It was an outrageous attempt by 8 ESP year 2 students and a new ESP exchange student Mr Koji from Osaka University, whom embarked on a night cycling on Friday 3 July 2009. The checkpoints covered were East Coast Park (ECP), Bedok 85, Ang Mo kio, Upper Thomson, Little India, Esplanade, Kallang, back to ECP (Shown in the map). The route was guided by Jeffery Yu and Jian Hao. The total distance cover was approximately 53.18 km in about 8 hours from 10:30pm to 6:30 am. Being a first time for most of the students, it was consider taxing for some of them, but the determination drove them on to complete the night's programme.
At the first eating food centre, Bedok 85, ESP year 2 student Martin Ho joined them for a supper to replenish their energy. It was a gastronomical delight for all and an opportunity to introduce some of our local delicacies such as BBQ chickens, stingrays, satays and sugar cane juice, to Mr Koji. Mr Koji wasn't turned away by any of the food and finished them off.
Next checkpoint was at a food centre along Upper Thomson road, which is famous for its crispy prata. This time round,ESP year 2 student Boon Chin joined them for supper around 3am. Mr Koji felt very much energetic even after the long arduous ride (up and downhill), thanks to Jeffery who treated him to a glass of milo dinosaur drink ( a cup of milo with extra milo powder on it). Following on, the 9 night raiders headed down to the city to capture some of Singapore's landmark night sceneries at the Singapore Flyer and Esplanade before heading back to ECP hoping to catch the sun rise. Unfortunately the sky was cloudy when they reached their final destination.
Overall, it was a safe and adventurous night see-ing experiences for all and a good job in playing host to the exchange foreign student. Although it was tiring, but the experience and achievement is worthwhile.=D Credits also given to the fine weather which makes it happened!! Applauds for them!!!
