And e pulau ubin cycling and camping trip on sunday can be described as.. intense fun heh.. Somehow thou, only e western pple turned up in e end- ws, gf, linlin, ds, dt, me and of coz e birthday girl, who came e latest coz being e centre of attraction, she gotta be as fashionably late as possible, despite this being a cycling and camping trip.. =)
The jorney there took like almost 2 hrs ( kaoz.. waiting for bus 29 at tampines mrt was damn long and e bus ride took damn long as well) and I'll probably die of boredom without e company ah.. We managed to cycle e whole island juz like e previous cycling trip at ubin in yr 1, taking a few breaks here and there for photo taking and mosquito feeding. The weather was kind to us as well since we r in e midst of e rainy season. But it had rained on friday so some of e tracks were muddy and more challenging and hence more exciting! Also e campfire wood i.e. e branches we collected at night were a little tad damp.
And by e end of e intense cycling, some were sporting cuts, some sporting blue-blacks or hematomas, some with sore buttocks, some with mud splattered all over e berms/trackpants or with mosqito bites splattered across e body srufaces, but everyone being a better man/woman at e end of the day . Well.. no one say its gg to be easy.. But we were rewarded with e thrill and euphoria achieved together with perspiration and managed to even spot a large running crazy wild boar and a gigantic crazy monitor lizard while ws was leading us while dismounted thru a narrow lalang-grown pathway to a fordden view at the Ubin quarry. Our approach probably disturbed e giant lizard nearby and we heard this huge commotion of something heavy splashing into e water. Me and ws who were further infront b4 the rest were surprised by e loud commotion and ws had at first thought it was a crocodile heh.. But I saw e head sticking out of e water, resembling tat of a huge sea turtle and concluded tat it was a monitor lizard. GF or DT who was behind me and ws had actually thought that one of us had accidentally fallen into the water.. Heh.. And en finally Wanyi came along and said, 'where's e monitor lizard?', which was like maybe 2 minutes after e sighting.. Heh..
And of e seven of us who came, only ws couldn't join us for e camp over while dt, the pang seh king, had actually changed his mind and decided to dawn over. Tientien's church stuff ended late so she couldn't join us in e end. Nonetheless, 6 pple is still absolutely fine with me as well.
We had dinner at a jetty restaurant and wash up/tok cock/sing song there till 8++ before leaving for our campsite- which was actually still unconfirmed by en. Linlin was shagged out and die die dun wanna cycle to e other 2 beach campsites -noordin beach and mamman beach. It was pretty lucky that e restaurant boss informed me of e new campsite which was very close to the jetty, just beside the basket ball court. I have also heard of the new campsite from Yueting, who is a chek jawa tour guide ( how cool is tat?) but it was not highlighted on the existing unupdated maps. So thanx to e restaurant boss again who marked e location on e map, which in his opinion is also the best campsite on the island.
And indeed the campsite is pretty clean and insects-free and even had specific campfire site, where there r 4 logs for sitting around e square space, which is filled with granite rocks for fire making. And we sit there and tok cock/ sing song/ share rumours etc.. Tibits and microphone were passed ard and and b4 long, it was 12 midnight and e onset of wanyi's big 21st birthday, thou actually it was delayed by a few minutes coz we were trying to rejuvenate e dying fire.. Heh.. And en wanyi made her wish, attempted to blow out e campfire and prepared herself to be thrown in the sea- but alas- we are too nice pple liaoz..
We started cooking e can food and little did we realise e spicy bee hoon which I brought in mistake instead of maggie mee, could taste so nice actually. Campbell soup, sausages, baked beans were served and to top it off, we even had a fantastic dessert of longan brought by e most handsome guy.
And en after we lie under the stars, on top of ws' hammock laid on e sand, and tok and laff and tok and laff until 4.15am, all e while most of us fully awake. We also attempted to COUNT the stars, which was actually very farniee. It was one heaven of a night. But en when we finally decided to sleep, e mosquitos decided to feast and I didn't catch a single wink in the end.
We decided to break camp as early as 5.30am since we are fighting a losing battle with e moses and e boats are available early at 6-7am. And so we catch abit of sunrise at e jetty and made our way to home and beds.
Yup.. Fantastic way to start the 1 mth hols if u ask me..

So cool man! And she's back in Singapore for good, so now I'll have someone to consult abt my future pet (hopefully a siberian husky or alaskan malamute).

Happy deepavali folks! And if u realise, yesterday was halloween too! And thanx to Singapore being a multi-racial country, we are now enjoying our well-deserved break. And so last nite we had a semi class outing, and we proceeded to Orchard Rd Marche for dinner. Turn out its pretty happening coz there's this huge gang of pple, abt our age, in their halloween best and we really had fun watching em heh.. Some of their costumes r no where near scary, some even kinky.. The most kinky one from e girls would belong to this one japanese school girl complete with long socks, short skirt, loose tie, black jacket, white blouse, e likes. And e most kinky one from e guys would belong to Mr macho-cum-sissy... a balleterina! He was wearing this white tight fitting ballet costume, complete with e splastic white skirt or watever u call it.. Well e costume really suit him well coz en he can show off his biceps and even his chest hair heh.. A Marche staff even requested to take a picture with him.. Among e rest there are a zorro, some vampires, a priest, a retro dancer with a wig e size of a pumpkin, hell-lot of fairies, some she-devils n e rest who r not worth mentioning. Dinner was good and Dennis came to buy us a jug of beer, which was good as well.
We crap till 11+, and en since we are all vehicle-less, we decided to head back home before taxi drivers start to massacre us. And en Dennis suggested his 40% alcohol Red Label at his home- who can resist it? But I was still concerned with e idea of vehicle-less so I requested to return home and get my bicycle first, with e assurance I would not end up like Pang Seh King.
Bran's mum had come to pick Bran up from clementi and en Bran drove ( after 3 mouthfulls of beer from e dinner after losing to xueli in e art of cai quan ) and dropped wanyi and me off at our places.
And its been a while since I've nite cycled and I was really looking forward to cycling to Dennis' place as well as cycling back home, esp since I'm still under e influence of alcohol which make it pretty.. fun?
And e nite was cool, e roads 1/2 deserted and e bike was fast. I was perspiring like xiao when I reached Dennis' place in 20 min time, which I think is pretty decent.. Perhaps tatz y I wasn't thinking straight n went to e fourth floor instead of Dennis' 3rd floor and knocked on e door. I think I scared e 4th floor family pretty much (if they r still awake) and en when there was no response, I called dennis on his cell. And I think I scared Dennis too since he opened his door and find that there's no one there.. Haha.. But I heard Dennis opening e door downstairs and proceeded down.
Online we could see wy and bran, both of whom who r happily in their comfort zone, refusing to join us liaoz haha.. And Dennis generously poured us a cup of Red Devil on e rocks, and man.. e stuff is potent! And with e lights off we proceed to watch... The shutters. Now.. I'm e only one who had watched it before so I nue wats gg on. And under e effect of Red Label, nothing appear to be scary any more.. Even if e devil appear infront of us, I guess we'll probably juz kiss it.. And we were more concerned crapping along with e show so ws and dennis missed a few of e scary bits. And after downing 1 cup of e potent stuff, we were gan pua high liaoz. Esp me and Dennis ah.. Its e first time I was this high and I fell down from e chair twice, couldn't walk straight at all, and here I was toking abt cycling back home. Ya rite.. I'll confirm 110% meet with an accident ah.. And Dennis also brushed e walls while carrying a mattress for ws.
Once e show ended, and after a rough journey to e loo, we tried watching other shows.. But irreversible was french ( with no subtitles) and we like hell nue wat shit is gg on and other shows are either too wordly and we alreadly had problem trying to catch wat they were saying, less to understand em. And so once me and ws lay down on Dennis' bed, we were gone. I woke up in e middle of e nite to see somehow I got e whole bed to myself, WS having a whole mattress to himself and Dennis no where in sight.
Hmm..
And I concussed again.
Dennis' room do not haff any curtains so e sunlight was a natural wakeup call.. And I was hiding my face behind Dennis' desk for e sanctuary of e shadows, trying to gain as much sleep as possible for e upcoming ride back home. We woke at 9+ ah.. Poor Dennis was sleeping on e sofa but en somehow found himself on his parents' bed in e morning. And even poorer, he was having a hangover heh.. Luckily I resisted e 2nd cup of Red Devil or I'll be sharing e same fate. And poor WS was still in his monday best- i.e. shirt and pants..
We have had breakfast and en wish each other happy deepavali n farewell.
It was a beautiful morning.
So beautiful, you can't help but go sha la la in the morning..
