PULAU UBIN

(Before starting on this post, I just realized I've been going out a lot lately. No wonder I'm running low on money! On a random note, I want to eat curry noodles.)

So. Huishan came to my house on Thurs and we went to have Korean food at CS's foodcourt, then went for fish-spa (again haha) and went back to my house lalalalalalalala she slept at 3am and I slept at 6am lalalala we set off at 10am to Macs for breakfast and I finally had my pancakes and we went back to my house to pack whatever we needed for Pulau Ubin (insect repellent/sunblock/bottles of water/camera) and we headed off to the interchange to catch bus 29 and we arrived at Changi Ferry Terminal and we took the bumboat to Pulau Ubin:


Huishan dancing in to the cabin.


And we depart for Pulau Ubin!!

I was very fascinated. I like bumboats. Actually, I just like being near the sea. It's very relaxing, somehow. We reach in about five minutes:


Look at the flower pants on the uncle at the left hand side of the photo hehe so cool. (H)
We rent bikes! $10 for two of us, unlimited timing. (Y) I was quite excited because it has been long since I've been on a bike.

But the trail is tough! There are so many uphill slopes; my legs were pedaling and pedaling and pedaling like there's no tomorrow and I was so tired. Huishan had to wait for me all the time!! HAHA. I felt like such an old woman! SHOWS I HAVEN'T BEEN EXERCISING. :(


While riding, we saw A COOKIE MONSTER STATUE OMG IT IS SO CUTE I HAD TO TAKE A PHOTO WITH IT

:D:D:D ! (Please ignore the ball in its mouth.)

While cycling, we decide to go to Chek Jawa! (Even more uphill slopes wtf. Thank goodness for the downhill slopes, if not I would have certainly died of exhaustion.)

Huishan dancing. Again. :p




While walking along the bridge, we came across a tree that looks suspiciously like the tree in the first movie of Harry Potter:

Right?

HS loves the tree so much; she labels it as hers. :O
We walked till we reached the viewing tower!!



If you look carefully, there's an aeroplane near my shoulder. HAHA. I was very amused by this.

Indeed a long way down :o

Taken from the top!! She ran down first because she was scared. :P SHALL UPLOAD THE VIDEO SOON HAHA IT'S STILL UPLOADING ON PHOTOBUCKET!

Ah then we walked back to the entrance, and biked back to Pulau Ubin. Damn fucking tiring and we got caught in the rain!! :( I tried cycling with an umbrella but it was the ultimate FAIL due to the stupid slopes. So I was drenched and so was Huishan and we were both very miserable because we were drenched and cold :(

Quickly went back home and showered! We went to Popeyes and dapao our food since every single table was taken up. (Early dinner because we were both ravenous.)


End of the day!!! :) HS went back at 6.30pm.
Right now the muscles at my calves are aching and it hurts to moooooooove :(

To sum up the trip to Pulau Ubin:

• HS kept dancing to places;
• HS was very fascinated while we were passing a mangrove and exclaimed, "It feels like Narnia, but without the snow!!";
• While at the viewing tower, HS had a panic attack and it was all videoed down MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA;
  
• We saw a Cookie Monster statue and I still wish I could smuggle it back to my house;
  
• We saw thousands of little red crabs and I'm not kidding when I say LITTLE, they're like the size of ants, and they were all moving in one direction. I proudly exclaimed that they're gathering to form a huge army to attack humanity and that we are doomed. Two boys that were taking photographs of the crabs laughed after that and I happily ignored them;
  
• We saw a lot of mudskippers;
• We saw a lot of seaweed;
  
• We saw a lot of NS men!!!!! I'm serious. They were EVERYWHERE;
  
• We witnessed a group of tourists playing Amazing Race;
• We got caught in the rain;
  
• We saw three very cute angmoh boys and HS is still in love;
• And we went home.
