Anyway we saw alot of dogs and cats on the island and we sighted rambutan, love peas and durian trees. We cycled to one part of the island where there was a beach and we were happily taking pictures when it began to rain. Luckily for us, there was a shelter at the beach and we seeked refuge under the shelter from the rain and lighting and thunder. Since we were stranded at the shelter, we killed time by chatting and playing Tai Di. I hardly know the rules to Tai Di and just whack lah. Anyway throw cards out. When the rain stopped, we set off to explore the other parts of Ubin, but i guess the rain didn't totally stop, so we ended up cycling under the slight drizzle, luckily i got my cap on, so i was sheltered from rain drops entering my eyes.

I hardly cycle nowadays and i have not cycled on unconcrete grounds for a very long time. Going back to Ubin for nature cycles was really an eye opener for a city dweller like me. Getting bitten by mosquitoes and scratching my legs like mad were the downside of the experience. I saw alot of attic house, very rural and very simple, along the way. I recalled being really tired bcos of all the upslopes that we had to cycle against. Switching to gear 1 also never really helped, my legs just dun have the strength to cycle upslope, during the last half of the cycling trip.

We cycled all the way until 3pm and it was amazing that we didn't feel famish until i started feeling weak bcos of lack of strength. Then we had lunch at one of the seafood restaurants there. Then we continued cycling and went to the Secret Garden of Pulau Ubin whereby we saw more different plants and scarecrows made up of tin cans.

My Inspiration came when we were waiting for a ferry to bring us back to Changi. Otherwise i wouldn't even bother to snap pictures using this lousy L7 camera.
