ride interrupted

funny how some of your friends can spot you a mile off. ok so maybe in my case it's not that difficult. anyhow, seng saw me whizz by the office while sending the woman home, and dropped me a text message asking me to drop by the office.

so i get there, and spend a good half an hour printing up pictures for the wall, after which we decided to go for a short ride and a quick coffee.

old thomson road seemed like a good candidate on the way to prata point, with trees on either side and the canopy of trees blocking out most of the sky, the mild twists and turns (which we didn't speed through thank you very much) on the wet streets felt like a nice change from the monotonous highways that criss cross singapore. we just get into the swing of things when flashing lights catch our attention, the blue and red hues some cause for consternation. policemen walk up and tell us to go back the way we came.

road blocked due to fallen tree. just our luck.



been pretty lazy about shooting recently, and decided to do something about it. not that the policemen were amused with my getting off the bike and whipping out my little point and shoot, but they relaxed a bit after a touch of friendly banter, even going so far as to suggest some areas for fun riding.

in encounters with the blue and red, it's always nice to emerge without a ticket. amen!
