A moment spent alone doing something i enjoyed
Last Saturday, I spent most of my day alone at home and also ventured to other places that evening practically on my own. I woke up that morning feeling very energetic because it’s finally the weekends! I could finally set my mind off school and relax. I had enough rest after a tiring day of training the day before. I planned to finish all of my homework as soon as possible so I could have all the time in the world to play! Like a lifeless robot, I went to work without a moment's delay. All the distractions around me in the house could not prevent me from finishing my work. urgh, there's so much homework I groaned.
Hours went by and before I know it, the house was empty. My parents had to attend a wedding ceremony and my siblings had gone out with their friends. It was half past two and my stomach kept on grumbling since I have not eaten anything except for a piece of bread which I consumed in the morning. After I had scrumptious meal, I had no mood to continue with my work. All I had in my mind was to log on to the computer and chat with my friends. I instantly logged into windows live messenger and chatted with my friends for hours. Eventually, I became bored and wanted to do something adventurous. I wanted to ride on my bicycle and explore interesting places that I have never visited before. I asked my friend who lives nearby to accompany me. He declined as he has tuition that evening. Feeling disappointed, I jumped onto my bed and lay there like a stone. Finally I made up my mind and got out of my house with my bicycle.
I cycled around the neighbourhood to warm myself up. My bicycle felt 'heavy' as the tyres was a bit deflated. I went to the nearest gas station to pump my tires which is pretty far. Along the way, there was a long stretch of pathway so I began practising to cycle without using my hands to control the bicycle. I reached my destination and pumped my tyres to the maximum. It felt really 'light' after pumping the tyres. I stopped to decide the next place to explore. I decided to explore Pasir Ris Park and went there using the shortest route available. When I reached there, there many people with their tents camped along the beach. There were spending their time with family and friends and they looked very joyful. I envied them since I spent the whole day on my own. Nevertheless, I kept on cycling. I came across the playground and immediately disembark my bicycle. I played on the giant spider web. It was really shaky at first when I tried to climb but I got the hang of it after a while. I managed to climb to the top and I enjoyed the marvellous view of the sea. It was really windy at the top and I suffered from vertigo. I had no choice but to descend. I also played on the swing. I had to kick the ground hard so that I swung higher as there was no one to push. After that I continued cycling along the coast and visited many interesting sites for example the swamp area and the maze. Soon, I became tired and decide to go home. It was not a bad day after all spending most of my time alone. It was really enjoyable and I planned to cycle somewhere else that is more interesting. I hope you've enjoyed reading this. See you soon!
