Ride of a life-time

I met up with Elwyn yesterday. We knew each other for years, and I never ever want to take his sports bike whenever we meet. But, yesterday I took his sports bike. He was pretty surprised too.

Look at him. *That black figure across the road* He's trying to retrieve the helmet that flew off my head when he went at a speed of 130 up the expressway near rochor. I couldn't ask him to slow down as the wind practically stopped me from talking. It's only till I manage to speak that I saw that he's travelling at 130. I think we went faster than that beforehand. At the end I got off and he made a U-turn to pick the helmet up. It's extremely amusing.

Finally we reached our destination. Some ferry terminal at marina.

Looks like a ghost ship right? It's actually a restaurant.

Here's another shot taken from above.

The place where we went has a walkway with blue lights on the floor. Very romantic! Actually, they have a patch of grass that are meant for people to lie on to watch the stars. It was too wet yesterday so we didn't sit on the grass.

They have a small bar and cosy seats there too. It's so blue but yet creates the right atmosphere for couples*definitely not us, he's attached*. We didn't go to the bar. We sat at a bench which overlooks the jetty.

It was a good met up where I get to catch up with him. Talked quite a far bit about life, religion, career, relationships, love, friends etc...Through the conversations, I began to understand myself a little better and how I can move on to reach another stage of life.

He mentioned that I am probably a gal who would fall for a guy's sweet nothings. I think I did before but now I won't already. The guy needs to possess a good character and be spiritually matured.

I had a thrill ride on his bike along bends especially on my way back. He did it on purpose and it caused my heart to almost jumped out. He definitely went very fast and I couldn't see the speed as it was just like a moment that went by so fast that I couldn't even take a grip of what happened but only felt that I'm falling close to the ground when he took bends upon bends.

Upon reaching Bedok, I tried gripping the accelerator but I went too fast. Guess, it's just I'm not too used to it.

Actually I took my Hann's bike and Mui Teck's bike when I was in Uni. Theirs were just road bikes and they don't go that fast.

Well, that's what he says: A ride of a life-time....

coz i probably won't take his bike again..Not that I don't trust his skills but I don't trust my balancing skills.

A great experience and I really thank God for journey mercy. :)

That place is really an ideal place for a wedding. Maybe it would be a place I want to hold mine in the future. :)
