tired, gloomy but too tired to care

yay! back from nite cycling which wasn't exactly tiring since it was orchard and back. hmmm..not the distance but the waitin and standin ard that tires me. not very the eventful, only that stan's left pedal came out, my seat is rattlin, angeline had a slight accident and some trippin and falling summarises the events.
nice route we chose, from church there were 11 and by the first stop, there were 9 left. heh they were james, angeline, johan, mingzhi, myself, a-drain, lisa, tim, stanley (welcome back!), eric and walther (last 2 'eliminated' haha--no, they weren't joinin us) so from church we went to west coast then cross the pedestrian bridge to faber then down alongside the canal all the way to ulu pandan and then following the canal all the way to ghim moh, where along the way i met and talked with a guy who cycles like no one's business. (90 km in 6 hours ard the island--hmm must try it someday)
then onwards to holland village then up up up past botanical gardens where angeline had her fall. (looked backwards then lost control of bike--actually she's tryin to kiss the floor :P just kiddin!! she's gonna kick my ass when she sees this) i think some where along the way stan actually started to lose his left pedal heh (not with their grp--couldn't see). then onto to tanglin who although had a nice display decided to switch off their lights early then onto orchard where we met phoebe.
next stop was paragorn who had their lights on so we could take pictures although the rest of orchard road's lights went off at midnight sharp. (disappointment -- i conclude, lights use electricity, electricity cost money and thus orchard road must be runnin out of money so they switch off early) after much standing ard and posing by the various grps to take pics
then next stop which was our target, swensens where i think we got cheated payin for a GIANT earthquake which looked like a regular one -___- i swore i've seen bigger! *grumbles* but still lime sherbert, mint, chewy sticky (oh was it sticky chewy?), mocha, strawberry, orange sherbert and cookies & cream were still nice. (though not when their mixed together)
then we had a grand plan to go to al ahzar for breakfast heheh but decided to play by ear, so after sendin phoebe to her apartment at lucky plaza then cycled fast and back to our original route and stopped at the esso there again. (my seat sounds like a bag of bolts--ugh). hit the ghim moh side canal first and all the way back to ulu pandan without much incident heh then change of plans and went to fong seng instead. (no i wouldn't wanna go up clementi road in my condition), and stan's pedal came out heh (time to get a new bike stan) so the fellowship was broken :P
ate mutton cheese murtabak *roxors* and then after all was done we headed back home. anyway i'm back home now and gonna hit the shower then the sack. super tired now.

and if you realised i made no mention of gloominess but rest assured i know i'm stupid but i'm not blind and not deaf and neither do i wish to dwell on it. so nites or rather morning for the 2nd day/nite in a row
