This was supposed to be posted ytd, but my mom switched off internet and I ended up sleeping early.. OK, for those who read TY's version, it was accurate to a moderate extent. I post what ACTUALLY happened, as far as I can remember. I shall include description :D.. Helps my compo... XD XD... Okay, so here goes.... Crap.. SHud I do it story style or recount? Storecount bah.. HAHA!!
Ytd went cycling wif Glenn, WP, TY, and myself. Actually, I almost cancelled the cycling trip, cus of the overcast skies. In the end, I decided I shall go ahead wif our cycling plans.. TY and I cycled to Glenn's place first to meet up wif Glenn and WP. Den, we decided, or I did, to cycle to NYGH. No idea why, I just liked the houses there, looks so big and nice. Challenging also, cus of distance plus gradient. We had to climb not one, but two hills! And of course, I sarboed everyone to climb 2 more hills. 2 REALLI STEEP HILLS!! So, our great journey to the East started. We set off from BP at a breakneck pace, literal meaning, cus if u fall off at that speed ur gonna break ur neck. TY had trouble catching up and WP was lagging behind cus WP was "Sweeper", meaning hes the last man. Den me n glenn were like all the way in front. We went too far, realised they werent behind, den we stopped. We had already conquered our first hill and both of us were expecting TY to struggle. Countdown, 30 seconds to 1 min later, TY APPEARED!!! And TY was v happi to conquer that hill. We continued forward and WP warned TY of a second bigger hill. The second bigger hill came at around beauty world there. To me, it was smaller. Gradient smaller, but length of hill longer. However, to our great exhiliration, it was one immense downhill all the way to Adam's Park. So we just zoomed down and den we continued straight. Cycled some distance and came to this opening at Eton house. I told them turn in cus I wanna go c nice houses, and also betta to cycle in da prime estate than by the roadside. More scenery. So we cycled inside. Hehe, wad greeted us was a hill wif the gradient of 3? y=3x. XD XD, den TY was like SIAN!!! Den me n glenn chiong in front again.. Wah, muscles felt like they on fire. Den we reached the top and waited for them, den... THEY WERE NOWHERE TO BE SEEN!! In the end, we realised WP and TY went one big round and redezvous wif us, den I gave wrong directions and we cycled deeper into the estates. Who ask all the houses there to look so alike... Den we saw this realli big hill, and I thot maybe up there, so we cycled up. Well, not we, me n glenn. WP and TY had to wheel their bikes up. This hill.. Had a gradient of 5? It was so steep that a garbage truck cldnt climb it. It rolled downhill after progressing halfway, den me n glenn laughing at the top of da hill. After that, we realised we were in da middle of nowhere, so we decided to descend the hill. WOOHOO!! ANOTHER BIG DOWNHILL!!!! Den we appeared beside singapore telecoms -.-ll.. We overshot NYGH. So we just exited to the main road and cycled backwards to NYGH, where we rested awhile, den we went to Crown Plaza to have a drink. The Mac there arh.. V stingy, dun wan gif us full cup of coke.. EEyerr.. After drinking we decided to head home. It was already like 5 10. We were on the opposite side of da road, HCJC there. So we cycle cycle, and while outside HCJC, SOMETHING HAPPENED!! Ok lar, this is wad I realli wanna post abt, cus tis the firs time I had a LEG CRAMP!!
It went like this. Glenn was leader as usual, me second, TY third, WP sweeper. Den rite, I was like "relaxing" my foot on one pedal when suddenly something weird happened. An intense pain hit my leg and I realised I cld no longer bend that leg, which was my left leg. Naturally, I panicked. I never felt this kind of pain be4 and honestly, I thought I dislocated my knee. So I did a stop and hopped off my bike, no chance getting off, my leg was soooo stiff. Den TY just cycle past without saying anything. Thank goodness WP stopped and he asked me wads wrong.
WP: yo, why you stop?
Me: ****, I think I dislocated my knee...
WP: Diao, try to sit.
Me: ****, I cant, I cant bend my ******* knee.
WP: Try.
Me: Wa lao eh, why mus this kind of ******* thing happen to me....
WP: You need to sit down.
Me: I try. (Den realising I cldnt, I fell backwards on purpose, den sat up straight.) Oh yeah, wanna know wad happened to my knee? Bio 101, our knee is positioned in front of the shin, and our thighs are also in front of the shin, not literaly in front, as in the position is more outwards. Wad happened was, my muscle tensed, den pulled back, creating a bulge at my thigh there, towards my right. The left side muscle all gone, cus got pulled to the right. Den the knee was pulled IN by the muscle, so my knee thigh and shin were of the same position. The kind of pain I experienced is like when you put ur leg in a REALLI weird position, den u r in pain, and u cant do ANYTHING abt it, so I was in CONSTANT pain.
WP: Feel better?
Me: ****, its so ******* painful. **** man...
Aha, now comes the interesting part, at this juncture, two girls from HCJC walked out of the school gates. Den they saw me sitting on da ground and WP beside me so they walked over. I was like "shit, so pain.." (more groanings).
Girl#1: Er, excuse me, do you need help.
Me (to WP): ****, I think tmr I no need go school liao...
Girl#1 (louder): Excuse me, do you need help.
Me: (Change to cheerful disposition and laughing abit, cus I FELT SO SHY!!!): Er.. ya.. I need to call my mom. (Reach into pocket for my HP) ****, my ******* HP is wif GLenn, and hes all da way in front...
WP: I think it will take them awhile to realise we are not behind...
Me: **** man, lidat how to take MT paper tmr...
Then at his point of time, Girl #2 reached for her bag, unzipped it den looked inside. I was still talking to WP and cursing. Then Girl #2 look at Girl #1, den look at me giving me this weird weird look. At first I never thought of it as anything. Den... THE TWO GIRLS WALKED AWAY!! At that time I was SOOO pissed. I mean, they are SO HYPOCRITICAL, ask me if I need help, den walk away... Den I just aiya, nvm lar, anywaes the pain starting to subside, but I cld feel like someone clamping my knee. I never realli thought of it anymore. Den, GLENN CAME BACK!!! So me n WP told GLenn wad happened, den Glenn laughed and said she probably thought I was a scammer -.-.... DIAO!!!! WHAT THE HECK!! I FEEL SO INSULTED. One thing, I DUN LOOK LIKE A SCAMMER.. I was like stun there, then come to think of it, realli seems so.. But... First time someone think me scammer. Feel so sad... And pissed.... And insulted.... But cant realli blame her right? There the place so secluded, ppl cant see at all, there were hedges seperating us from main road and fence on the other side. And then, TY came back.. NVm, den glenn let me rest awhile more. Thanks Glenn, for being so considerate. Den when I felt my leg cramp subsiding, I cycled again. We cycled some distance, when my right leg started to cramp.. So Again, I hopped off and sat down in da middle of da pavement. Den.. Glenn and TY sped ahead again. WP again stopped to help me. I realli appreciate his help. Realli, he is like a Godsent gift to me. I am realli glad God made me meet a loyal and trusted friend like him. I am truly grateful for him and thankful. He stayed wif me until the pain subsided. Den, GLENN CAME!!! Haha.. Realli funnie. Den we cycled again. Den my cramps were like NO MORE!! So I was cycling happily, we were at Bukit Timah Hill already, all was fine, until TY FELL into a grass trap... Den to prevent me from running into him, I emergency stop. Emergency stop means leaning all my weight onto one leg to stop the bike. Note, my bike seat was so high I had to tip toe to reach the floor. So, LEG CRAMP!! Den TY neva care, just cycle on.. Left me n WP again.. Den this time, I never recovered. The pain persisted. Glenn came back, den after that left, cus he mus reach home by 7, and it was almost 7. I dun blame him, since it is already so amazing he was so patient. Den me n WP slowly wheeled our bikes back to BP. I decided to go to glenn house ask him keep my bike, cus I was reluctant to cycle liao. Leg muscle in no condition to cycle. Den while walking we crapped alot.. And we saw an accident, so I was like, Im thankful my accident not so bad... Den we were talking about alot of things, from gals to, well, songs. He asked me wad was my worst way to die, so I replied to be killed by Grace, and his best way to die was to be killed by michele, cus he said thats wad michele wants and he wants wad michele wants. I get his logic lar... But not me lor... Dieing nvm, but the heartache.. worst.... Unless she realli hate me so much den want kill me den I nth to say.. But I doubt so.. Nvm, den we started talking abt songs, and we were singing a few songs to pass the time. TO gif u a scope of the time we spent walking, TY and Glenn left us at abt 6 50, and we arrived at BP at 8 10. Do the math man.. We walked so long while pushing our bikes. We started cycling at abt 4. So we were out for a grand total of 4 hrs 10 mins. The ironical thing was cycling supposed to build muscle, but after that, my muscle felt drained and weak. This morn also, I almost cld not climb the stairs. I was like wobbling everytime I planted my weight onto one foot. Budden, walking along BKt Timah road in da nite v romantic, soft light and nice surroundings, minus the cars.. I wish I cld walk down that road wif Grace... But nvm... Its just wishful thinking. For me, walking wif WP down that road was a gr8 experience, pls dun think dirty, but I feel I got to know him and appreciate him as a friend better. I've never had a better friend.
For that day, I finally saw the importance of friends. I sincerely thank Glenn, Wen Pu, and Tay Yi. I thank Tay yi least cus he also did least, but at least provide company. I am also touched by Glenn's patience. He gives me the impression that he abandons people, so for that day, I am truly grateful to him for his patience, for helping me. Last but not least, I am indebted to Wen Pu. He has proven time and again he is one loyal and trustworthy friend. I dun care wad others say, but wen pu is a great guy. I am realli touched and thankful that he was with me all the way, through my difficulties. He even cheered me up in that depression. He provided help and adviced me on wad to do when the muscle cramp came. Without him, I think I wld have been so afraid and so alone.. Thanks alot Wen Pu.. You are indeed a veri veri veri good friend. Wad made me saw the importance of friends was another thing. In contrast to my friend's concern, my parents were not so concerned. My dad came to pick me up and in da car, he scolded me. He wasnt even concerned if it still hurted.. Reached home, my mom reprimanded me over dinner. She also never even asked if I still hurt. Den, she came to my room after doing the dishes, and scolded me for not taking A maths paper from glenn when I went to his house to keep my bike. I mean, at that time, all I thought of was it was so late and my gratitude for Glenn's patience, so all I thought of was to show him my appreciation to him for helping keep my bike and his patience. So I just talked to him awhile den went off. In this kind of condition, who in da mood to think of A math??? Certainly not me... Den I felt so hurt (Yes, although I seem cheerful and smiley and heck care, I am still human and I have feelings), and I just went to sleep early to shut off all the thoughts.
One lesson I learnt, I shud stop being so cheerful, I shud be more moody. People just take me for granted. Like those 2 girls. If I had not smiled and laughed uneasily, my not so acting act wld have paid off. And I wasnt even acting. If they were in my shoes they'd be crying. 3 yrs ago if this happened to me, or even two years ago I wld definitely be crying. Not now. I just looked at it in a comical way. Im lame!! Literaly lame! Not just figuratively lame anymore... True that I was fustrated, but who wldnt be?
