2006, in sometime middle of September in Singapore, the haze had stop most of the people from going out or the outdoor activities. With PSI reading of about 100 to 150, it just also had stop me from cycling. However, with my itchy leg, everytime when the readings goes down to about 80, i just wouldn't want to wait for a clear blue sky i'll just head out for a sping to a near by park, Lower Pierce.
And so my adventure begins even with the haze trying to chock me up. My first look into my map, i got to go see this place, Kranji Dam, it's a historical site of Kranji beach battle place. It's a long and rough trip i would say, on the way when again i was lost, and also brings back memories when i was a like three years old i think i was at this Upper Seletar Reservoir when this building first gave me an impression i might have went up there before when i was a kid.
Then come next is an old abandon army camp but i belive it is still under protection by the military, and a KTM railway track. Lots of trucks and cars going pass this place Kranji Loop an industy park with rough road that i end up having a bad butt day. Finally, at about 30km something, i am at my destination, again this place just look so familiar as is i was here before when i was a little rascal, yes going there was fun but the way back is the tiring part, but of cos i managed to reach home.
About a week after that adventure trip to the Dam, i suddenly have the spirt to have another, but this time is bit of a different, i wanted something more thrill, so as again look into my map, bingo Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. Hearing from some of the more professional or hard core cyclist, they said this trail is not a good idea for leisure bikers who just started out, so i have to see it for myself. Took me about an hour or so to rech the reserve, up looking at the route, well thinking to myself it might not be as scary as what they said. So being a stubborn i just pedal on, upon slop after steep slop, and i finally sees another this time a big one. By the time i actually climb up without pedaling, looking forward and decided to turn back and my legs doesn't seems to behave on that day. But well going down was much fun actually. So in the end it turn out to be true what they said and so i just look around the park.
On my way back, as the sound of the ring and gon from near my house, i know i just have to take a look. It's a chinese puppet opera, they are just offering a show to the gods of their believes, this is now a dieing tradition today as we are not enjoying it, back then during the our great grandparent's time even children will take a seat and watch, as this is the only entertainment during the yester years.
Now about 2 week past and the haze seems to be gone, now with a clear blue sky and finally i am able to see some clouds and not forgetting the smiley looking face sun. So my friend and i decided to go out for a sping, we quickly grab our bikes and head for Sembawang Park. Another about two hours ride, we finally reach our destination, i with a crave for ice cold 100Plus drink, drank it down with joy and of cause have a sit back and relax while we are there with all the fresh air. So as for me sitting there and got bore, started taking out my camera and just wanting waste or finish up this roll of film.
