Fulfilling dreams and wishes

Dreams coming true can mean different things on different occasions.

Firstly, I got to cycle outside of Singapore on my own bike, for a distance I could not have been able to cover in Singapore.

Secondly, my back wheel burst on the first day of the trip, as it was played out in my dream. I was very lucky that it happened while we were cycling through a town (Sungei Rengit) where there was a bicycle shop. The guys did not carry tire tubes that could fit my tire size, so they might pinch again. So at the shop, I managed to get a suitable tube replacement there. The puncture not only lost me a tube, I also broke a tire lever. Another lucky thing was that I need not stay on the lorry with Wesley whose tube could not be patched, and did not use the spare tubes available. The instant patch I offered leaked again, the breakage was simply too big to fix I guess.

The nightmare never recurred, and the experience taught me how to change the tubes on my own.

ODAC was one of the clubs I wanted to join for their activities but did not have time to do so till now. WSC and Hall activities stole my 1st and 2nd year. Looks like after this trip, I might shift my activites outdoors from year3 onwards.
