island getaway!!! we have a new colleague at WTO....*Drum roll....... Elisabeth from Germany!!! to make our job easier, we could address her as Lissy and so this will be how i'm gonna address here from now on...as many of you know.... i'm a huge fan of Hitler and Germany..... and so i'm really excited having her around!! She will be here with us for 4 months and focuses on BOP market.....she travels here alone and had no one here...so maia and me decided to be that 'someone' for her during her stay here... to make life here more interesting, we brought her out to experience Singapore....Maia brought her to little india and chjimes..but due to some health probs.... i missed that..... to make it up, i brought these two foreigners together with ronald (maia's friend...also a Filipino) to Pulau Ubin!

BTW...This happened right after the ktv party we had.... I slept at 3am...

So met them at Tanah Merah Station...cabbed to changi ferry terminal and was shocked to see the new upgraded terminal...it is definitely newer and cleaner...but i hate the new look....still prefer the old jetty.... took a ferry over for $2.50 (luckily the ferry is still the old and noisy one...)and within 15 mins...we arrived at Pulau Ubin. did some short intro and a few jump shots at the"welcome to pulau ubin" signboard and went over to rent some bicycles..... we each had a bicycle for $7-$8 (whole day) and our exploration began.... cuz the island is small.... we did without a map and just followed the route....and the route brought us to the entrance of Chek Jawa...understood that that tide is coming in and we might not see as much as we should.... but we still went anyway.... the trail was challenging....maia and me disembarked several times to push our bicycle....and after about 15 mins of pain...we reached the real entrance of Chek Jawa... we were brief by the guide and decided to climbed that 4 storeys high viewing deck..... i seriously dun know how that can be 4 storeys high.... it is way higher in my opinion.... we took some corny photos up there..rested then went for the mangrove walk....the walk is kinda short...but we took quite a number of photos..... had a short rest at this small hut...think its the visitors centre and then off we ride our way back...the route is easier....cuz the up slopes became down slopes ;p
did a little more cycling and head over to the beach....chatted...complained about "you know who" and enjoyed the singing at the background (some guys and girls having a retreat or sth).... then decided to head back to Singapore....

I sure had a good workout...... hope the foreigners like this part of singapore.... cuz this is the part i love...
