I slept at 3 plus last night and woke up at 9am this morning just to go cycling with a friend. I didn't regret blasting the alarm this morning =)
It was wonderful. The air was cool and refreshing and it had the smell of the sea. We cycled to this canal near our house at Sembawang. I checked the map before and it was called the Sembawang River. Well, the government did a good job in making it look like a river. Hahaha. It had rocky banks and some parts were remade into some sort of mangrove thing full of plants and stuff. Seriously it was nice. I don't believe after living in Sembawang for so many years I didn't realise how beautiful this place was. Maybe because it was pretty-fied just recently. Wheee! It was damn peaceful there lah, away from busy roads and robotic people.
We cycled to this section of the river bank and sat on the rocks looking at the water, talked and smelled the fresh morning air. I swear there is something swimming in the water. I was half hoping that a crocodile's head will pop out of the water and charge out at us and I'll be the hero by stubbing my lighted ciggarette in one of its nostrils causing it to die from excessive passive ciggarette smoke. Then my face will appear in tomorrow's news with the headline of "BOY KILLS CROCODILE THANKS TO CIGGARETTE". My parents will then have second thoughts of me smoking. Heee. Well, that didnt happen and we soon started polluting the air with our ciggarette smoke. Hehe. The air was so cooling and the place so serenely peaceful I swear I could just lie down, sleep, and die peacefully with a smile on my face. HAHA!
Then something really exciting did happened. We suddenly heard this HUGE explosion. I thought I'd really die. It shocked the hell out of me. There was this early morning jogger with his earphones on and he heard the explosion too. And I could hear the music blasting from his earpiece; that was how loud the explosion was. I also bet the squabbling family from the HDB flat heard it because they went quiet.
On the other side of the river are factories which stretched all the way to the shipyard. So we took our bikes and cycled to where the explosion came from. We saw black smoke billowing from the shipyard area. At that point of time I didn't know whether to say "oh no... or OMG SUPER COOL!" so I stuck with "wah liao..."
After gawking at the smoke rising into the grey sky we turned around as it started to drizzle (yes we didn't do anything to report the explosion =/). Then I realised how far we've cycled. Damn tired lah my legs because we cycled super fast to the shipyard area. So fast, it will make your mother say "oh momma!" Then we had to cycle super fast again to avoid getting caught in the rain. I don't wanna be sick before MUSE.
Reached back home around 12 with jelly feet and an empty stomach. I hope something about the explosion will come out in the news tonight. Yes I'm going to watch the news. Listening to Incubus right now. Wanted to go back to sleep but I can't! Irritating ok. But yeay Incubus fucking rock my socks.
Going out again later. Argh... when am I going to start studying!
Don't get me wrong.. I LOVE school.. except for the studying part.
Lab tests and quizzes next week. URGH
