First, I had my Friday afternoon off and that gave me ample time to have fun with my parents and even my dogs.
And on Saturday, I had a time of my life with my colleagues at Pulau Ubin! Ok.. It's not the first time that I was there but being there with colleagues made it a greater deal for me to be ecstatic. Well, for very simple reason - we are out of the work context and it wasn't easy scheduling an outing based on the tight schedules we are holding onto!! I guess... at the same time, I do believe that friends can be found from a workplace.
By the time we got over to Ubin, it was already 130pm. Rented bikes for a cool $4 whole day (till 6pm only) and off we go cycling! I thought I had forgotten how to ride a bike but no no no... Cycling is like swimming or driving.. Once learnt, never forgotten.
Remembering the last time I went was for a Unit Amazing Race. We cycled around and boy... I remember I was SO exhausted because there were too many slopes! I think I walked 1/2 the journey. I am real glad to say that this time when I was there, I have improved! (At least I feel so) I cycled most of the time!! Haha!! Ok ok.. Gotta admit there are times when I just have to get down and walk up the slope but not as often as 2 years ago. My only conclusion is that all my walks to my home visits and workplace (currently) has helped strengthened my leg muscles.
The first hour and half, we simply circled around trying to find the trail that can lead us to Ubin Quarry. By that time, we were quite exhausted (weather too hot) so we stopped for coconuts! (It's SUPERBLY priced at $1.80. So ex!!) But for the 6 coconuts that we bought, we got one free coconut that was iced. Man! It was "heaven!". WE set off again and this time, we managed to find the quarry trail. Can't cycle so we walked. Reminded me of Bt Timah Nature Reserve. My poor friend twisted her already loose ankle and another friend hit her head due to low branches. But at the end of it, we saw a beautiful quarry. (I am just being very suaku) After the quarry, we were quite satisfied since that was our main purpose. Before we returned the bike, we landed ourselves into a beach area. Though small, we all felt that it was very beautiful and relaxing. Just a few photos from my phone. The rest of the photos are still with my friend..
Thereafter, I went in my dirty and smelly attire to Esplanade to watch my friend's 45mins performance. Am impressed by the acting and expressions of the actors/actoresses. But what made my day was this:
Kids just bring smiles across my face. Haa...
