sunday ride

You know what is more dangerous than cycling on Nicole Highway at night? It's the homeward bound ride from Changi along East Coast Parkway on a Sunday afternoon. Those kids are dangerous. They dashed across the road with their kite chasing behind them in mid air, cycle in the opposite direction on the wrong lane et cetera .. Imagine having to duck the kids, then their kites and then kiddy mobiles oncoming traffic. These crazy kids have no qualms about letting you brake abruptly and risk getting physical injuries while trying to save their little butts from being knocked over by you. And darn their ultimate weapons.Their angelic faces make you do a double take about being angry with them and their parents. Their innocent blank stares makes you wonder if you should still be riding at that speed at this age. After you successfully peeled your eyes from their toothy smiles you find yourself looking at the angry parents behind them. They stretched out a protective arm to shield their poor victimized babies. Their shaking heads pour guilt into you until tears almost flowed out of your eyes. You can only alternate your glances between the children's faces and their parents for so long before tucking your tail between your legs and paddle away.

oh how they trumped me..

p.s. before you guys think i bully kids. the above didn't happened. i just find it more interesting to type out my opinions as narrative..
