Night cycling

Looks like i have a bike
group of my own..
Whenever we go cycling,
it's always the same people.
Suraj, Farid and me..
Just last night, we went on
an adventurous trip around
choa chu kang..
All the dark places we went.
It wasn't my idea actually.
It was Suraj's.
The army detention barrack
was located so deep inside.
We decided to check it out.
As we were cycling up the
deserted road..we saw some
soldiers standing at the gate
and it was so silent..
Suraj thought they were
statues..and the instructors
were talking to the soldiers
quietly..
I bet they were up to something.
We u-turn to go to the big canal
and suraj showed us.
It was really huge and dark.
REALLY DARK, EERIE and DESERTED.
the only source of light was the moon
and i thought it was already bright.
We kept cycling down the pavement.
It was slippery and the feeling that
the water from the tyres hit our
legs, was unpleasant..
The light was dim and we could
hardly see whether it was canal
water or...or.. BLOOD!!??
You know what, we were really
lucky that Suraj led the way.
We were damn lucky that he
has light on his bike...
Just a few metres away, we saw a
signboard which read, "deep waters,
keep away, etc.."
It's a dead end.
If we hadn't stopped,
all of us would have fallen
off the STEEP slope and into
the deep waters.
We then saw buildings and colourful
lights at the other side.
We thought for quite some time.
Suraj then told us that that
place is Malaysia, Johore.
I was like..WHAT??
Malaysia? Near to Yew Tee?
And he kept convincing us.
We searched for networks on
our mobile phone..and there it was.
Malaysia operating reception:
Celcom, My Maxis, etc..
That was really Malaysia!!!
I was astonished..
Suraj took a big rock and threw
it into the waters..
The ripples spread really wide.
That means the depth is very
deep..
After that we headed back on course
and me and farid cycled
pretty fast back to Bukit Panjang.
Overall, it was really an adventurous
trip.. Hope we can go for the same trip
but more adventurous one some other time.
