UBINice (无比Nice)After much contemplation, I decided to give up going for the family dim sum lunch to join BNT for Ubin cycling. I was greeted by the sounds of raindrops in the wee morning and felt a little glad that the cycling might be cancelled due to the rainy weather, which will allow me to sleep longer, and enjoy a lunch dim sum when I get up. Who knows, our chairman had decided to go ahead with our original plan just that we postponed the meeting time by an hour. Anw 7 of us made it, we could have more people, but due to truly unforeseen circumstances they could not join us.
It is my 1st time to Ubin after 21 years in Singapore, and I must say I was so shocked by the crowd there, which gives me a feel that I was in a Malaysia town. The weather was clear by then and once we got our bikes, we started riding with our chairman ZL heading the way. We made many stops here and there, to have coconut drink, eat, talk, rest and managed to trek quite a bit to the supposedly highest point in Ubin, which reminds me a little of a mini Sun Moon Lake. The view was fantastic!

The coastal Walk is awesome
After a fun and tiring National Day
KX calculated and said we cycled around 16km in total, and we probably treked 3km at least. That was so amazing, considering our very slack pace and we are just too good in finding excuses to rest all the time. Anw I tink it's a good start to more adventurous trips in the future! We then went TM for Pizza Hut since most of us were so gluttonised by the new cheese stick fondue. It was not bad, but I probably will not try it again. I like to spend a public holiday this way, instead of watching the predictable parade at home, which is no different every year. And if possible, I wanna be closer to nature and the sea :)
