back to ubin!

today went on a trip with tze, ben, mj, huihui, huihui's mum and brother to ubin...

this time, the primary destination was to take a look @ the newly opened chek jawa boardwalk...hahaz...but everyone was late! wahahaz...agreed time was 11am at Tampines...everyone arrived at Changi...12.30pm! wahahaz...took the #2 bumboat ride to ubin...and we are back again! rented from the same bike shop again...then started cycling to chek jawa...hahaz...

once there...we first walked the mangrove boardwalk...climbed up the jejawi tower to observe the area...then continue on to spot...fiddler crabs! wahahaz...very small and cute...and they very fast too! continuing on...we walked the coastal boardwalk...to some near the sandbar...if only it was low tide! then can go walk the sandbar! argh...never mind...walked back to the old house no. 1...along the way spotted a soaring eagle (i think)...the house was converted into the chek jawa visitor centre lorz! hahaz...walked down the jetty to view pulau sekuda...hahaz...then went back to the vilage centre for some refreshing coconut! yay~ hahaz...

after the rest, we went to puaka...climbed up the 4 levels of puaka...and took nice photos there...then we cycled to the ex-sahara desert...before turning to go up tian chi...almost reached the old tian chi campsite...but spotted a family of around 5-6 wild boars in the area...then we din want to take the risk of getting confronted by a mama boar...so turned back to the village centre...

back @ changi village...we helped ourselves to desserts! i tried the red tea jelly longan...super nice! was introduced to it by my chess camp OGLs...hahaz...then it was back home after a long tiring day!
