Four of us, Simon, 2 aunties from "Mosy" and myself were on our way to Pulau Ubin. It was my 2nd trip there and I have to say I was equally as excited as the first trip I had about 2 years back. One of the best part of the trip was to ride on the boat :) $2.50 per person for 1 ride. The breeze was fantastic and the smell of the sea was surprisingly therapeutic!
And we arrived!
The first thing we did was to look for the BEST place to rent the bicycles. One of the aunties had some trouble picking the bicycle, her legs are shorter and plus she has not been riding on a bicycle for almost 2 decades, she had to try from one bicycle to the next, and finally, she is happy with this one! haha
And so we rode and rode. There were several breathtaking sights which almost blew me away. The View of Quarry was one of them :D Although the heat was irritating, I felt I could just stand there for a long long time to admire the scenery. The water was crystal clear and it looked so alluring that I felt I would dive down and say goodbye. For a moment I thought that place reminded me of France. I think that was Simon's favourite place too. There seems to be some romantic sparks in his eyes when he talks about that place :D
(My camera couldn't capture the essence of the beauty.)
We stopped by a stall and had coconut drinks. Simon said the short break was for the benefit of the aunties:) Cos of the sweltering heat, the drinks certainly tasted refreshing and rejuvenating.
After the drinks, we continued the rest of the journey on the bicycles.
The trip was a great one; our skins were slightly burnt, and my arms and back ache terribly when I got home. Nevertheless, I look forward to the next trip there!
Thanks Simon (:
