Ubin on 1st sep

1st sep 2007
Mission: Conquer Pulau Ubin
Task force: 4 people (latte gal, Mee-C min, Uncle SK and Me)
Weapons: Nikon, Canon, Sunblock, no-use mosqito repellant, bicycle
Start: 730 - 6pm
730-9am : journey to changi jetty + breakfast at hawker center... We ate Nasi lemak, peanut pancake, waffle, carrot cake, chicken chop hor fan and beancurd. Dont be surprised by the heavy meal, it must last us till dinner!!! Mee-C min ate with gusto! "latte gal was complaining she forgot her cap all the way"

10+ am: we reached ubin, decided to trek to ubin quarry area to see the stone goddness of mercy. Took us about 1 hour plus to reach there as me and Mee-C min stop to take pictures. when we finally reached the place, we rested for more than 30 mins, taking pictures of the stone, praying and drink water form the oh-yeh, oh-yeh uncle stall. He is a very nice uncle, told us many stories about ubin.... with his encounter with the 3rd dimension world... guan tian hua re, gave us goosebumps! "latte gal was still lamenting about her cap"

12+ noon: we went back to the starting point, decided to rent a bicycle to check out chek jawa... although we were already quite tired, we decided to go ahead as the trip will not be complete if we never go see the broadwalk which we have heard so much about. "latte gal almost bought a cap"

1-4pm: we took about 3 hours + to finish the trip, the tracks we rode were horrendous, bumpy, scary with many steep slopes. i have to push my bicycle up the slope as my legs turned to jelly as soon as i went up a slope. then again as we came down the slope, the bumpy road gave us a natural, free massage on our backside- all our bottoms are quite toned now.

Chek Jawa was a very nice place, check pics in my flickr, soon to be posted!

i had a great fall when i came down one of the slope, it just happened when i almost succeeded my most dangerous stunt of coming down the steepest road i ever seen.... all the rest managed to overcome it before me, so i was the last one but i failed. I am lucky to be wearing capri if not i think the impact on the ground would have torn more of my skin away. My poor capri was torn as it help to protect my knee from the frictional impact. i substain some scratches, blood and bruises on my knee and palm. Thank goddnesss of mercy, i didnt broke my arm and my
camera was intact."latte gal forgotten about her lack of cap momentarily"


4+pm: we went back to the starting point and decided to end our tiring day. SEAFOOD, YUMMY and CHEAP(according to uncle sK) by the sea is our reward. WE FEASTed on it.

Guess what, we never take cab wor, we took a bus to tampines, and slept all the way. Then we took MRT and on the way LATTE GAL DISCOVERED THAT SHE STRIKE 4D!!! This perk us us up straight away and i think she can now buy a new cap for herself! She treated us ice-cream at swensen. I think goddness of mercy has rewarded all of us, thank you!!!

Now, my back is aching and my leg feels like stone. I am going for extra duties soon... argh
