How suay can this be.. tyre punctured AGAIN!! within replacing it 3 days ago. Hopefully this time rd is just the inner tube burst. if everytime time change like that will be broke one leh.
Anyway, tyre punctured along the same stretched of road, coastal road, near the same spot last time. it's a dreadful 12km back push home.. so i was slowly pushing my bike. ( well.. i can't run cos i'm on cleats, bicycle shoes. if not i will just run home ).. that would take me more than 2hrs to push back.. so i just tried my luck and raise out my hand trying to hitch a ride, cars zoom by, lorry zoom by, even empty taxi zoom by not bothered to help. Thankfully, there was one kind soul, driving a lorry.. he stopped and asked me if I needed help. WOOT.. how lucky can.
In singapore, it's not that easy to hitch a ride, especially when you have a bicycle. I've hitched a few rides before, but this one is definitely the most appreciated one. and it's a small small world, the person who gave me a ride, he happens to stay opposite my block, and he's one of the part-time worker at the nearby coffee shop. lolx.. how qiao.. Anyway, his name is kenneth. he sounds like a very hardworking and humble person. definitely helpful as well..
I'm sure this will leave a deep impression on me.. and ppl, if you ever see ppl needing a ride, do so if you are not in a rush.. cos you won't know when you will need it someday.. it's a nice gesture anyway. a simple thing which makes a person's day. =)
