Hiking Team

Sandra, Participant:

I joined the Pulau Ubin IPC , partly because of “The-In-Laws” and to make new friends ! It was awkward and still is slightly, but I enjoyed myself so much ! I chose to hike at first because the previous times I came to Ubin, I hardly realize I’m cycling further away from the rest so I thought it would be anti-social to cycle, so I chose to hike and hahaha donate blood (a bit too much blood). But after lunch, I chose to cycle the individual bike!

OH (!) and we had the whole boat to ourselves, both to-and-fro !!! I preferred the boat ride back because it was slightly less awkward and we were all busy laughing at Jean !!

I had so much fun and made many new friends! Lastly, 我的华文 Olevel 刚刚考完所以我的华文表达方式不好，rusty le hehehe 所以他们问我问题我reply in English!!! 可是我的Olevel华文口试要到了所以我会尽量讲华语。谢谢………alibaba gostan

Cycling Team

Shu Wen, Participant:

We met up in the morning at Changi Village terminal. It was my first time to Ubin. Half of us decide to cycle and the rest decide to walk. I belonged to the cycling group. We spent some time choosing our bicycle. Deciding which route should we take and off we go.

We cycled on rocky road and slopes. Jean was made to cycle back, reason being was, if you hear HA-HA-HA-HA-HA, you will know that she is not lost. Half way through we decide to head for Chek Jawa hoping to see plants and creatures. Parked our bicycle out the gate of Chek Jawa and we saw wild boar. A small incident cropped up when we parked our bicycle. Phyllis knock over one bicycle and the rest of the bicycles fell down one by one like domino effect. We just stared as each bicycle fell and go Ha-Ha-Ha. End up we had to lift about 10 bicycles up.

Head back to the starting point to meet up with the rest for lunch. Having zi char with a big group is great, you get to eat different kind of dishes. From Ubin owned grown vegetable to meat and hot plate Toufu.

Cycling at Ubin was no joke. Those uphill slopes are soooo steep. You want to CHIONG up the slope but end up half way pushing it up. Jean was like HA-HA-HA-ing almost the whole journey. Ended up laughing along with no energy to chiong up the slopes. But if you can’t get past the uphill slope you can’t enjoy the downhill slope. And it was super SHIOK when you’re on the downhill. At the end of the day, you get butt pain and muscle ach all over but the enjoyment and laughter is worth it.
