Sorry for delaying the post due to the fact that I'm still overcoming my personal issues.Anyway,after praying to God,I feel much better now.
2nd day of the retreat is what I'm looking forward for.That's because we're going to Pulau Ubin Chek Jawa!I heard some nice stories about Chek Jawa and we can see beautiful coral when the tide is low.I got to see it to believe it.
Had breakfast inside the hotel before moving off.The bacon is very salty.
We are having a scavenger hunt in Pulau Ubin.The rule of this game is simple: Find the things listed in the paper and shoot it(with your camera).
It's Labor Day,this explain the disgusting crowd of people going to Pulau Ubin.
The ferry terminal changed tremendously since the last time I went Ubin,which was like...8 years ago?
And off we go!
The former Clementi-Redhill gang HGC.
Me,James,Pamela and Kelvin(kenna stepped).
The boats that were behind us.
We are reaching soon!
This place is so crowded that the mini van had a hard time driving us to Chek Jawa.
Yeah,we took the mini van aka the taxi to our destination.Cost us around $2 per person.However,if you wanna go for the bike,it would be about $6 per hour,plus a hard time trying to navigate to this place.
There's even a desinated parking space for the bicycle at Chek Jawa!
What will we find there?
Can you spot the big spider?
The whole journey is a long and tiring.Tiring thanks to the super hot weather that cause my whole body to perspire like mad.Good thing I've put sunblock to protect my skin,or else I'll be having a major sunburn.
No space for us to take a shelter!
On our way,we saw some fiddler crabs.
The atap-chee.Yummy!
2 aliens on the spacecraft waving at me.

Anybody guess where's this place is?
After exploring Chek Jawa,it's time for our lunch.It kinda disappointed that I'm unable to find beautiful corals during the low tide.Anyway,that's the end of our trip.
We had some problem with the van that took us there.First of all,we didn't buy the tickets to go back,until at the point of time his friend helped us to contact him.It took us 30 minutes of our waiting time for the van to arrive.It's our fault for not buying the tickets back.
As for the another batch of group that was led by the female driver,they were less fortunate than us.It took them 1 hour for the female driver to take them back,resulted in late lunch consumption.
The Quarry on our way back.The water there is beautiful.
Time for our lunch!The store aunty showed a black face when we reached.That's because we are late for our lunch.
First stop restaurant.If I remember correctly,is where we had our dinner with Richard and the rest 9 years ago.
9 years ago......*sigh* I'm getting older.
Pastor Geoffrey with Weiling's baby.
The ornament outside the restaurant.
Here comes the dish!
Sweet pork chop.It had a strange taste.Nevertheless,it's great.
Sambal Sotong.Very fresh,very juicy.
Sambal Tofu.Nothing special.
Crunchy vegetable which I didn't take.
Sweet and sour fried chicken chop.One of my favorite dishes.
Fried prawn.Usually I don't take prawns with head because I'm lazy to peel it.But for this,the head and the body of the prawn is very easy to peel.No hands are required to peel it.
I don't know why,but we're eating very fast.
An excellent lunch indeed.Simply loved the freshness of each and every of our dishes.
After lunch,it's time for a walk(and a cycle)to digest our food.
A parrot at one of the stores.
Poor doggy.It must have bitten one of the tourists,or else its mouth wouldn't be covered up.
Another wonderful scenery.
Felicia,Yanyi and Pamela.
Wonderful quote with a redundant last sentence.
Time to made our way back!If I'm not wrong,I drank alot of water without going to the toilet in Ubin.
We were all very tired from the trip,but still we're energetic to take more photos on our way back.
Errrmmm......pastor,I can explain.He was trying to clear my choke.Yeah,choke.
Dinner was nothing special.We had dinner at Thaipan but the food that was served is not even Thai style.
That's all for Day 2.
