arghhh… i really do wish for more time to blog! and for more time to do everything else, for that matter.
it’s monday and i’m beat from last night’s night cycle. rode from tampines to changi village and back to tampines in 1.5 hrs with a short break in between. burnt around 481 calories. it was a very very late ride. reached tampines at 12.30am!! there was one particular slope that was a killer. i peddled like a crazy dog :P but i really like the sensation of cruising down the slopes. hope to do the next ride soon tho’ i suspect that cycling is not exactly the best thing for my knees 
i bought a car rack for my bike and i tell you; putting it up is as good a warm up. it takes about 15 mins to mount the rack and the bike on it. hopefully, it will take shorter time once i get more familiar with it.
anywayz, i went to sunday school for a very short visit yesterday. i went to church very early, to pass them the projector. so, i took the opportunity to visit the children at sunday school. i went to the pre-school class. my camera phone amused them and they were very eager to pose for me. timi (short for timothy?) was exceptionally funny. he kept wanting to make funny and monkey faces for me…. 
reminds me of the time when i was teaching in sunday school back in bartley. reminds me that i once said (when i was much much younger) that my preferred ministries would be the sunday school and worship….
and i thought this was realli funny!!
i’ve picked up cycling recently. got a 2nd hand two-wheeler a few weeks ago for $190 and that’s good! am not sure if’s it’s something i would do for long or something that i can afford much time on.
i’ve since gone on 2 rides. first was from home to bedok reservoir and back. a short and manageable distance with long intervals in between as we had to adjust the seat height and angle a couple of times along the way. the 2nd was to ECP and back! still not too bad. i was reminded of a night cycling trip donkey years ago. i believe we started from ECP and then to hougang area and then to the airport and back to ECP!
i’ve enjoyed both trips so far. but still need to work on my core. i was a little unstable on the bike especially when it is at some narrow paths or sharp corners. alternatively, got to change the tyres to some thicker ones which helps in the balancing.
so far, we have added lights, a new seat, a bike stand and a new (cheap) helmet! i saw one ivory pearl white helmet for over $100. was very tempted but decided against it. we’ll see how i get going on this new adventure.
