I have been unjustly accused of being Outdated.
I bloody well resent that.
Because I have been busy. Wa hahahahaha.

Let’s see. Last week was the lovely 3 day holiday. We saw fireworks from our house. I conveniently forgot that I had to write a lian-bi on the NDP and didn’t watch it. Finally did the lian-bi, much to the horror of my friends. Then on Tuesday, XL Adel and me went to East Coast Park to cycle. The night before I had specifically told XL to wear PANTS as she wasn’t a good cyclist and pants protect one from really serious injury if one falls. She forgot!!!
Came the next day wearing white shorts. White. I ask you. On a bike that’s greasy and scratchy and dirty and one wears white. She and Adel were treated or forced into an impromptu lunch from my dad. It was scary but still quite funny. Adel provided the free entertainment for everyone. Sherilyn has openly declared Adel an idiot. Joscelyn just remarked that they all were weirdoes.
So dad drove us to East Coast Park and dumped us all there and we happily got to our bikes and Adel started off while me and XL were left behind.
Oh yeah. As some people know, when one gets the bikes, one has to register with an ID. Since XL and Adel both don’t have an Identity Card yet and I stupidly brought mine along as it had always been in my wallet, both parties grinned at me in that way and I had to surrender my Card. Evil scums.
I wore black and had cargo pants. I felt like Zhen and Kyou. Zhen from W Juliet, and Kyou from Fruits Basket. Haha ‘cos they both usually wear the same cargo pants as I was wearing then. When Zhen is in his male disguise! XL don’t think so far away! Hahaha…
Taught XL the basics while Adel cycled away like nobody’s business. Adel then went on saying that she learnt to cycle in 2 hours while I learnt in a couple of weeks. At least I can remember how to balance and cycle well within a few seconds of getting the bike. Adel stood there and went, ‘How arh, I forgot how to cycle!’

Naturally, I bished her.

So she cycled off while I taught XL. After some times, she finally got it and I told her to treat herself hahahahaha… she learnt in like half the time Adel did too! –is very happy-
We found a lovely slope that I ‘wheeeeeed’ down while XL was behind ‘cos she said it was okay to go ahead as before the slope was this looooooooonnngg straight road. I ‘wheeed’ down then saw Adel ‘aaaaaaaaaaahhhing’ her way down before jam-braking right in the middle of the slope. Stupid girl. She could have catapulted over her bike and its goodbye to Adel’s brilliant brains. So I went back up to see XL standing over a fallen bike. Rushed over, pulled the bike out and then told her about the slope, saying that she can go down easy if she wanted to. She did and loved the slope. Adel went the slope for a second time and ‘aaaaaaaaaaahed' down it again.
So then all went well for a while. A while being like a good half an hour. Then while we were cycling over this nice stretch of road, where I was in front, XL was behind me and Adel was right at the back. I wasn’t cycling too fast, scared that XL couldn’t keep up. I kept glancing back and THEN!! I glanced back and saw XL crumple very neatly into a bush. Shrieking out ‘OH MY GOD XL’ reversed, cycled over to find a bemused XL sitting on the track. She had mild scratches over her and I helped her up just as Adel cycled over. She said that she was looking at XL who ‘suddenly disappeared’ around a bend. XL took a band-aid from Adel to cover this really horrid looking knee injury and then we told Adel to cycle along as she was a case of yue4 bang1 yue4 mang2. we then found out XL’s bike was an evil little blighter that the chain had come loose. Spent a grueling few minutes trying to put the bloodylittleevillydemo- okay. Stupid chain back onto the gears. Put it back, switched bikes with XL just as Adeline came back. We then went about, where we found a 7-11 and slurped down the nice Slurpies while resting. We then decided to cycle again where I had this attack of the Evil Norbert and decided to chase down this bunch of annoying guys that whizzed past us like there’s no tomorrow.
That reminds me. We had lots of attention, dear ole XL being this lovely chio-looking girl and who doesn’t know how to cycle as well. At the beginning this guy answered XL’s rhetorical question as he whizzed past us on his oh-so-fast skates. Then this other guy stuck his tongue out at her as he passed her as she cycled sloooowly down the track. XL swears to kill him. Go XL!!
Then as we went down this little no-one-went-to path, this bunch of Indian guys lounging around saw XL attempting to cycle with me teaching her and cheered her on with a ‘You can do it!’
Basically, me being the little annoying scum that I am, growled at every single one of them bloodylittlewartyidiotswhothinkthat--- okay.
So I whizzed past XL and Adeline and then stopped after a while. I turned back and….
XL AND ADELINE WERE MISSING!!!
I went back a little, got really confused and called Adeline. She told me to go back to the 7-11 as it was going to be the time when we had to return the bikes. So I zoomed all the way to the 7-11 and then….. I HAD to bang into this little boy.
Hey wasn’t my fault.. .he wasn’t looking where he was going and I was shouting at him and ringing the bloody bell before I finally gave up on his hearing system and swerved to the right, braking at the same time. Braked too slowly, banged right into the boy’s bike. Being some really young kid he started crying while I winced about on my painful knee, asking the dear boy whether he was okay or not.
'Oh my God, are you alright?’
‘Stop crying, it’s okay, there’s no injury right? Never mind he’s just shocked.’ <-- Boy’s mom.
‘Waaaaaa….’
‘Okay okay tell me… where does it hurt…?’ Mom.
‘-Sniffle- My finger……’ Boy.
I visibly twitched at that sentence. That boy had a bruised finger while I had a bruised knee!!! Now it’s this beeg ‘orh ce’ all purpley and big. And it hurts. His mother told me that she din’t blame me and scolded the boy too… he really wasn’t looking because his back was to me as I zoomed towards him.
Then I went on and saw XL and Adel reaching the 7-11. had this mini argument with Adel on who was further away. I argued that since they reached there first, I was obvious that I was further away from the 7-11. Buuut anyway got scolded. So yeah. Whatever.
Returned the bikes. Spent some time on the beach before going to KFC and eating the cheese fries. Then went home a happy and bubbly girl.
WA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA…….
This is a post about Tuesday. Everything else will die.
