Ubin lover

Brief update: It has been quite some time I have not taken bus rides in KL especially ever since I moved house. I hopped onto a bus just yesterday to meet my old kawans for dinner at Chilli's. I spent 45 minutes waiting at the bus stop with an old lady. I will say, Malaysia's public transport may have improved a little. For 45 minutes, at least 3 buses passed by. However, only one bus stopped to pick us up. The other two buses left us gasping for the word f*ck when they just couldn't be bothered to stop for the two of us.

Backspace a lil, it was so nice to get a break from work [at last] on Deepavali Day. Nevertheless, I still exhausted myself by being on wheels for 12 hours that very day. I spent 2 hours travelling to Ubin island, cycled for 8 hours on that island, another 2 hours to go home. Bloggie, you must be thinking I have gone nuts, cycling for freaking 8 hours on a holiday!

Well, I have always loved cycling since young. In fact, I cycled everywhere around KK when I was little. I always have this thought of being free as a bird whenever I cycle. Weird, no? Whilst cycling in Ubin, I was reminded of my childhood, that's the reason I kinda forgot the pain in my arse even when it is pushed to the limits. As sick as it sounds, the pain was satisfying and very addictive.

Not to mention, I was knocked by a pick-up once whilst cycling when I was only 8. The funny thing was, at that very moment, all my mum could hear was the loud commotion and she thought she lost her only daughter till she heard a faint shriek.

Anyway, those who plan to visit Singapore one day, I will certainly recommend Ubin [for those who know how to cycle]. Get yourself ready for the dirt paths and amazing downhill slopes!
