This has to be the longest street sign in Singapore.
It has not one but TWO street names on it! And I live on one of them! It's a 5 minute walk from Temasek Secondary School, so to my former students, have fun trying to find where I live. Tanah Merah Kechil Road SOUTH, used to be called Tanah Merah Kechil Road, it was that way when I moved in 10 years ago. Interestingly, or ironically, Tanah Merah Kechil Road still exists; its none other than the slope leading up to Anglican High.
Talking about the "dreaded" slope, here's a picture of my new bicycle which I will use to get to school.
Been taking it through it's paces the last few days. I bought in on Monday, and on Monday night I decided to cycle to AHS. The slope ISN'T THAT BAD AT ALL!!! But it will induce about 30 seconds of torture, not funny when you are lugging along a 5kg crumpler and wearing semi-formal attire. Will be getting off the bike and pushing it up the slope. Surprisingly, my legs weren't aching when I woke up.
On Tuesday, I cycled around the estate and once again my legs weren't aching when I woke up. But today I took a ride to East Coast Park on a long 15km ride and now my legs are aching and my butt really hurts (thanks to the seat and not anything else, don't get the wrong idea!). Good exercise, will attempt to wake up early to do something similar.
East Coast Park really looks different. The last time I went up and down the length of the Park was about one and a half years ago, and it was captured in this post. Here's a shot of the cable ski lagoon versus a similar shot that I took 1.5 years ago. Shows how much hand-phone cameras have progressed as well!
