Singapore rides

[scubasimon]

yeah, its fun to ride around singapore...in the early mornings, mid-afternoons, at night, late night...anytime is fun if you find the right place. next one will be coming up soon when i get my camera back from my friend who borrowed it...then again...we can always ride without my camera...maybe good idea to use my phone cam.

phone cam will be severely limited for night shots...but day shots can still hack it pretty well. so far, i gotta say the n-series camera beats all others in the nokia line. e-series camera is quite bad cos its a biz oriented phone. i heard sonyericsson has good cameras but haven't really tried myself.

 

ok. will go post a new route for next ride!

[rodman74]

You are right bro! sony erricsson C905 takes quite good picture.

I use to ride around in Singapore alone in my scooter on my off days.

Each time when I see interesting thing, I'll stop my bike aside & take a picture using my C905.

i'm thinking of doing an early morning ride...don't ask why hor...so if you are interested to ride early sunday morning (as in...30 aug, 5am start) ending with a sunrise (hopefully), please let me know. will put out a route later tonight.

[scubasimon]

OK. Here's a route I came up with for Sunday morning. You can see it on Google Maps. We will go as long as there are 2 persons riding. I will only attempt this alone during daylight hours because there are many non-traditional roads that we will be riding on. Its about 70km long so we'll meet up at a stretch of petrol stations along Upper Thomson Road and head off from there.

 

Date: 30 August 2009 (Sunday)

Time: 5am meetup, will have to leave on time to catch sunrise.

 

With this route, we will catch the sunrise on top of Bt Timah. Note that I've not tried this before so we may not be able to see the sunrise. But will be a fun ride still.

nope.the camp there do catch monkey to one of the sectors which keep all those stray animals i think.and tis also prevent more monkeys to coming into the camp.

[scubasimon]

i ride at old upper thomson road a lot and there are tons of monkeys there. best thing is to leave them alone and they will leave you alone. don't be garang and try to catch them or knock them lah...after all, they also wanna live, right?

well i believe theres some misunderstanding.the catching of monkey is nt done by us.is done by those commanders setting up monkey traps at tis place call soa.i believe bro rodman see before since he is also ammo trained.dn say until like i go disturb them leh lol
