The Great Pulau Ubin Getaway!

We spent a glorious day cycling our butts off at Pulau Ubin yesterday. Some serious exercise, believe me... especially after half a day of ice skating just the day before! :D It was great fun though, a pretty romantic day away from the routine. And the scenery!! We got to this spot at the end of one bike trail northwest of the island.. and were duly rewarded. The water was so clear we could see tiny fishies chasing each other! Even the clouds are beautiful~~~ :) 


Ubin has a coupla small beaches too, up North. Just before reaching the island, we spotted this little container ship (looks like one to me). Wonder what those green structures on each side of the ship are for?? 


Did I mention the myriad of interesting creatures n plants on the island? On our way cycling up to the beaches, I spotted this cute plant (anyone knows its name??) in one of the native ppl's garden. Reminds me of lollies!! haha~~~ on second thought, those bright red flowers are smooth n velvety, not unlike a cat's tail... hmmmm.  


And then there's the majestic peacock with tail feathers twice as long as its body!! woohoo~~~ he even opened it up for a quick show-off before I could take out my camera... hahaha... must've been just teasing us, since there ain't any female peacocks around! 


Here's another one... just before he attacked my canon powershot s400!! **peck!**
