Went to Pulau Ubin today with Ah Bin (aka Ah Min), Ah Tan (aka Ah Shan) and Ah Ting (aka Ah Xin). Its really a short boat ride from Singapore to Pulau Ubin. Bout 10mins or so, compared to the boat ride to Kelong, this is so much faster. Anyway we rented bikes and went cycling. Along the way, there was a lot of rubber seeds and we collected quite a few of them. We wanted to make them into bracelets! Haha... Thats a really special sourvenir.

Anyway, I shall talked about quite a few stuff that happened there. We nearly went in circles. Luckily we didnt, imagine travelling round the same area twice. Oh some of the roads though looked like a normal trail actually becomes so much narrower, bumper and leads us deeper into the forest. We went along one but less than 5mins later, we back tracked and it was then when I fell. The way I fall down is really damn funny. Ok Let me tell u, we stop cos we realise that the trail is really leading us deep into the forest and so we got off our bikes. I did that too. I was standing there holding on to the bike's handle and cos I think I didnt really grip the bike properly, it tilted towards the right and start to topple. Me, holding on to the bike's handles, never thought of letting it go. So I went down with the bike. Stupid! I fell while I was standing on solid ground! Silly me.

Along the way, we saw those really huge rambutan trees and we stopped along the pathway and tried to get some rambutan by throwing huge tree branches or big twigs. My aiming is lousy. Ah Bin's aiming super good. There were many times she managed to make some rambutan dropped down but those that dropped are actually those black colour, dried up ones. Sad! Haha But then again, even if it really dropped, don't think we would wanna eat it. Oh We did bump into Ah Tan's frens in Pulau Ubin. Erm... Oh and we passed by this area. Its just so weird and creepy. Lots of small wooden round blocks placed on ground and the top of the wooden blocks is a square piece of white cloth wrapped around it. Ah Ting or izzit Ah Tan say it is a tombstone thingie. Ew... From far look like miniature toy cartoon ghosts but without eyes. LOL Haha

And we did passed by this are with the red and white tape thing. I thought it is some crime scene thingie. It is only later in the evening when I chatted with Pit Lu that I realised I got it all wrong. Blue and white tape is crime scene but red and white tape means DANGER! And the place that is fence off is where honets are sighted or supposedly to be flying round that area. MY GOSH! And we stop there to rest. Its really lucky of us that we didnt even run into those honets while we are there. Thank God!

Anyway we went to this quarry area and wow its really beautiful! The clouds and sun is fantastic and is really HOT! Guess wad we saw an eagle! Rare sight LOL. And we also saw a rainbow! Can you believe it a rainbow on a bright and sunny day. Wads more it didn't rain at all that day. I thought rainbow appear only after rain. But apparently I thought wrong but its really beautiful. I love the purple flowers there too. They are so pretty but the awful bees were buzzing round that are and you know how I hate insects especially bees and wasps and honets and those that stings!

Oh There was once I nearly ran into Ah Bin. Was riding along the extreme left of this jungle trail and suddenly I heard a loud rustling of leaves and all that just next to me when I passed by that particular area. I nearly jumped... Well I didn't expected to hear anything and I turned just in time to see an iguna I think. Whoa! Big! And it was then that I nearly ran into Ah Bin. The rest they just managed to see its tail but I saw the whole thing! YUCKS! Anyway I also ran over a dead frog by accident. Good thing it wasn't me who kill it. It was already dead and dried up when it got ran over by me. Poor thing! Along the way, there were lots and lots and lots of dogs and some are really so beautiful. But they are all big in size. Too bad I dun get to see any pups running about in Ubin!

It was time to head back and retutn our bikes. We drank coconut juice and ate it except for Ah Ting who didn't like coconut. Love it when its chilled. Really delicious! The shop owner asked Ah Ting if she wanted watermelon since she didn't want the coconut. LOL! Ah Ting hate watermelon even more! The lady shop owner gave us some durains to eat free of charge. YUMMY! Haha We rested happily but the irritating thing would be the stupid bee I think, buzzing round us. Was shooing it away. Luckily it didn't sting any of us. PHEW! Imagine wad would happen if it did.

This is the worst thing that ever happen but then again it is the luckiest thing that ever happen to us! This WOW... Really have to thank God for protecting us even though we are the midst of danger. It is quite a freaking experience to me! We were walking towards the jetty when Ah Tan I think, spotted this swarm of black insects flying above the water surface on the left of the jetty. I bet there is over 200 of them or maybe even 300! We stop and stare cos it is a really puzzling sight and we were really curious. Anyway we continued walking when we realise that somehow the black swarm of insects are flying our way towards the jetty and its getting closer by the minute. We started walking faster and apparently weren't fast enough. We havn't reach the jetty yet, bout 3/4 way thru and it was then that I saw wad the black thing is and the worst part is it is flying round us already! They are either bees or honets! ARGH!!! I hate those creatures and I kinda ran. I am very freaked out, very freaked out. Ah Ting, Ah Tan and Ah Bin just walked faster and they reached the jetty. By then the swarm are like in front of the sheltered area, the boarding area. Luckily they flew towards the right of the jetty and headed to the forest! Thank God they didnt sting me when I kinda run. I have this really bad phobia of insects that sting and insects that make this buzzing sound! I will freaked out and if it is really bad, I start to shiver very badly and break down totally. Come to think of it, it should be honets cos I didn't hear buzzing sound. Good thing they didn't fly towards the boarding area. If they do we all have to jump into the sea! Which will turn out to be a frightening experience since I am afraid of deep waters and though I kinda know how to swim, I dunno how to tread water! This swarm of honets is a rare and awful sight. Thats like the last thing we did when we left Ubin, to stand still under the sheltered area and praying hard that the honets fly away instead of coming at us!

Finally, we are heading back to Singapore after a long and really tiring day! Come to think of it, we really dun have much stamina. When we go uphill, we will keep cycling but getting slower by the minute and then we just stopped hafway up the hill. Ended up having to get down our bikes and pushed our bikes up the slope cos there is no way we have enough energy or strength to cycle up. Wad a laugh! But the ride down the slopes is the SUPER ULTRA fun part! Haha! Love it, I really dun mind going back to Ubin again but the next time, I would like to give the honets a miss, it goes the same for the bees and that iguna.
