Botanical Gardens

Cycled to the Botanical Gardens earlier in the morning. I wanted to go to a Garden enviroment to do some reading of books and other stuff, hence the destination. The route that I took to get there was filled with many crazy upslope roads that by the time I actually got the Gardens, my thigh muscles were aching severely.

I walked around the Gardens for a while before I managed to find a bench with a good shade. It was facing the Symphony Lake I think. Took my book and some Tanglin Halt camp materials that I got from my sister a few days ago, and just sat there and started reading and examining them. After I was done with the both of them, I continued walking around the Garden. I never knew that the Garden was that big; I always thought that it just the size of any other typical park in Singapore, but I was dead wrong.

Anyway, as I was about to leave the Botanical Gardens, I saw a sign describing the "Dos and Don'ts" of the Garden, and to my surprise saw the part which says "no bikes, no cycling aorund the Gardens"!! No wonder there were a few people who looked slightly puzzled when I brought my bike into the Gardens.

Now, as I was cycling I was experiencing unusual bumps on my bike, even when I was cycling on the smooth paths. I stopped to examine, and to my horror I realised that back tire of the bicycle had deflated to the point whereby the metal rim was touching the ground. Talk about the worse thing to happen to a person who was cycling, especially when you were cycling in a area no where near your house! The result? I ended up walking a huge distance ( from Clementi to Pandan) back home while guiding my bike with my hands. I'm gonna change my back tire, probably in the nex t few days.

Tokyo Police Club!! Tokyo Police Club is a Canadian indie rock band from Newmarket, Ontario. They are another great band to listen to, so for those who had not heard of them, go check them out already!! :o)
