Good morning Blog,
Jon invited us to go for Ubin for a cycling trip with Mr L. These few days I had been engaging workouts, tiring but I feel that is the minimum I can do... Even though my tummy has no improvement in size than getting thicker/bigger... I have to continue to workout. Thank you blog for not judging me for looking fat and ugly... Anyway let's continue my post.
 |
Waiting for bus to come... So long....late again...
Btw I decided to wear a tee over my trisuit, I guess not many people will be comforted over it. |
I remembered that I told the pupils to bring min of $25 for the whole trip. Let's see whether is that amount enough. From Bishan to Changi Village by Bus 59, it took around 1hr 20 mins to travel.... Oh my... Meet the rest at Changi Village, then moved to jetty to take a boat ride.
On the way
Getting a bike
 |
As usual, we will rent our bike from this stall, despite of ok-ok condition, but because of a dollar discount from the boss.
$13 dollar for the rental ($6 + 13 = 19) |
 |
| Pray for safe trip on this island |
 |
| quiet island |
 |
| Can you image there isn't a decent road many years ago? |
 |
| Mr L got into shorts-torn situation, instead of wanted to go back home after landing his feet on this island for not more than 20 mins, he wanted to have my tee so that he can wear over to cover the big 'hole' at behind his shorts. I guess I will have to walk around in trisuit... Oh well, at least my tee have served it's purpose, and who knows it might become a new fashion trend? |
|
|
| Oh well... I guess Trisuit then, showing my BIG FAT tummy! |
 |
| It will be interesting to stay in such a living environment for some times |
 |
| To live in the minimalism lifestyle |
 |
| OKAY! EVERYONE! Let's go! |
Pekan Quarry
 |
| The first quarry which is located near the village |
 |
| A place for bird-viewers and nature enthusiasts. |
 |
| sometimes I wish I can use a drone to capture such a nice scene |
 |
| Oh my! It was getting hot now... |
|
|
| let's have our first wefie together |
 |
| Did some stretching before cycling |
 |
| Beautiful scene with the reflection |
 |
| With my epic ugly face to spoil the scenery! |
 |
| Oh yes! Today photoshoot I decided to perform a jumpshot because it is great to see myself 'floating'. |
Ubin Quarry (West View)
 |
| second easy access point to the next quarry - Ubin Quarry (west view) |
|
|
| There was a small path at this West View of Ubin Quarry |
 |
| I guess I will try to explore this path next time |
|
|
| Due to thick vegetation, you can't get any good shot from here. |
 |
| Thumb up for Jon for organizing this trip |
 |
| Look! Mr Jeff, there is an island to be explored! (imagination) |
 |
| Then we should go around that island to study its terrain. (imagination) |
 |
hmmmm we had a situation... Mr L had a heat exhaustion and he needed a place to rest himself.
We got worried that he might black out on this island, so everyone was trying their best to buy 100 plus or watch over him. So after nearly 30 mins, we managed to get him to nearby stall so he can rest there, as we will travel west to find the quarries. |
Ketam Quarry
 |
| Ketam quarry is located West side of Ubin, easy access along the route. |
 |
| Danger zone though |
|
|
| If I have a zoom-in lens, I will take a picture opposite this end. |
 |
| admiring the beautiful scenery |
|
|
| If we have a drone here, might be able to take nicer pictures with quarry in it |
 |
| We were everywhere until a HOT SUN!!!!!!!!!!!! |
 |
| Love the connection with the sky and earth |
 |
| Let's go to the next hidden quarry! |
Kekek Quarry
 |
This is the quarry which I missed out, Kekek Quarry.
On the map, there is not path to walk in. We have to really explore the route and we did! |
 |
| we were so HAPPY to find it! |
 |
| Look at such beauty! |
 |
| Clean and clear water, you can see fishes swimming around to check us out. |
 |
| greenish water, still clean! |
 |
| If the tree branch is thick enough, I will try to walk there, |
 |
| I can jump into the quarry but.... NOPE. :) |
 |
| what a peaceful man-made lake and under this, it might be 20 - 30m deep! |
 |
| I wonder what do the fishes see under the 'abyss'. |
 |
| Sit back and enjoy the tranquility |
 |
| and selfie-ing. |
 |
| Thanks Jon for helping me to take this picture |
|
|
| Fat man with Fantastic Quarry - totally opposite and spoiled the sight |
 |
| There is this gate infront of Kekek Quarry |
 |
| So we should not be here but thanks for 'allowing' us to enter to enjoy the scene. |
Back to find Mr L
 |
| A humble-looking drink stall which serves the visitors a shelter and drinks. |
|
|
Life living on this island really stop in time.
Love the stress-less environment but it is just temporary |
|
|
| I doubt I will come here again unless of good reason, so... let jump! |
|
|
| Somehow the feeling is loneliness... which I don't like... I prefer to back to city. |
After Mr L had done resting, we decided to cycle back to the village to have a short meal and exchange to better bike.
So that's why I said, I only manage to clear 11.5 quarries, I will be back!
Jeff
