16 Aug 08 Night Cycling

Set off on the park connector and covered a distance of about 40km from East coast park - Selegie- Bedok - Tampines - Pasir Ris - Loyang - Changi - East coast park...

First time tried cycling long distance instead of running.. Much more comfortable though my hands were a bit numb near the end of the journey. The last 8km (which we thought) along the coastal park connector was monotonous as it was a gruelling straight road with no slopes at all.. (We all unanimously enjoyed the breeze when cycling downslope)

Our last stop was the coastal park connector, a 8km ride back to east coast park from Changi. However we did not factor in that there was at least another 5km to cycle back from the extreme end of ECP back to the bicycle shop...

Route maps for park connector... I must say that the route is pretty clear. Well done!

Ed caught this stitch for me for those toy catching machine... Love both of them. Very sweet of him...

Group photo before the ride... Set off at 945pm....

Our first park connector... and we are pretty in much for a surprise soon....

Faint.!!!!! Staircase... Luckily, I managed to see that there is an edge for us to push up the bicycle.. BUT.... I still dont have strength so the guys helped me out. Thanks!

I am only acting to push the bike up for photo taking purposes only..

Second park connector... Another group photo...

Another one more to go.. Still keeping wide awake. About 12 midnight...

Posing for a photo at Bedok Reservoir park near the fish catching area... Very peaceful and cooling...

Me posing one last photo at Bedok Reservoir park before heading off to Loyang. Nothing much along the way...

A snap to show we are reaching Tampines... Passed by Tampines Mall.. Then head to pasir ris and reached downtown east..

Resting point.. hAd supper at Mac before continuing our journey...The ride along Changi was a bit creepy... Not advisable to do it alone... I did not know that the Changi exhibition center is along a private road and closed... (Ed and I were there for the last year real run. Pretty nice place. Unlike typical singapore with tall skyscrapers)

Our last 8km.. This was all that we saw along the way.. A never ending straight route....

Tada... We finally reached back ECP at about 5am. Ed and I had a sumptuous breakfast.

What about the other 2.... There they are.. Too tired to eat... A fun trip with you all! Will love to do it soon. Maybe make it a monthly event???

Eclipse???

Ed and I woke up at 5am on Saturday 16 Aug 2008 to catch the red moon at my house...

But we are not too sure if it is really it..

Can you see the middle one, which is the moon is red in colur??? Excited...

The other 2 yellow colour is actually the street lamps... The photo turns out pretty interesting right...Worthwhile forsaking my sleep...

29 Jul 08 Garden Festival

Went with Ed after work (actually I was on training, so got to end early) to the Garden Festival... Wow! It is so pretty.. A must see.. Will definitely go to the next one in 2010.. Love it.. Keep on snapping photos along the way.

Some of the displays along the way. We spend about 2 hours plus covering the attractions. It is basically a display from different countries and each display is ranked with either bronze, silver or gold!!! The lighting over there is fantastic and I felt entertained throughout... Cost only $6 for weekdays and $12 for weekends... Luckily we managed to avoid the crowd as it was a weekday.
