Ubin trip.

Went tracking at P. Ubin for the 1st time with Ah boy Gerald today..

We set off quite early in the morning arnd 9am and went Changi village there to take a short 10min ride on bumper boat to the island. Upon reaching at around 1030am we start our hiking towards the Eastern part and up to the summit of the island. There, we managed to see a quarry with an averagely sized lake at the bottom.. Stayed there to rest and take pictures for awhile before continuing our way down back to the jetty for lunch.

Lunch was nasi lemak bought earlier from Changi village market from a popular tendor.. wanted to save money as the food sold there were slightly more expensive.. After lunch at 12plus we continued towards Chek Jawa at the western end of the island..

It was a longer distance walk this time compared to going to the summit.. But we were lucky the sun wasn't too glaring amidst the canopy of the trees from the side of the tracks. Really reminds me of the times in army when i was doing route march in Tekong. Haha! Just when we reached our destination, it started to drizzle but it wasn't that heavy so we just walked on anyway. Kinda unlucky we din really see much of the fauna at Chek Jawa-- only saw few mudskippers and very tiny crabs. Continuing further on, we reached the viewing tower where we met a bunch of pri sch scouts led by Gerald's frens.. The scouts even mistook him as an instructor cos he's wearing the scout logo and 'instructor' print. The view at the ~5storeys high tower was quite not bad, can see quite far but not clear only.

After Check Jawa, we backtracked to the jetty. Along the way, it rained, this time downpour and we had to run quite a distance to our next shelter.. When we finally got to the shelter, we din really stay for more than 5mins as we were kind of being feasted by mosquitoes on our legs. By the time we reached back to the jetty at arnd 2.30pm, my legs were cui-ed.. Sat down at a drink stall and opened coconuts to drink. The feeling of drinking a nice cold coconut after a tiring(but fulfilling) walk/run is super shiok. Bumperboated back to Sg after that. =)
