Pulau Ubin
I had an urge to go to Ubin for some exploring, so I did. Albeit without a camera, for both my p-9 and Sl3000 ran out of battery.
Why did I want to go? I don't really know, but just that I know I haven't been there in 6 years. I like the feeling of roaming around that island. Ever since I've been back from Gunung Ledang, it seems like whatever nature has to offer in Singapore is so mild.
Arrival on the Island: After a little deliberation, the route was agreed on, and off we headed to Chek Jawa.

The flooded mangrove. Beautiful.
Taking a picture of houf taking a picture of me!

Actually, that island was much smaller than we had expected. an hour on the bike covered a great deal of the ground. Nonetheless, I was quite entranced by the rustic feel of the quite sleepy island.

After that, it was time to say good bye.

And that was a good trip!
It was one of the first few times using my V3 as a camera, and it is a poor substitute indeed.
By the way, the Singapore expo is a good place to go to ona quiet night. The Tandoori Place is quite good.
