My cycling experience...
Today's trip to pulau ubin is more than words can describe. I always wanted to go pulau ubin. It was postponed again until today. Initially, i hesitated abt going coz my cycling skills suck. I looked forward to it but in fear too. I know i cant cycle on steep slopes & i panicked... To think i fell down on flat road, i wasnt concentrating coz there was a crowd of kids. Thanks Donald & Suz for helping me with the wound. The saying goes once bitten, twice shy. I was more careful and "taking instructions" from the rest when we were cycling towards the slopes. I'm still scared of falling down now but today's cycling is fun. Going downhill is really shiok, enjoying the breeze & crapping with them. Thanks Daryl, Lester, Donald, Ernest and Susan for slowing down :p My cycling improved tremendously after today :) There are so many 1st time. 1st time on ubin; 1st time cycling for hours & had thigh cramps, 1st time observing a peacock so closely...

The pulau ubin.
I felt this outing to Ubin is successful. There's so much to say. Go to donald's blog for more pics & details. I had the feeling of kampong life when i saw the houses and the run down toilets... We saw the peacock spreading and closing its beautiful feathers! Its movements are slow and proud. We saw 2 puppies feeding on its mother. We passed by this small cemetry : and stopped at a temple to rest. We drank ubin's kampong coconut which tasted saltish... Do go there if you want a extraordinary cycling experience but find pple who know the direction or can read maps well.
