yearning to venture beyond the horizons

ubin trip with my MDA mates - cai and cecs, yesterday.


the weather was superb. there wasnt much crowd, very few bicycles and vans around. cycling was much of an ease (: it's my first time to ubin, acting as the guide. so when i brought them up to the quarry, i was rather worried that i would accidentally steered off into another direction, into the wildness. haha but luckily we reached the top without much trouble. as we descended, i got quite shocked cos i couldnt find the bicycles that we parked. i almost thought we lost the bicycles. but heng heng, we actually exited from another pathway while chitchatting. haha really lucky we didnt end up some other ulu place.


soon the rain poured and it was really refreshing to cycle in the slight shower. you feel like the top of the world, feel like screaming as you cycle. it is as though the rain is washing away the troubles, the wind blowing away the unhappiness.


very quickly, we reached back near the jetty to have our seafood lunch. my first time trying the food there, i only tried the coconut juice everytime im there. the prices were reasonable.

after a fulfilling lunch, we cycled once more to chek jawa. cai didnt want to go there actually, but i pretended that we were just going to the observation tower and we suddenly discovered we were actually at chek jawa already. haha :p

as we cycled, we sang hummed to the tunes of jay chou songs, trying to strengthen our abs muscles and stamina.


as we trekked,
we continued singing horrendously :p like no one's business;
we spotted wild boars chasing each other;
we generously gave mossies a treat;
we jumped jumped and jumped - take ur pick of the best jumping skills or best phototaking skills - we trial and error for goodness how long! haha.

lying down over at the viewing jetty at chek jawa, basking in the soft glow of the sun and the slight sea breeze, i could have just dozed off right at the comfy spot.



we stayed there just like that for more than half an hour, just chitchatting... yes cecs, if only we could stay till the sunset. next time ya? (:



so lonesome, it stood out out from the rest of the lush greenery. it was white, stripped bare of its leaves. what a unique feature.

yes goodbye ubin, for now.

later in the evening, i rushed out of the house with the crumpled itinerary in my bag to meet nel for my fish and co treat. thanks! games at minds cafe with nel's frens were fun too. haha. really hope to meet nel and hk over at laos.

yes it will be a welcome surprise to see two familiar faces over at a foreign land. but please no surprise attack at night ya haha.

even though i ended up with a searing headache when i tried to sleep, i slept with a smile on my face for yesterday was really a fulfilling day.

(:

yay! time to meet my 'big sister'! it's funny how we manage to keep in contact even after 3 years or so. she's the volunteer coordinator over at daybreak fsc. i duno why i have that sense of closeness with her, even though she is about more than 10 years older than me.


i share with her almost everything, no obligations at all. we even discussed to have her bring me to china, new zealand etc when im slightly older. (:
