exhausting weekend
Time: 11.13pm
i'm burning up in my room! oh man...if i say its hot, it really is, given that i am not one brought up in the luxary of sleeping in air con( yes, i must be a rare breed in this time and age)
trying to do 103, but the weather is awfully distracting! actually i haven't fully woken up from my nap. Had a exahusting weekend, nite cycling on friday night, poly interview on sat morning and HI in the afternoon. Thank godness HI session was exams for the students so i slept in the student lounge. I really knocked out, sleeping through all the laughter and screaming. Peter was really quite cute, he came all prepared for the test, having all the chinese zao ju written out for the open book portion. And telling me that his sister was the one who came up with all the sentences, he only did the english sentences. hee, kind of glad i'm beginning to catch his signs. :) but next week is the last lesson already. :( thats enough to make me feel sad.
anw i wanted to talk abt nite cycling. It was really a first for me and to say i wasn't exhausted by it would be a HUGE FAT LIE! haha i was so tired that after a while i didnt feel like doing much or saying much. just enjoyed looking around at the scenary. I passed so many familiar parts, places i love or have some form of attachment too.
1) Changi beach club
Somehow i think we ended up there cause of a wrong turn. But i have been there since young. My dad is a member there. yes dun ask me how come he chose such a ulu place. But over the years, the club has improved alot and now it has a fresh modern feel that still brings with it a tinge of nostalgia. It faces the sea and i love the lower deck, sitting at the chairs and just looking out at the sea.I would have really wanted to hold SP night there, but there just wasn't enough space to accomodate so many people. such a waste really!
2)Changi airport
We were along a road ( dun ask me the name, i suck at directions), that was just next to the runway of the airport. I LOVE AIRPORTS! :) It represents all that i love- holidays, new adventures, reunions...i know that it has all the goodbyes and farewells as well, but i dun think too much abt them. I just love the sense of anticipation and excitement that it brings with its air. Makes me feel like going on a holiday! something that i always feel like doing anyway. heehee
3) mountbatten road
I passes by SADeaf! haha as i cycled i thought that it was so ironical that i would be there in less than 9 hours. In the past half year, that place has become very special to me.
4) The highway leading to town
once again, i dun know what the damn highway is called. sighz. only know that that is my favouritest sight whenever i used to take 36 from vj to town. Overlooking the sea with the sky scrapers in the background. Seeing stadium waterfront and its 1 milion dollars apartments and the massive buildings that waits in slience, in awe of the night that craddles it to sleep.
After that we cycled down the river side to reach the esplanade. I had never been there before, but i loved the view!! By the time we reached there, it was already morning, but not yet working hours. The atmosphere was, gentle. and peaceful. now if only i could figure out how to get there again!!
All these thoughts running through my head the whole night, no wonder i was so tired. :) and now if only i can clear my head of some other thoughts as well...
right, nuff said. I so need to get back to my work! cheerio
