My Ubin Trip !

This trip is on the 11th of October!

Alright I went to Pulau Ubin with Silly PD girl and 2 of her friends! We took bumboat to Pulau Ubin from Changi Ferry Terminal. It was $2 per head and there's no fixed departure time. There must be a minimum of 12 people before the bumboat leaves the terminal.

We reached Pulau Ubin at around 1pm. We had our lunch at a small coffeeshop in the main village (:



First few things I noticed about the island is that the lifestyle there is really rural and the people there leads a slow-paced life. After a light meal , we went to rent bicycles . There are quite a few bicycle rental shops there so prices there are quite competitive. The prices range from simple kiddy bikes for $2 to those high-ends mountain bikes for $10. We rented the $8 mid-range mountain bikes. Anyway the $8 bikes are not that shabby, it comes with suspensions! =D

We started cycling at around 2pm. We started off at a slow-paced, it was quite relaxing cycling through the lush greenery .

We found a wild cat deep in the forest while we're cycling! We fed it and tried putting the cat into my bag but it jumped out shortly after I took a picture of it..but then it is only a partial picture of the cat! =X

Alright we brought the cat to a road junction where we felt is safer for it rather than leaving in isolation deep inside the forest (: After a while, the sky started turning dark, we thought it was going to rain so we returned the bike to the rental shop at around 4pm.

We hired a van to drive us to Chek Jawa. Information about Chek Jawa can be found here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chek_Jawa

When we reached Chek Jawa, we climbed up a 20-meter tall viewing tower. It was a tiring climb but the scenery at the top of the tower is beautiful and breath-taking! (:


We climbed down the viewing tower after a while and took a stroll around the coastline. We saw "Frog Island" too ! (:


After about an hour, we took the van back to the ferry terminal where we took the bumboat back to singapore! (:

Anyway it was both a fun and memorable trip going to Pulau Ubin with my Darling ! (: Hope she had fun too ! Love you loads silly girl ! =D
