"Leave the World behind......."
Saturday
Long day again today. After my morning classes, we headed to Pulau Ubin for trekking and cycling.
Overall, it was a gd experience coz i've never been to Ubin before. And i enjoy trekking and exploring new places. I thank God for the weather because it wasn't too hot. There was an interesting place in Ubin that we visited. We had to climb up to this highest point in Ubin? It's called the Quarry. It overlooks this very beautiful lake-looking thingy that was said to contain only rainwater. It's seldom u get to see such a sight in Singapore but i'm glad we made it up there.
We got ard mostly by cycling except for the time where we hiked up to the Quarry. Interesting to see fruit trees (rambutan) along the way, edible flowers/fruits etc. Thank God for bikes with adjustable suspensions.
While cycling, many tots came to my mind. As usual, along came the reflective mood. It's interesting that some of these physical activities can cause a stirring in my emotions and they just pierced right thru my heart.
'Neway, the sky started to suggest that the weather would turn unfriendly pretty soon. We decided to head back to the jetty. We didn't exactly rush, still cycled casually. When we finally got to the jetty, we could already feel drops of water. (Bout 1 drop per 5 seconds) But then, that didn't stop some of us from taking our own sweet time to snap some last shots. From a distance, rain could literally be seen coming towards us from the Changi Jetty. Yet, i was just trying to test the rain's patience by still taking my own sweet time to snap some last photos.
Finally the rain poured. It was SUPER HEAVY and we were forced to run for the shelter!! It's amazing to see how God was so in control of the whole day's weather. He planned everything right down to the details for us. We managed to hop into our little sampan and took a very cooling and entertaining ride back. Thank God for providing that boat that so protected us from the HEAVY RAIN!!! When we reached back to the Changi Jetty in a matter of like 10min? The rain stopped too...that is what i call DIVINE PLANNING.
All in all, i thank God for today, because i know He planned the day for us.
Had dinner at KFC, Sengkang. Walked ard for a while till everyone decided it was time to head home.
We went to Bedok Reservoir. Yes, it's one of the places on my to-go list. i so love the serenity there. i love the swing and the see-saw....my deprived childhood came to light. Thanks, coz ur always bringing that smile to my face. =)
Welcome to the East.
