The End that was just the Beginning (24:20:22)
Sunday, March 9, 2008

It is Done! Not really... It is only the Beginning!
Friday, March 7, 2008
As we wind down the (first of a series of?) 24hr challenge... Many thoughts I'm sure have ran through your minds as well as ours...
What started as a simple: has become a journey, where even with words to describe it with, are now are beyond my ken, at least in the sleep-deprived, endorphin suffused state... We can only acknowledge as many of the supporters as we can before we KO. (and pedal onwards!) =p
So here it is, to our dear friends, supporters & donors!
The bud of the boss Why is jb running away from the pretty lady??? =p Benedict soliciting???(...donations! of course... kekeke ) Taran's too fast even for the camera! woot! (her friend obliges with a smile though!)
Lester & jb looking for inspiration... Ah... And look at their faces now! Inspired not? =p
Look who's here! Celine & Hailing!Eh? Double take? Manchi cameos... Jinx gets a thumbs up from Jasmine While Sarah becomes camera shy!
Thirsty? Not thirsty...? =p Remember to feed Charles okie, Debbie! Cassandra still sprightly after her shift...
With endorsements such as these:... It is no wonder this Lady (along with us, the 14 riders that make up the team) believes that...
Till next time (probably after the final exams!!!)...... bids all adieu.
Persist and persevere, and you will find most things that are attainable, possible. Lord Chesterfield (1694-1773) British statesman.

Thank you joyriders (18:30:00) updated w/ evidence!
The Joyriders show their support for the erstwhile "missing" JJ!!! Magnesium Peter the Boy Next door makes his donation... While Fuschia Sprite Chermaine puts in her share too! =)
Between 6am and 7am, 2 separate groups of joyriders took a detour to SMU to support our cause.
JJ: That's because there's 2 groups! One going the short loop (left @ Mandai); the other long loop (right @ Mandai!) http://joyriders.sg/routes.html
1st group had Le Snail Queen Joyce, Changi Ghost Rider Scott, Magnesium Peter The Boy Next Door, Fuschia Sprite Chermaine, Bubbles Sharon and several others that my sleep deprived brain cannot recall at the moment. Shall get Joyce or someone that took the pictures then for evidence! =)
Beyond Sunday Sam! Kindly offered her gels but not sure my tummy could take it then so... yea, stuck to 100plus & water! =)
Lawrence of Arabia & Korean Star Wong made guest appearances as well!
"Missing" JJ not missing any more! Being "supported" by the JR! =) Thanks to Joyce!
Thank you for coming to support. we appreciate it. :)
Finally a plug for the supporters. Check out joyriders.sg if you're keen on cycling 5am daily (JJ is known as MindReader over in those parts...)

Lester has been hard at work we see! The hardcore MTBer among us. He rides a full-sus! But don't let his smile deceive you, he's a demon on the singletrack!
When one is breathless, the only words that matter...
And so Fish lets his feet do the talking!

The Arrival of the Hunks! (09:39:04)
Dennis, Timothy Lim, Sarah (from left to right)
End of 7pm class has come and gone. The SMUX Trekking Gunung Tahan training session has ended. So has the regular Thursday SMUX Biking spinning session in the gym as well. The students have left the school (not the library...) Still the team from Ride From The Heart is still going at it. =)
The trio spinning away at this time are all triathletes. Woot!
Dennis Chong. He is a Year 2 Social Science Student. If you ask him, he says he'll do a full monty if it helps to bring in the donations! Ladies here's your chance! Bidders anyone? =p However when he's not doing his part for charity he races and boy, he runs like the wind! So ladies I hope you have some show stopping stuff if you want to have a go at giving this swift fellow some pause! =)
Already I hear Sam & Nick asking how much and when can he do the full monty!?! 0_o Woo... Is it 20bucks I hear... Wahaha
Dennis with Nick (Nicole) & Sam(Samantha)! ;p Happy customers we see? Hohoho
Next up we have Timothy Lim.
He is a freshman from Engineering NUS. He's tired. He says 2XU is a good brand.
He's Tim Lim. (& runs like the wind too!) BUT sorry ladies, no chasing after this one! =p
Sarah. Another flower in among the grasses. If you recognize, that's the pink triladies top from the first ladies only tri held last year. She likes pink too!
Somehow I think as the night progresses the posts will get less coherent? But oh yeah, we're on the way and we're coming through! Go guys & girl!

The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund was initiated on Children’s Day (October 1) in the year 2000 by The Straits Times, to heighten public awareness of the plight of children from low-income families who were attending school without proper breakfast, or pocket money to sustain their day in school.
The aim is to alleviate the financial burden faced by parents in providing for their children’s education. At the same time the funds will help children who are already facing difficulties in remaining in school to stay on etc.
Why are we doing this?
The objective of this expedition is to lead a team of 13 varsity students who will cycle a distance of over 1500km in 14 days along the West Coast of Peninsula Malaysia and past the border of Thailand up to Phuket.
The route will take us through over 20 towns, numerous major states in Malaysia and Thailand.
With such a huge distance, this expedition is certainly a huge challenge and test of our personal mental and physical limits.
At the end of this trip, we hope that we will not only emerge as stronger individuals, but also as individuals with a heart to help and impact the world that we live in.
Besides our desire to help the children of ST pocket Money Fund, this expedition is in a way an opportunity to live our personal dreams and passions. We feel that combining our personal dreams and passions with community work is a more sustainable way of contributing back.
With this expedition, we hope to reach out to other youths and inspire them; that in addition to living our (their) dream, we (they) can help the less privileged achieve theirs as well. This we hope, will leave an impact beyond that of our expedition.
