5.36pm
"i say we should just go ahead!" says sean.
so on a fine saturday
despite the morning drizzle
and the dark clouds looming ahead,
we went to the island
of the last of the kampongs in singapore.
ubin, neighbour of prison island tekong.
yup so met up at 11am,
as usual everyone was late,
lunched at changi village haha.
zi char-ed again.
then made our way over at abt 1plus.
by bumboat haha.
and nope it didn't capsize.
singapore boatsmen zai one k.
shengheng ernest me rujun meijun sean
on the boat on the way there (:
and nothing la actually.
just cycle around the whole place loh.
thank god we got the $13 bike
instead of ernest's cheapo $5 one.
ouch.
but even with the $13 bike
we had our first casualty barely 5mins into the ride.
i was trying to scratch my butt!
mm as with most people coming to ubin,
cycled then climbed up the quarry
where we self declared a long break haha.
where we as usual
being the hyperactive and restless young people
do our usual lame and stupid stuff
like pee down the edge.
or throw ernest off the cliff
and play retarded games
and bully the loser.
(which was mainly ernest la)
like making him eat grass.
and here he's trying to run away
from sean who's trying to force feed him some sand.
for the record ernest was sporting enough
to get sand in his mouth in the end.
and yep haha i didn't do my forfeit in the end
cause there was this group of ppl
obs or what haha a bunch of small kids
who climbed up the top also
so i didn't get the chance to pee down.
oh well yay (:
haha and the customary group shot
on top of the quarry.
everyone who comes here does that anw.
so went all the way down,
before more cycling haha.
trying to scam ernest into believing
that we were headed towards chek jawa,
when we were actually going the other direction
deep deep into obs property,
on dirt roads which seem to go on uphill forever.
trying to get so lost inside the forest
that ernest couldn't get back in time
for his cousin/friend's birthday party.
but oh well we couldn't go far enough,
every road led to a gate
with 3 x con wire protecting it.
haha wtf even keat hong camp
doesn't have con wire to protect it la.
maybe there's more to obs than meets the eye haha.
so sadly ernest managed to make his way back
at least we kept him back for an hour or so i think :D
which left me sean shengheng meijun rujun.
horns and flutes.
SECTION MATES DUO.
and flutes (:
and with about 2 hours left till 7pm
(when we had to return our bikes)
we made our way to chek jawa for real this time.
all the way at the other side of the island.
don't we all just love torturing ourselves ((:
after many ups and downs
and a thoroughly bumpy journey,
we made it at abt 6pm yay :D
didn't really bother too much
abt the sign outside that said
open till 6pm
yup so just lepak and walked about
taking a much needed break from all that cycling
haha butt pain liao la D:
and sean got to see his mudskipper afterall
doink doink doink thingy whatever he calls it.
it was quite relaxing really.
just chill and walk around
salty wind in our hair,
sky above, sea below.
despite the darkening skies
and the fact it was so late,
we were the only ones around.
on hindsight, thankfully it was so late
that no one else was around really.
we spent a good half an hour
spitting at crabs and mudskippers
and whatever we could find on the shore
much like a disgusting version of paper toss.
got imba windspeed one loh pls.
no one managed to hit any btw.
just slacked around enjoying the breeze
and the lack of mosquitoes for once.
until sean got a call from the uncle
complaining that we were late
in returning his bikes haha.
which brought about the great sprint
halfway around the island,
back to the jetty and the bike shop there.
loser treats the seafood dinner.
for the record, shengheng lost haha.
dinner was awesome though (:
kampung chicken, tofu,
friend sotong, some veg,
man tous haha, chilli crabs.
haha real chilli crab,
not the sweet tomato sauce crab
that sean's mum cooked for ernest :D
dinner bill came up to a bit more than 100.
haha and we're really not so mean
as to really make shengheng pay la (:
and in line with the recent trend,
i shall leave with a band photo
where i have no totally idea
what everyone was doing/thinking.
the guys.
oh and it really didn't rain much the whole day,
much thanks to sean the weatherman.
because cider is the elixir of life
