Naomi, Organiser:

Organizing the Cycling Trip to Pasir Ris Park was not much of a hassle. At first I was kinda nervous because I never liked organizing events or sort as I felt I am not good at it. It is actually quite simple eventually. Just need to decide on a location, then consider the timing as well because it can be quite hot.

Of course, there are those whom we met for the first time. We chatted for a bit then headed to Pasir Ris Park from Pasir Ris Interchange. So we started cycling when we reach there. There were a few fast cyclists, and the rest were average cyclists. But one of the fast ones cycled so fast, she almost crashed with other people. Hence, we named her ROADHAZARD CANDICE. So we, the fast ones, decided to go slow with the rest and had a fun time chatting while cycling too.

After that, a few left while the rest had dinner and continued chatting. Overall, it was a FUN and FRUITFUL day where we gained more knowledge about one another and had LOTS OF FUN!!

By joining RBKD, there certainly will be A LOT OF FUN (even if you’re more of a shy person)!! :)

The cycling IPC was the first activity I went to. At that time, I only knew one of the members. I took a long time to decide if I should attend that activity. When I reached Pasir Ris Mrt, I saw people gathering in groups. I was very worried. I was worried that people would ignore me and I would have to cycle all alone with my friend.

After around 10minutes, more people arrived and they greeted each other warmly and we went to MacDonalds to wait for someone. I thought that it would be very boring. However upon sitting down, someone talked to me. I felt very happy. After awhile, we joined everyone and started talking.

In the park, we cycled and someone got injured. Everyone was like helping her and I felt that RBKD is a very friendly fanclub and the members care for each other. Someone even said:”we came together and we shall leave together.” Upon hearing it, I knew that I did not join the wrong fanclub (:

After cycling, we went to Whitesands to have our dinner. The members shared a lot of things with me. From rui en to studies and to what they do in school. I crapped a lot too. In my whole life, I have never crap so much to people who I just met for 1 day before.

All in all, RBKD people are really friendly and I would not feel left out when I am hanging out with them.

The cycling IPC was the first IPC that i had attended. I had thought for a lot of times if i want to go for the IPC as I did not know how to ride a bicycle. I also did not know many in the club. I finally decided to go but I was still quite hesitant on the bike. Still, I rode one eventually. It was all right for me at first till I lost control of the bike at one point and fell. But I know I could continue and with some help from Lionel, I managed to go on.

A few near accidents almost happen and the one finally came. I had to make a huge turn and I totally lost control and fell, injuring my wrist. The rest were very helpful and help me up and went back to the bicycle shop with me. Soon i left as my dad wanted me to go home and rest. After seeing a doctor, it was just a bad sprain on my old injury.

On a whole the IPC was fun and enjoyable but it also make me know that I should never ride a bicycle again :)
