Happy Birthday to Me Part 3

No lah, I didn't buy any more presents for myself. Not that I am done; I just didn't have anything in particular to want to buy now. We still have about half a month more. Hoho.

I am however very happy that it was a long weekend. This basically means an opportunity for my 2nd quarter RI. I had wanted to do 1 RI per quarter and would choose to do it before a long weekend bcos I seriously needed the long weekend to recover. Daddy Lim wasn't keen. He hasn't cycled for months and I didn't want to kill him/ burst his lungs (again) with a RI. I went ahead to plan with the WWF folks and was hoping for good weather on Thursday evening. 

It all went well and this time, nobody tried calling me at 6pm and I managed to be on time for the 7pm meetup. It was a cosy ride with 8 of us, just nice in one train with the relaxed ruling. 

Whenever some cyclists said that it would be a chill ride, don't ever believe them. We were rolling at 30+kmh all the way past Mandai and to Sinopec. Zzzzz. 

Fortunately, the pace did slow down after the 1st leg. Then I coincidentally met Auntie SL at CV and then after TMCR. Both times she called out to me bcos I was already so tired that I don't know what is happening around me. Hoho.

Our very meitu-ed photo. Hoho.

It was about 1.30am when I finally reached home. Sleep was actually difficult. I was physically exhausted but I think the adrenaline was still pumping. Yay, my 2nd RI for 2022 done, 2 more to go. 

On Friday morning, I was up at 6ish, intending to tag along to ECP skatepark for the boys' lessons. It ended up pouring and it turned into a bfast ride. The good part was that I got to do another 2 hours nap before heading out to ECP again. 

Daddy Lim finally decided to join Zaky for the class. He said that he managed to learn and figure out how to jump up the ramp better. Before class, it seems like a ritual for all the students, regardless of age, to wait quietly on the grind bar, like little birds. Hoho. 

The day ended with the ceremonial cake cutting at home. 

I know I looked freaking tired right? I was from the lack of sleep and retired to my room at 8pm. Lil Shauna happily went to the Jurong Lake Garden with the Fs and Aiko. I was drifting in and out of sleep. Old already. 

Happy 25th birthday to me!
