapple juice x2!! Yay!! It was DELICIOUS!! The Pineapple juice was HEAVENLY!! Then we asked a KAWAII!! Jap girl to help us take a few pics. We really had lots of fun!! But it did'nt end there, we took a bus to Temp mall to relax till 10+pm before taking the MRT back home. We still laughed on the way back home thx to Fir. LoL. But i was tired & fell asleep on the train till JE MRT STN. The we said our goodbyes & i took bus 51 back home. I reached home @ around 12am, took a well deserved bath then slept like i nvr slept before. Awww Mannn was i tired!!Thx Mahen & Fir for organising this Expedition for the club!! IT WAS AWESOME!! (Some of the things that happened in the Expedition was not mentioned in this post cos i dun wanna spoil the mood) Take care guyz!! I hope we can have another A.W.A outing soon!!
