Jie Yu and I went cycling at Pulau Ubin and it was a thrilling trip. I feel leaner already! For more photos, click here.

I need to get my own DSLR. THANKS LYON!

We didn't stop to photograph the quarries but we took a trip to Chek Jawa, which I've always wanted to go. The best sights and most exciting bicycle trails can also be found to and fro the jetty and Chek Jawa. There are some steep upslopes but most of them are manageable. The payoff going down the slopes ("with caution for your own safety" say the numerous signs) is fantastic and worth the effort. The bicycles are also much better than those for rent at East Coast!

We also saw tonnes of wildlife but the only mammals we saw were monkeys and a banana-eating dog. However there were plenty of insects and birds. The number of mosquito bites we had were frightful. There was a bird which was supposedly a crane ir stock but looked more like a duck trying to drown itself. Very interesting!

For those who are interested in making a trip to Ubin, it costs $5 for a ferry trip to and fro Changi Jetty (which is at Changi Village) to Pulau Ubin and $6 to rent the bicycle for the entire day. You can also get 1.5 litre bottle of water for $1.50. My hor fun there was $4. I'm tempted to try the rest of the food there though!

Onward with my mission to explore every single park in Singapore!

hahahahha so awesome, i'm glad you finally went ubin, it truly is awesome. I almost died on the way to chek jawa, i think the route was treacherous.
You need to go to the west side as well, there's a bicycle trail that i was too shagged to try.
WE SHOULD GO THERE TOGETHER AND GET MEL AND NESS ALONG.
