Just switched to the new blogger interface. Can't see what's so different about it.

After a two day break from the weather, I finally got to ride my bike today. It was a cool, cloudy, some may say gloomy-looking, day, but it was great! I love it when traffic is light and I can ride at whatever speed I want; though I wouldn't know how fast, with the speedo broke, and just enjoy the rolling views - I get the sort of light, blissful sense of happiness normally associated with falling in love. I have never regretted buying my bike. I rode past a secret spot, recently discovered with Wanxin and Nerine and I am again amazed at how a place like this can remain hidden away from most of Singapore, but I am also glad that it is.

Got an email this morning from NUS, regarding a job opening, but I am not going to say anymore of it, in case I jinx it. Riding along the winding country road, I remembered my promise to Silly Susan before I start work, and then other thoughts come in and then I begin to think maybe I should stop by the road to look at the people running their remote control buggies but I am too lazy. So I continue, past the mini-rubber plantation, the ancestral temples, past the houses with the swimming pools , over the railway tracks and then back out to typical everyday Singapore, where it felt as if I had just come out of a painting.
