Ahoy Ubin!!!

On a restless sunny sunday mid-morning, 3 girls, that is one bitch, one choco-lover n one mischief, decided to embark on a hike at Pulau Ubin island.

Braving the blazing heat, lack of sleep(I hav Edwin n the boys to thank for) n choppy waters n a smoke emitting diesel engine old bum boat, these 3 girls had lots of fun taking photos n acting cute in the open view of the other 9 boat passengers which includes a very very nice old uncle in his 80s.

On reaching the island, the 3 girls went to the Police station to report themselves for the hike. However the police station was CLOSED!!! Yes! Closed n the gates n entrance were locked wif padlocks. Interesting.
Rule 1 : If u got lost in Ubin, u can 'count' on the Ubin's Policeman to locate u.

So we went to a small provision shop where the bitch bought a new pair of slippers becos her nike soles had fallen off. The mischief had the first sign of exhaustion n hog the shop's only fan n Val a.k.a the bitch's umbrella.

Despite the initial hiccups, these 3 girls took 1.5 hrs to trek along the Lagut's trail where they saw Mangrove swamps, traditional Kampongs on slits, Zinc roofed houses, traditional water tanks n wells the villagers used. The mischief hid under the bitch's umbrella n clutching a pack of ice under the scorching heat( trust me it was really really hot) while the other 2 girls were busy taking secret snapshots of the mischief.

Halfway through the lagut's trail, the girls were lost in the endless wilderness n there were no human or animal sights. Juz patches of dried up mangroves n endless trees. At this point, the bitch showed signs of exhaustion but fortunately, her umbrella,some water,loud jokes n companionship did the magic n she was up n running again. It was really scary n lucky we hav the choco-lover's great navigation to applause for!

After another 15 mins of endless trek, we finally emerged to the main road n were glad to see n hear human life. The 3 girls headed for the final route, which lead to an outer view of the Pekan Quarry!!! That's the peak of the trail and we were treated to a pictureque view. Heee!

Another 15 mins walk n we were back to the old shop where we had some coconut juice n cool down. N finally the Choco-lover was struck wif exhaustion.

Its a very interesting n scenic experience! However, I will nv go to ubin on a midday n will be armed wif an umbrella!
