a new beginning. or not.

bicycling!

Got my first bicycle yesterday! It's a dark red bike. With brakes, without gear and heavy.. Cycled around from the black market bicycle shop (black mkt cos the bicycles there are all stolen) yesterday to town for dinner and then from town to the cinema for a movie and then from the cinema back home.. And boy, it was such an adventure. Firstly, I only kinda learnt how to cycle last sat and really only cycled for at most 10 mins! So i'm really an amateur at this. And here, the roads are not flat with slopes and some parts of the ground are cobbled stones and others consist of pebbles. Not to mention the roads where there's a need to watch for cars! So i fell 3 times and got a cut on my finger and bruises all over. And cos i'm such an amateur i was so slow and kept stopping! Especially at the slopes where it's just SOOOO tiring to cycle and the roads where i was so afraid i would be knocked down by a car! Million thanks to jo and yinghan for waiting for me in front and lionel who very very very patiently waited behind me and kept telling me not to rush and take my time! i'm REALLLYYY grateful!
