Ubin (part 1) (:

Was supposed to meet Epsilon, joshua& moo at tamp point. So i took a train dere, and realised puik was even later den me haha. Went to find dem && they spotted me at the escalator. Later then i knew that Audrey was there also :D They went to eat their lunch & we went to 'Giant' to wait for puik. After they bought their snacks we walked took 29 & walked to the jetty.

Changi Point!


Some meaos that i saw :D

A chihuahua strolling wif its owner :D

We reached the jetty and walked towards the boat :D

Ginnette, Xueni , Me & Joshua :D

Grp pic (:

Hard to take a nice pic with ur hair flying everywhere :/

Feeets :D

On the ride we paid 2.50 each to the 'boat captain'.
The wind was really strong & the water was really nice & clear (:



Hello Ubin (:

Grp photo taken by stranger :D

While looking for bikes, this catchy board caught my attention

Discussing the route to take.


We went to rent bikes overnight & we had to return them at 12pm the next day. It was 8 dollars each. Edmund took the couple bike to ride with xueni because she hasnt really mastered it :3 We took our different bikes & some of us took baskets to put our bags / water bottles in it. The we rode off to 'Secret Garden'.

Btw, all of us were really affected by the mozzies because they were relentlessly attacking us ! We spammed Audrey's herbal insect repellant + Moo's insect repellant + Josh's Moisturiser kinda repellant, Thriple protection haha :D



Edmund, Xueni , Joshua , Ginnette

Puik, Me , Moo , Audrey

However, as we rode to 'Secret Garden' , the sky turned reali dark && it started pouring. We rode back quickly to the bicycle place & found a place to seek shelter & order some food as our dinner. But it was onli around 430, oh welll :D



Fooodies

The rain stopped after half an hour or so & we finshed our food. We went back to 'Secret garden' and finsh what we didnt accomplish.


On the way there (:

Camwhores (:

Secret Garden!! (:

Mysterious well ;o

Lots of plants there with cute signboards (:

Nice flower :D

We reached there & left our bags on the floor to take pics of the many varieties of plants & trees. There was also this suspicious well which maybe some residental Sadako lives there hahaha. Edmund & puik keep photobombing me when i was taking a picture of the well. :o && apparently ,the mosquitoes like black stuffs. There were like a bunch of them hovering around our bags ( as some of our bags were black).

We took like 45mins -1 hour walking the whole thing & then proceeded to the campsite which was really far away .


The toilet which was our saviour (:

Grp pic!

The toilet was dark when i walked near it, bud when i waved my hands over the sensor, it lit up ;o I went into the toilet to change to long pants as Moo said it would be cold at night. There was also no mirror in the toilet :/ Just as i finshed my business & was changing halfway of my pants, the light was cut. I panicked @*(&E#*(@^^*% !!!!!! I wanted to go out bud i was halfway wearing the longpants. I also wanted to scream for help but the girls were in the toilet. I closed my eyes, quickly finish wearing my pants & went out to wave my hands over the sensor again.
Such inconvienience due to the power-saving toilets );

Ubin was dark when it was around 7. We rode past rocky roads & bumpy stones slopes.

I was really afraid because i once rode down a rocky steep slope and fell off my bike. My relatives came to see how was I & they were shocked because they could see the flesh of my chin. My parents had to bring me back to sew the hole in my chin & the experience wasnt at all enjoyable. That was like when i was 7? But the scar was still there, 4-5 stitches i tink );

After a long sweaty & weary road, we reached our camping site!


Danger sign 'glowing' due to the flash( take note of those white specks)

Tent for 6 ! ;o

Tent for 2-3 ? ;o

Yea, those white specks at the danger sign were actually FLIES. Can you believe it? At first i thought it was dust or something but to my horror they were fliesssss ;O Which doesnt exclude the probability of mozzies :/ . We took sometime to set up the tents caz' it was pitch dark & setting up tents in the dark aint easy.

I helped a lil bit in erecting the tent and felt a sense of accomplishment when the tent was looking big & fat :D Moo & Josh laid some 'mat' over the stones so we could put our things & sit down. However, the stones were not ordinary stones lor. It was dam hard & pricky :/


Tired me :x

Jus then , Moo said we have to do a nightwalk to find something he placed in the noon. It was with a red lightstick ! The darkness & tiredness :OOO
The eerieness of Ubin & the 7 of us have to walk a long trail down to get that mysterious thing that is beneficial for us, as he claims.
What could it be?
What might happen to us?
Stay tuned for Part 2 (:
