pedaling into 2014

we are going for a hotel stay for my 32 birthday !
i was thinking what else do i want for birthday?

a bicycle.

the problem is i dunno how to cycle!

had a bad accident 20+ years ago. i didnt know what is ‘danger’ !! hahaha, happily ride on neighbour’s bike to the edge of the staircase. first time, i managed to brake. second time, i managed to brake too.. at the bottom of the stairs with a big wound on my forehead.

jie ran away (she was scared when she saw blood) i ran to next door neighbour’s house and try to rinse away the blood ! the next thing i rem is sitting on a cab with mum, with towels pressed on forehead. the taxi driver was super stress when he saw all the blood. hahaha

den i rem lying on a cold steel bed, stitching. strangely, i dont remember the pain, i was too scare of ‘eat the cane’ den anything else. hehe

anyway, i decided to learn cycling ! pumpkin got me a bicycle and i had my first cycling lesson with him. we tried our best but i just couldnt find my balance on that few pieces of steel (or whatever material) structure.

*my fierce bike! we choose this bike coz the rest are too big for me !
there’s a smaller bike at the shop but comes w/o the basket.

my colleague actually gave me her cycling instructor contact. he seems like a nice uncle but hv to travel to his shop for cycling lesson. pumpkin goggled and found this www.terraoutdoors.com/

contacted the Suet Ling and we met at west coast park.
she came with a helmet and a correct-size (aka small) bicycle for me.

Lesson #1
– introduction of the bicycle
– pedaling
– balancing
– stop the bicycle

*after day 1

Met her again the following day.

Lesson #2
– safety check, always check the bicycle before you ride on it
– balancing
– start the bicycle

wah lau.. it seems so easy in writing. its not okie. we met at 11am on both days and it was super hot ! i was super nervous, lost my confident after countless falls. i didnt want to go for the second lesson. my body was aching like mad but pumpkin urge me to go ! i am so glad i did. so so glad… coz i can cycle now !!

just 2 days and i can ! *huge smile*

went for a spin on my bicycle, took awhile to get used to my own bicycle ! yay ! so happy !

adventure start to the new year !
