the forth day ; Wednesday, September 05, 2007 21:53
my mother's calls every night seem to tell me the same thing. go and find a job instead of slacking the whole holiday and why do you go out everyday? dont your friends have to work? i think, it's going to be the same when she comes back.
i got the bicycle! after waiting 50mins outside chanmeng's house and finally waking him up, only to realise he slept at 6am in the morning. it came without air, and two bicycle shops told me they dont own a pump. wtf. so i went to this tyre shop near my grandmother's house. he told me they had a pump and it was behind the stall. after trying in vain to pump for 10mins, he told me the pump was meant for car tyres. then why the hell tell me i could pump my bike? lucky i had a higher tolerance level, or i might have sent the daylights out of him.
went with my grandmother and aunt to bugis. took a cab there. rich people. not me. went to the temple to pray, and to the nearby coffeeshop to eat vegetarian kuay chap. as usual, they forced all the food down me and left me full throughout the journey home. finally pumped the bike at a newly-opened store near ave3 and cycled home. learnt that shop owners dont help you to pump your bike coz they want you to learn somehow.
shiyuan came over close to five thirty. our cycling destination was upper pierce reservoir. we made it past lower pierce. my determination led us to the road of upper pierce. unfortunately, we were stopped by four monkeys on the road. we decided that it was the end of the journey. didnt want to race past them in case they thought we were playing with them and come after us. anyway, the slopes uphill aren't pleasant. at a point i really wanted to get off my bike and push it up.
turned around and came back to amk central. stopped for bubble tea, went around the old interchange and to the library, before stopping at his house and going back home. it's more tiring than playing soccer.
oh. the three of us fixed dinner for ourselves! i wanted to fry rice, then my sister joined in. my brother came and cut the luncheon meat and suddenly, we were all at it together! for a first attempt, i thought it was rather well done. (:
