Pulau Ubin Cycling

We went cycling to Pulau Ubin! About 15 of us. Some brought their bikes. Some rented from the bike shop at the HDB area.



Weather was perfect! In fact slightly to hot and sunny. Wasn't that windy if I remember correctly. Was just humid and sweaty. But we were enjoying it!


The group, standing right under the hot sun.


Halfway into the journey in Pulau Ubin, Terrence and me decided to go for the mountain biking trail. Others headed for Chek Jawa. The mountain biking trail in Pulau Ubin is more or less alright for mountain biking. Though I still think the Bukit Timah biking trail is as challenging at some parts because of the steep slopes.

After we completed the biking trail we joined the rest of the group at Chek Jawa. And for the first time in my life I saw a wild boar in Pulau Ubin!!!! It was very timid but daring enough to come close to smell an empty Twisties packet I reached out with my hand. The moment I got nearer to it it ran away.


Alvina and me. Probably one of her first social outings with us?


After the cycle we went to have some coconut juice. The BEST drink of that day. Very refreshing. Why is my left eye smaller than the other? O.o


Took the boat back to main land. Tiring but a very well-spent day together with everyone. Let's go back there again guys!

Lunch outing!

On Sunday all of the Chuan Hoe youth met up for lunch! We met at Dhoby Ghaut MRT and headed to Just Acia which has both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. Furthermore the meals also come with an unlimited supply of drinks and ICE CREAM! 14 of us turned up!


The prices are actually quite affordable. Averaged around $10 per person. There were quite a number of ice cream flavours. I had chocolate and mango.



After lunch we all headed to Terrence's place to hang out. Watched youtube clips on his computer, played with his dog. But most of the time was taken up by the WII haha. There was guitar hero, some singing game, some rabbit game, etc.

After that we celebrated Sophraine's 23rd birthday! By night most of the girls were here and they took over the guys with the singing game. We had sister-brother challenge, brother-brother challenge, etc. Haha.


Overall we all had a great time bonding. It was definitely a good time personally for me as I hadn't seen them for 4 months already being away in Aussie.

We're organizing a cycling trip to Pulau Ubin this coming Sunday and it will be another great outing!
