.:. Pulau Ubin .:.

My surname is papaya.

The earliest GOF outing in the history of GOF outings. Whe I first received the sms from sushan on tuesday(I think), mentioning we're meeting at 0730 at Tampines, I already had my doubt liao. As GOF's earliest riser even I find that early. But oh well went ahead anyway. In the end, me and mich reached first, followed by sushan (surprised anyone?), wendy, zhiyong and then ryan. And then lastly our grand entrance girl, jiayen. So in the end we left Tampines interchange at bout 8+ or 9 i tink.

We managed to reach pulau ubin safe and sound, journey rather smooth. Rented 7 "non-modifed with racing bike equipment" bikes and we're off. No map, no idea of the route and probably most of us first timers, and we're off. Ryan led the way, with me and zhiyong covering the back of the girls. Ad you would think that with a armour serg, a combat engineer and a to-be signal serg things couldn't go very wrong. Within 5 minutes of our journey we had our first and major accident liao. Our dear Michelle tried to chiong up a hill, failed and fell. Not only that, she somersaulted on the ground before she landed OMG! Scared the freaking hell out of all of us la. Lucky all she got was a wound on her knee and some cuts, comparatively little to how she fell.

After investigation, it was deemed the lousy makeshift basket's fault. It was pressing down on the brake wire, resulting in a perma break situation which caused mich to suddenly flip lo. So caringly ryan took her bike to go exchange, pushing it all the way back on one wheel onli...like a very tall wheelbarrow. With everything settled, bikes all checked up and ready to go again, we're off.

Up and down hill. Dirt, rock and concrete paths. Dodged people and cyclists. Hear NPCC cadets singing army songs when they aren't remotely near entering SAF yet. Then anotherincident happened. Somehow, wendy decided to go down a steep slope on her bike without braking, not exactly a wise decision huh. So down the hill, and down on the floor she goes. But her fall wasn't as bad, jus some cuts too. And the reason why she did what she did, she didn't see the sign which says "Steep Slope". Moral of the story, signs aren't just for drivers, cyclists please read and deem fit as to whether you should follow it too.

So ya 2 major incidents of a supposed relazing and scenery taking pulau ubin trip.

But it was still fun :). My 2nd time at pulau ubin, first time cycling there and its been awhile since I cycled. The path isn't exactly smooth as the one in ECP, its a dirt path after all. Which all the more makes for the challenge. And being in the army allows me to appreciate zooming through the forest path at a speed faster than 4km/hr and without a field pack on my back. Feel the wind in your hair! Also the scenery there is NICE! Not picturesteque nice but NICE! Should've brought a camera. My skills might not be comapratively...ok not even worth mention of Ryan's and Sushan's standard, but I know how to press the button ok :) Not everytime can go such places to take photo ma, should've seized the opportunity. Oh well that just means one thing. I want to go back to pulau ubin! And this time when I go back I want to spend more than half-a-day there, with my camera (not worth mentioning of) and slowly take photos :). Just like that lepak the day away.

That is if I'm free again...

Looking up to the sun
Flying high, up high on wings
The heat dissolves them
and he falls into the deep sea.

A single tear drops into the serene water, creating a wave
That wave is blown by the wind and reaches far away.

The moon gently massages my shoulders
reflecting a yellow path on the water surface.
