Family Bike @ ECP

Written at Saturday, May 19, 2012 | back to top

it has been such a long time since we last went to East Coast Park for cycling, yeah this time round we finally found a free and vacant Saturday when most of us are free, and yea it's a long-time-no-see-Edmund-day as well. haha. it's a free and book out Saturday for him =D

well, this time round we did not go for a single bike, or a roller blade. we went for a woohoo Family Bike, that was... well, just nice enough for 6 people. we went ahead to rent it for $70 for 3 hours, that was kind of expensive huh, but shared among the 6 of us should be okay lah huh.

yeah, the 6 of us!!!

and yeah, so the 6 of us started our 2 hours journey on this yellow Family Bike. there's only 4 pedals, so only 4 people will be pedalling and 2 would be sitting inside shaking legs. haha. and super no shame, Edmund happened to one of the two who were sitting and allowing 4 girls to pedal their legs off to get that bike moving. and he... the only man on the bike, but he's sitting down enjoying the wind, no wonder everyone who cycled past us would take a peek inside and then started "smiling" at Edmund. hahaha. more like mocking at him duh! LOL.

anyway, the bike is seriously SLOW! 4 people pedalling but the bike is moving way too slow lah deh. it's so much difficult then a single bike, and it's so much tiring to pedal.

starting off soon loh!!

after cycling for an hour plus, we decided to stop by some random place and rest. yeah finally can stopped and rest our legs, and also.... for some photos taking wahahahah.

i think this is a pretty cool shot =D

JUMP SHOT!!

hold hand and jumpppp

looks like....

那些年，我们一起去 East Coast Park!!

and yes, back on track. time to cycle back..

a change of position, Ting Yu's turn to cycle

well, 3 hours of cycling is tiring, but we shared the burden together hahaha. it's a way of bonding huh! the journey back is horrible especially when the sun glaring at us, hot like mad.

still, we managed to get back in time, returned the bike and then thinking of our next location to have our dinner. Ting Yu suggested to go Asia Square, somewhere at Marina area, to have pizza at Extravirgin Pizza. yeah, she has got $30 voucher to dine in there.

we took 196 and alighted at Lao Pat Sat area and started hunting for the Asia Square, looking through map on iphone and ended up merry-go-round there. in the end, with Ginnette's help, we finally managed to find the place. it was actually very near the bus stop where we alighted, i don't know how we ended up walking extra distance, merry-go-round the place.

YO, at Extravirgin Pizza...

waiting to be served!

Ham and Mushroom Pizza

Spotted Pig Pizza

MUNCH TIME

and yah, some comical moment, when the bill was sent to us, and Ting Yu was digging her purse for the voucher. and then suddenly she got this shocked look on her face. i thought like what?! voucher expired huh?

and then she went from a shock... and followed by a smile. and she was like, "i got $40 voucher, not $30!!" *BIG SMILE* heh heh heh. total bill was only $52. since Ting Yu forked out all her vouchers, the remaining $12 was shared among the 5 of us, and we insist Ting Yu not to pay anymore =D nice huh hahah

woohoo, $40 lah girl.

last photo before we went off..

Rollerblading @ ECP

Written at Sunday, April 17, 2011 | back to top

well, remembered the last time when we came East Coast Park for rollerblading, but we ended up going there as a waste trip due to the sudden downpour, sitting at the Burger King waiting for rain to stop.

thus, we decided to held it another day, which is today. anyway, more people able to make it as compared to the previous time. heh!~ and the weather today was so much better, it's a hot and sunny afternoon. time to get our blades!!!

US.... inclusive of beginner and advance rollerblader!!
well, i'm considered half-half, not that pro and not that weak.

blades on, time to go off!!!!

off we go..
i'm stubborn, i refused to wear safety knee guard!!
the most.... fall down only!!

at the first waiting point, to wait for those who were lagging behind
Group photo

and then followed by our first resting point

well, after we have enough of rest, we move on further away. it's pretty fun to rollerblade in speed, just that you are at your own risk. i remembered i fell pretty bad the last time when i came rollerblading with my NP friends. i was speeding like a wind without wearing any knee guard, and i fell hard on the ground, haha. how stupid!

and i never learnt my lesson. i still insist not wearing knee guard, and i still continue to speed :) BUT, i didn't fall today. hohoho!! was struggling to learn immediate stopping but failed badly. i still unable to stop in a more professional way :( 2 hours wasn't enough for me to master the skill!

arm locked, at the second resting point

time to snap pictures

it's such a good weather ^^

well, time was almost up and so we had to make a u-turn trip back to return our blades. the real professional rollerblader is Moo actually, and the 2 weakest of all were Audrey and Joshua. lol. i think they fell lots of time today. haha. falling down is the process of learning. i fell alot too when i learnt how to blade 13 years ago.

Ginnette, Moo, Shun An, Ting Yu and me reached back the shop long long ago, waited for Audrey and Joshua for super long before we saw them struggling back. haha. anyway, at least they made it back. well done!!

the 5 winners vs the 2 losers

great job to the winning team ^^

and the entire group of us ^^

after returning, we decided to do some jump shots at the beach. and it's a coincidence to bump into Audrey's group of RP friends. well, they knew Ginnette, Joshua and Moo too since they were all from the same poly. and so, introduce introduce and we will know each other, of course with a group photo would be better! hahaha.

and then, Shun An, Ting Yu and me left early while the rest went off for dinner at Parkway area...

multiple attempts to jump

a success shot

and the final group photo...

well, an enjoyable day at East Coast Park, 2 hours of rollerblading made my feet pain, numb and suffocated. hahaha. but nevertheless, i don't mind coming back to blade :D
