Haha.. yet another long post in a day. Only free this period to blog hehe....
I went cycling with Ken Jia yesterday, at Pulau Ubin. Eversince I stopped training, and returned the racing bike to Hans, I missed cycling dearly... so I dragged Ms Ong over to Ubin.
Ms Ong initially was so lazy... and she felt like going back home to sleep.. but thankfully weather was good!!! I was roasted!!! Woohoo! We reached Changi Village and packed nasi lemak into my bag(which smelt of fried chicken later on =/... ) and scooted on a ferry to Ubin Dao!!!

Entrance of Ubin
We cycled to Noordin beach, where Ken Jia's nostalgic NPCC HQ is near...
She is opening up the box of cake I made for her, her birthday was the previous day...
Tada! Chocolate cake with gum-paste flowers!!
Eating our nasi at a hut by the beach. Our 2 good bikes behind...
Picnic time!!!
This was the point where Ken Jia's bike chain came off. Seriously, both of us have NEVER fixed a bike chain before.... we were riding on the dirt path to Chek Jawa when her chain came off in the middle of the jungle trail where there was no one in sight.... ahhh!!! And what's worse, given my huge backpack, I FORGOT TO BRING INSECT REPELLENT. We had over 10 to 20 bites on each leg. And the mozzies happily feasted on us while we were struggling to fix the chain.. But volia!!! Girls can do what guys can! We fixed it!!!!! But got our hands black like mud after that. In this picture, we already cleaned off the oil.... but still black...
Chek Jawa is open! And they have this monumental "House no. 1" Its a cosy old colonial cottage. Very sweet...
Very rustic feel to the brick walls... Aiya nice pose but Ken Jia's eyes were half closed...
Nevermind the words on my shirt, Ken Jia gave me that shirt from Aussie. Look instead at the nice frame of the building
Just like a holiday bungalow. Me and Ken Jia have planned to move into make it our country home. Cool eh? By the sea! ~~ Dream on gals..~~
Back view of the cottage. Seriously hard to imagine I can find this in Singapore.. or rather, Ubin...
Ahh... don't I accessorize this picture.. ahahah
This is the start of the Chek Jawa coastal boardwalk. Unfortunately, the tide was high that day, so I saw nothing but sea water, if not usually, the seabed can be seen...
Happy Ken Jia....
Nice, naturalistic view of the sea behind...
This fruit is what we call the attap chee! The seed I enjoy eating in ice kachang! Attap Chee comes from.... Attap plant! Which means palm tree...
A sealed entrance to the quarry with a loophole. Guess what... We sneaked in the hole...
Nice view of the quarry, but be very, very careful, the place is restricted for a reason. One step off the edge of this cliff and you will fall storeys down into the lake... and it might be fatal. So we were very careful not to step over the rock. We want our lives...
But I must say its a nice view... But we dare not take any step beyond where Ken Jia was... scary
I like this picture =)
We spent a short time in this place, as it was deserted and dangerous. After taking pictures we quickly scooted off...
End of the trip! Tired but mission accomplished! 1) Tan obtained! 2) Cycling all over Ubin done!
Waiting for boat at Jetty!
