Let me start off by saying, IT'S AMAZING THAT I'M AWAKE AT THIS TIME! Wanna know why? Ok, it's 1.50 am now.
Here goes. The highly anticipated cycling to ECP to overnight fish was conducted on Monday night. That night.. Met Keith at Loyang bus stop at 6pm. Then cycled to CC bikie shop to pump air and met Yankai and Leon there. Then Norris messaged and say he will be late. So I went to eat first while they drank water at the hilltop coffee shop. Then 6.30, headed off to Simei. Cycled by Tampines JC, Tampines201 and finally we reached Simei. Half an hour ride and we reached there at 7pm. Norris said he would be ready by 7.30, so we waited under his block talking bout nonsense and doing stupid things. Then 7.30 and he messaged and say he would be late. Fuck, so we waited another 30mins before he was ready. Then off we go to ECP!
Norris led the road, an unfamiliar one. Through Tanah Merah, some ulu place and many other bumpy and dark paths and HIGH WAY, EXPRESS WAY. Yes, we cycled up the spiral express way leading to Marina Square, and we crossed the Highway and to ECP road. Then when we were reaching the short cut road, road block. We went in anyways and met some banglas doing construction work. So we had to carry our bikes to the grassy path and pushed it till we got pass the construction area. Then cycled to ECP. When we reached there. It was already 9pm. So we took an hour to reach ECP from Simei. Then from our end of ECP, we cycled to the other end of ECP to fish. Pass BDJ, soccer court, burger king, mac. Then we ate at the hawker before going to the jetty. Finally we reached our destination at 10pm... Settled down and fished. But the place was pitch black and we had to use torchlights. We casted our rods and played poker. But afte hours of waiting, still no luck. So we cycled to Mac at around 1am+. Ate Mac and chatted for about an hour or so. Then cycled back to the small jetty and I didn't cast anymore cos too many noobies were there. They kept casting their rods over to our line and got tangled with our lines. Dumbos. Then 3am, Panzi and her friends were going home. So we packed up and cycled to the other end of ECP to try our luck. The jetty was much better with no one there and dryer floor. So we settled and casted and pokered. AND, Yankai found $6 lying on the floor when he was trying to find some leaves to burn. And we decided pool was on him[Keith,Norris and Yankai saw this place with pool above Mac.] Then we slacked till morning.. .. . . STILL NO BITE!!! So we decided to pack up and go. Suddenly, Norris felt something. He reeled in his line and what do you know, A FISH!!! An edible one!! LUCKY! They consulted a uncle about the fish, he said it was a good one. So Norris got lucky and his dinner is settled. Then we cycled back to MAC and had our breakfast. But during the journey back, it rained heavily and we sought shelther. Back when the wait was a tit too long, we decided to cycle in the rain. So by the time we reached MAC, we were soaking wet. But not to the extent, because the rain stopped while we were half way there. Then after Mac, we went up to the pool place and played for 2hours. Costed Yankai and Norris $19. Keith, Leon and I were broke, so they treated us. Then we were very tired and decided to head back. And we tried a new route. This time, much safer but much further. 7KM to Bedok Reservior road with many bridges to climp and uphills to cycle. Whew, thigh muscles were cramping soon, I can feel it. Reached Bedok Reservior after 1 hours 30mins and cycled to Tampines Safra. Norris went separate ways and headed home while we went to take a pit stop at 7-11. Someone treated me H20 and we rested for awhile. It was 2 or 2.30 when we were at the pit stop. Then we cycled back . Keith went separate ways when we left for the Tampines Connector. Leon, Yankai and I cycled back using the Tampines connector and I thought I could chiong up the slope, but when I was reaching, THE WORST THIGH CRAMP HAPPENED. Stood under the unforgiving sorching hot sun for 5mins. Then cycled back home and bathed before eating MAC again, bought by my sister. Then slept from 4.30 to 9.30. Awake till now. Going to try to sleep. Am not sleepy but lazy. Haha, maybe will edit tomorrow. Kinda lazy to read through, BYE
I forgot to mention this. I kinda did some rough calculation and think we broke our own record. We cycled for a MINUMUM OF 25KM to and fro. Just cycling for end to end and to eat and to toilet and stuffs at ECP, we covered more then 10km. To Simei and ECP and from ECP to Tampines to Pasir kinda took us 15 - 20km. I think roughly 30km of road was covered by us within 1 day, 20hours of cycling. Whew...
