Cycling @ ECP

That's what we had in return for cycling at ECP yesterday. Huiling, Soonie, Stephie and i had sunburns after a 2-hour cycle in ECP. Till now, it's still burning or rather, itching. I looked like a cooked lobster. And Miss Huiling is going for a second round today. Geez...

After lunch at KFC, we rented bicycles from the nearest shop in BigSplash. It cost me $12! Grrr... so expensive! 2 years ago, we only rented bikes for $6 or so for 2-3 hours. Here, economics played a part... Inflation rates, cost of crude oil increasing, etc... FINE! Unwillingly, i parted with my $12... Sobs... Lol. Sound like a miser. Haha... Who cares? I had LOTS of FUN!

We completed one side of the park which was a short distance away from BigSplash. Then we made a U-turn and headed for the other direction. Mission: To complete the entire route before we make our way back to the bicycle rental shop 2 hours later. That was a bad choice.

1 hour later, we parked at a convenient store to get some drinks. The crazy weather was dehydrating us. And we were drained out.

But the breeze that accompanied the ride was refreshing. Feeling the wind slap against my face, that was just so exhilarating. What's more, the adrenaline rush was simply amazing. Unable to drive a car now, i'm somewhat satisfied with that of a bike.

Along the way, we stopped by two jetties to enjoy the sea breeze. Parks and beaches are truly great places for relaxation. Indeed, it lifts one's mood up, real high.

Due to the lack of time, we were unable to complete our mission. We headed back to BigSplash instead. And yes, cycling is a great time to people watch too! Bladers, Caucasians (YAY!), little kids, couples, families, friends, first-timers... This reminds me. Huiling and i were riding side by side when we saw this guy so engrossed in people watching, he didn't notice a water hose that was laid across the tracks and tripped over it. Ouch! Watch it, man! *Giggles*

Very quickly, 2 hours came to an end. We cleaned up and walked over to Carl's Jr with wobbly legs for a drink. Not a very refreshing drink for i made really bad iced tea. So sorry, gals. =x

I love the shuttle bus. It was PRIVATE! A chaffeur, a bus leader and only the four of us on board. Hehe.. We were busy snapping pictures and our little chaffeur stole glances at us. Hey, don't peep! Well, we paid a dollar for each private bus ride though. But it was fun in the bus. Haha..

Bushed. Longed for a refreshing bath~
