i'm back and sorry to disappoint well alive. heres an excerpt from the spf website regarding my thoughts on the trip:

Lennard Ong

"The beauty of selective memory? It elevates terrible experiences to an intangible level. Ideals like determination, heroism and the indominable human spirit freely roll off the tongue. Truth is, the act cycling the 1000-odd journey felt, at times, like hell on earth and the only thing that kept me going was the promise of a good night’s rest and a decent meal. Nevermind the bollocks.

But now its over, it all feels like the pain and suffering on the saddle happened to someone else, and maybe that’s not half wrong, because I sincerely believe that the six of us came out of this journey changed.

Personally, it found it refreshing, being able to cycle for hours on end without having to stop at traffic lights or worry about cars. The actual act of cycling takes full focus. I love cycling – it’s beautiful. It makes me feel infinite, almost like a sunbeam.

My feelings? Predictably, I’m happy. "

points to note:

1) i got the word bollocks printed on the spf website!
2) nevermind the bollocks: sex pistol album.
3) makes me feel infinite: perks of being a wallflower
4) forgot to add: i kept thinking of banana pancakes while cycling.

ta ta, farewell,, au revoir!!! i'm off for my adventure!

*note to self: play chess in park

leaving this saturday, and things are in a tizzy, busy busy doing this doing that tying up loose ends.

i can't wait to go on the road. In singapore you can't cycle for more than 30 mins before hitting a traffic light. if you think about it, with the ongoing tour de france right now, we'll be cycling at the same time (roughly) the greats lance, basso and ulrich are.

with such a strong start lance looks like he's got the tour in the bag. tour de lance.

aye hai sigh. griffith and sabine. are. on. hiatus. fuck it fuck it fuck it.

you know what heat sez? "if you can't in 10 secs turn your back on anything then you're not truely free" or some nonsense like that. caged man caged. caught up caught in.
