Woke up @ 8am yesterday and left for work.. however, today's a bit different, there was a sense of urgency because there was really a timeline that I need to meet to complete my testing as the launch date for the drm is next week... Spent the entire day until 6pm rushin through them and only managed to locate and test 27 phones out of the possible 40 that I've listed... Din really give a hoot about it cuz it was the best I could, however the stewpit thing is that I will have to test these number of phones again in order to ensure that this new service works... And this is suppose to be the new era with advanced technology... Oh ya... while I go thru my testing, I fonud out that there are ppl who actually read my blog... interesting.. I always had that impression that even though I give out my url to people, they wouldn't bother about me cuz they aren't interested... (Thanks for reading. really appreciate it!)
Besides rushing through the testing, the sense of urgency was also due to the excitement that I'm having for the night cycling @ 11pm.. so I happily packed up my stuff @ 6pm sharp and rushed off home to meet Stella for dinner. She picked me up and ended up @ CHomp CHomp...Coincidentally, I happened to meet Ding there.. such a small world.. seeing him reminds me of BMT siah... HAven't seen anyone of them since leaving army.. so sad... furthremore, it also reminds me that I haven't been watching my diet for the past 2 years esp this few days as well.. (I had chwee kuay, fried carrot cake (shared), sugar cane juice (shared) and dumplings noodles @ chomp Chomp)..
After dinner, Stella dropped me off at a convenient bus stop where there was 135 cuz she doesn't really know her way around... This proceeded with me being early at the meeting pt for night cycling and since I was early and just got my pay, I spurged my money @ Mc cafe with a mango frappa and some more @ the arcade and bowling alley @ East coast..
Time passed slowly and finally reached 11pm where sight of my fellow cyclists slowly emerged (THEY WERE BLOODY LATE LOR !!! suppose to meet @ 10.30), however guess it was the first time for some including me.. everybody was very enthusiastic and we just paid for our bikes, kept off our stuff and off we go....
The route began from East Coast to Tanah Merah to Changi Village where we ate again (THis time I had Nasi lemak and sugar cane juice) before we carried on passed the old Changi hospital, passed Pasir Ris to tampines before turning for Simei. After Simei, we carried to bedok before turning to siglap where we stopped over for food but this time round everybody was too tired and just had drinks only (I had teh 'peng'..). After which, we proceed to VJC before crossing ECP to reach east coast, however I guess some of us still had the energy so we got everybody to cycle to the other end of East coast which was mountbatten/fort rd before heading to one of the jetty @ East coast... Although it was a bruising trip for my butt, but it was really enjoyable. (apart from having to cycle with the lousy $8 bike because the $10 one ran out already) I wouldn't mind doing something like this again once i recover from my bruises... haha
However the night din just end there as we returned our bikes, washed up and went to have breakfast..yes i know food again.. (I had a Hotcakes value meal and a sausage macmuffin..) before going to watch sunrise... the whole event ended with everybody dragging their tired bodies home to catch some sleep (thank god WX came down to give us a ride if not I would not have gotten home so early to write this our..) =P
GOod nightz...ZZZzzzzz
J'amore mon cherie
