So I cycled to Boon Lay

I'm very proud of myself. I made it to Boon Lay in 1hr and 13mins on my Flying Pigeon. I didn't cycle very fast or anything but I'm happy with the steady clip considering how terribly unfit I am right now.

You don't make it to Boon Lay on a Flying Pigeon without getting enlightened in some way. So here it is, as it fell into my head along the long stretch from Commonwealth Ave to Boon Lay Way:

Cycling to godforsaken Boon Lay doesn't make it any less godforsaken.

godforsaken boon lay is the equivalent of 鸟不生蛋的地方。(where birds don't lay their eggs)

Both are equally apt.
