Had a nice day?

Yep I had a nice day.

At...

Went to Pulau Ubin with some of the RunningKnows ppl.

Supposed to be doing some trail cycling, but in the end our (ok so only mine) objective changed to taking touristy photos. Here we go...

My bro Lester on the bumboat to Ubin.

Siok and Rob getting their bikes.

The bikes we got cost $6. On HINDsight, we should've gotten the slightly more expensive ones which had REAR suspension. Now my beHIND hurts...

After getting our bikes, we headed to the old basketball court to get ready. The court is still there but the hoops have been removed.

Rob getting ready with repellent!

Surprisingly though, I didn't get a single mosquito bite!! What happened to the commando mozzies of Ubin?!?!

Anyway, our initial cycling plan was Noordin, Manam then west towards OBS.

Somehow along the way, I took a wrong turn and ended up heading towards OBS instead of Noordin. LOL...

Well that didn't stop us from accomplishing our objective!!

We decided to have another go at taking Team Off Road pictures. Somehow it still isn't DARE enough...

Moving on, there were lots of familiar sights.

This sign is still there!! LOL...

We reached the quarry. And decided to check it out.

Really scenic.

Anyway after much cycling. We headed back to the jetty and had lunch at a restaurant nearby.

Coconuts.

And zhi char.

Food wasn't fantastic. But we were hungry. Only thing is they probably used crazy amounts of MSG. Felt really thirsty after that. Ugh...

Naturally after a full meal, you feel...

So we decided to head back to mainland and home.

Full photos are here.

Lester's photos are here.
