Teh C

I had a pre-cycling session using Adam's unit (a bmx). After a disastrous and bore some day, I decided to take a quick exercise. It was 11.35pm, so I packed my wallet, handphone and handsfree, my ciggy and a torchlight into the mini bag Sasha gave for one of my birthdays. I am ill equipped with all the safety gadgets, so with my dark sweatshirt and a black cap, off I started cycling.

I decided to cycle to Teh C just to determine my endurance capability and also to check out the route. The journey from home to the monsoon drain well street lighted, but once I reached the school, it was dark. Had to turn on my torchy (sorry, cat eye x beli lagi) till the main road. Crossing the main road was okay, considering it was a Friday night. My breathing up to the point was good.

Reaching to the Giant's cross road, the journey took a long straight flat road. It was the first test on the bike. To cycle a BMX on a flat road requires good techniques and stamina. I do not possess any. This was where my right tights began to sore. With fatigue began to take its toll, I reached upon the Neon junction. The road ahead was in darkness.

My second test was about to loom. The road is well known for wild street dogs. As I recite Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, I paddled through the road. Thank goodness no dogs was around. I reached Teh C at about midnight. Everyone was looking at me. To hell with others, as long as I am happy with it, I could not care less. Grabbed myself a water, lighted up a ciggy, I rest. Friends were not around to the moment, maybe futsal was still on.

I have decided to rest for only half hour. So, after settling the bill, it was time to go home. The watch clocked 12.39 am. "Good, lets see how long will it take to paddle back" I said to myself.

I took the same path as before. I paddled up to Rio de Futsal, but unlucky me, the road was jammed with DOGS!! Made a U turn to one of the lighted guard house, and I stayed there for a good couple of minutes. "Lu gi ambil jalan lain lah, pusing kiri kat bulatan" the guard suggested. Okay, let me take that road. Haha... the roundabout was throned by a German Sherperd. Suddenly my legs paddled faster than before. Lucky me, it was not bothered to even look at me.

The route began to ease. Did you know that there's a big field situated there? It is equipped with a futsal court as well. The wonders of cycling, scenaries are better appreciated. I had a wonderful trip back. I even smiled to one of the leng lois while she was waiting at the bus stop opposite Summit. She did not respond, pfftt!!

Overall, it was what I wanted. To be able to commute further than walking, to sweat out my anger and boredom, and to feel satisfied with what I have always wanted. My legs has already reached its limit, but my passion for cycling grew stronger. I think I can do this, and I know I want to do it. I reached home at 12.59am.
