A Trip to Pulau Ubin!!! =)

Hi all!! Tt was a long weekend wor...haha phy and i went to pulau ubin on good friday all becoz of my sudden urge..=p shall let the photos do the job ya!
Haha this is how scary the queue at changi jetty was...went to ubin so many times, this is the first time i see such a crowd sia!!phy and i on the bum-boat..haha the 2 of us are like 'sua-gu' lidat...freaking excited though its not our first time to ubin...yep the amt of ppl roamin at ubin is scary too!! this time rd the mosquitoes can have their full meals...(slurp!)haha the 'bua-gia-si' phy is super exposephy and i at the entrance of PULAU UBIN!!! =Dtaken at the sensory trail..make a guess wad is this tree??This is the fruits of the tree...any idea???TA-DA!! haha the ans is Lipstick Tree~~~~ok..now try guessing wad tree is this....have you got it?? haha its the coffee tree!!!haha this is rather obvious la huh..jackfruit tree...this was taken before we went into the trail..this place acty used to be a small bakery shop opened by a family (fgt frm germany or england le =x)....haha throughout the entire trip..there were a lot of times whereby i zoom-in to take photos of sceneries bt fgt to zoom-out when taking photos of ourselves..which resulted in such BIG-FACED photos =pthis is the quarry which we saw when we were on our way to the german girl shrine
haha the 2 of us in front of tt quarry...ok i decided tt the ranger hat made me too ugly...XDthat was how bad the flood was.....haha and of coz..not to fgt, phy's beautiful legs =Pthis is the german girl's shrine which is located all the way at the west of pulau ubin..mm long history behind it..there is acty a write-up available at that place itself..mm the shrine looks quite well-maintained larhx..so nxt time when u go to ubin can go explore this place ya! =Dafter we came out frm the german girl's shrine, we just went up this rocky slope, thinking that it'll lead us to some main path....bt it turned out to be.....THE BIKE PARK!!! haha the 2 of us were struggling to cycle up those super steep slopes larhx..and phy looked so pissed when she cant chiong up the slope to the extent that a cyclist even stopped to ask her if she was alright =p
we tried to go as high as we can larhx..and we were awarded with this beautiful scenery...really really wonderful...pls dun mistaken this as a quarry ya...those who'd tried kayaking around pulau ubin shld know tt this is acty the sea le la huh..=pthat was with the sea as our background...and tt was how much we were left to the top of the park..Yep..so we only knew tt was the bike park when we exit from the entrance >.oh tts the entrace to the puaka hill (which means huanted hill in malay)...err bt we din really manage to reach the top larhx..apparently it seems like its been very long ever since someone walked tt trail le..coz we can only reach the 1st floor...the path leading to the 2nd floor is super dense larhx..so we didn't want to risk it..well..we were intending to head to chek jawa after puaka hill de..bt apparently lau tian ye bu zuo mei la..started raining..nono maybe pouring will be a better word..so we had no choice bt to head back to the jetty lor...wahaha phy and i even joked abt it, saying that its a good opportunity to train our leadering and critical thinking =Pyep so the 2 of us end up like luo tang ji la huh..quite pathetic...haha the wet phy....XDeven the cat seeked shelter with us =D (under my bike somemore..)haha and the wet JASMINE!! XDooo uncle in action!! the place where we were at was almost flooded..so the uncle was kind enuff to clear away the water..bt one thing i din really understand wad y did he sweep all the leaves and litter down to the drain???? maybe tts the reason for the flood huh...=/oh everyone was seeking shelter..haha so quite a few of them acty went into the seafood restaurant area...we left pulau ubin after the rain got smaller...haix bt still bu gan xin ya...din even get to go to chek yawa at all...that was how scary the weather at ubin's side was...





haha see the contrast in the weather at ubin and at spore??



this was taken at the jetty once we reached singapore...haha the 2 luo tang jis...=p

now i finally know wads the feeling of 'gek xim' (hokkien)

a lot had been happening recently..undesirable of coz..

hu leng hu re shi ni de zhuan chang ba?

zai bie ren bei hou shuo xian hua hen you qu ma?

zhe zhong zui ming, rang wo jie shou bu lai..

bu shuang jiu zhi jie shuo, gan ma yao an jian shang ren?

yao wo zhen me zuo, ni men cai hui man yi?

maybe i shld learn how to be smarter and protect myself...sometimes, walking out of the comfort zone may not necessarily be the right choice...

i realised...only when i'm at my workplace, can i truly be myself...that is a place whereby i'm highly encouraged to voice out my opinions and make changes to things to improve efficiency..its a place whereby i can be in control of things and make decisions...its a place whereby i'd seen the best teamwork ever w/o having to bring anyone down...its a place whereby every single effort is been recognised, no matter how trival it may seem to be...its a place where i can be myself...where i can be confident and raise my head up high...where i can feel a pat on my shoulder, telling me that i'd done a great job...where all these things cant be found at another place, a place that i'd been in for years.....

well..maybe i'd changed unknowingly due to the environment...but i mean, everyone grows up and everyone changes am i right? and whether one had changed for the better or for worse, it isn't really fair for others to judge, becoz wad matter most is to be urself and u can proudly lift up ur head to say that u're living ur life to the fullest...
