Pulau Ubin
Monday, December 3, 2007
It had been 10000 years since I set foot on the island. Still remember the last time I went, was with my family. We went there for our usual fishing trip. Dad used to bring us to every part of Singapore to fish every Sunday. Sometimes we get to go overseas to fish with him=)
Back to yesterday, Pulau Ubin looks so different as compared to 10000 years ago. I don't know- it's just different. We went to Chek Jewa. Everything went well. We climbed the super tall viewing tower, dug for little crabs and killed one accidentally and looked at little mud skippers suntanning on the rocks. Me and Wen Qi even saw a wild boar family running right across the path in front of us. Cool. We even went to this so called 'Orchid Farm' where we did not see a single Orchid. However, there are many bunnies in the so called farm. They even have a wild boar- or rather a pet boar. Yup=) Things was going so well until we choose the wrong path back.
Someone decided to skip the 2 super steep slope where we came from and returned by the other path. And then, we got somehow lost. It was initially okay to get lost. However, we got lost in a narrow path filled with muddy mud which eats slippers.my slippers got stuck deep into the mud such that I had to somehow dig it out. Ade's slipper disappeared in to a puddle of mud. Then we had to walk bare-footed because our feet kept slipping out of our slippers. How irritating. It was already 530pm and we were still trapped inside the narrow path with mud all over us and the bicycles. I was pretty scared that we won't reach the main road by nightfall.
Luckily, we did it. In the end, we went one big round around the lagoon, went back to the same spot. Then we all agreed to ride back the same way where we will passed by the 2 steep slopes. I can still remember someone saying before we choose to avoid the 2 steep slopes- ' What can be worse then 2 steep slopes?' Oh well, now I can answer it- the muddy narrow path.
Besides being exhausted and hungry, I thought it was totally worthy. It was actually fun looking back. This is what I call an adventure @ Pulau Ubin.
