Pulau Ubin - Where Time Stands Still...
Sunday, December 23, 2007 @ at
Haven't been updating my blog regularly... Wanted to come in and update but was too lazy and tired to do so. Xmas coming... Everyone busy with shopping and gifts exchange. Had my Company Xmas Party last Wed. Went to the Yatch Club at West Coast. Nice place to be in... Won Isetan Vouchers in a last minute put-up Lucky Draw. Hehe... more reasons to shop right? :P
Anyway, just came back from Pulau Ubin with Dearie. Our first stayout together... Even though it was just to Pulau Ubin... Were there on a 2 day 1 night stay. Oh my... Really felt quite handicapped over there. No internet access, only had Channel 8 to watch. 1 restaurant only to settle our food. Tat restaurant opens from 8am - 8pm. Told Dearie to eat to his full as over that end, there is no way we can call for Pizza Hut or KFC or MacDonalds! No one will be able to do that kind of delivery if we are hungry in the middle of the night. We went around and took some photos. Didn't go to explore the rest of Ubin. Was just happy to stay around the resort area. Scared of those unknown and crawlies lurking around... By the way, I saw a 4 legged lizard at the Ferry Terminal! Otherwise known as "Si Jiao Se"... Luckily it was on the beach. Super faraway from me. I screamed a while and Dearie got a slight shock on how come I suddenly screamed and went to pull him to see it. hehe...
Saw some interesting things over there. They have Wishing well, Jacuzzi, Vending machines, etc. Didn't know we could bring our own drinks. Went there only armed with some tibits. Bought a bottle of Pokka Green tea from there. Guess how much it costs us? FOUR BUCKS!!! Daylight robbery right? Wahaha... Monopoly over there. If we are not willing to spend, then we can only boil water to drink from our room. Anyway, we have learnt our lesson. Advise to people who intend to go and have a night of resort stay... bring your own drinks. Even though they did say outside food is not allowed... but nothing on drinks ya? :P
Good to spend a weekend away resting and doing nothing much. If you are prepared to put all behind and go to a place when Time really stands still... go to Ubin. It's just 20 mins of Ferry ride away. Took a lot of pictures. Posted them in Facebook. Here is the link if you are interested to take a look... http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=10812&id=708257318&l=b3beb&ref=share
Intending to go Thailand next year... Can't wait. Happy to be able to spend time with Dearie, exploring new places together. Hehe... :)
Went to PS after we reached Mainland. Dearie accompanied me to go and take a look at my Make-over pics. Able to collect the Album etc on New Year Day. I am excited. Dearie said I looked nice... hehe... Can't wait. :P
Me and Dearie caught "National Treasure". Nice nice! Happy but yet a little sad ending. Nevertheless, bad guys always die most of the time. Enjoyed the movie. Went home at around 5+. Train was super crowded. A lot of people alighted at Orchard. Guess people are really doing their very last minute Xmas shopping. Tomorrow is Xmas eve. I am going to go Dearie's auntie's place. Got to wait for him to off work though. Will be on half day tomorrow. Not intending to go elsewhere. Will head home and wait for Dearie to off work. :)
Yawn... feeling tired as I blog. Yet to wrap some of the presents for my colleagues. Shall end here... Tata...
