Pulau Ubin

It has been at least five years or more ago since I last visited Pulau Ubin. Recently, a friend of mine organised a Pulau Ubin treasure hunt cycling trip for a group of NYP/ITC students and he invited me along. Since I love nature, cycling, photography and mingling with young people, I agreed to tag along.

Pulau Ubin has not changed very much in all those years except there are now more bicycle rental shops and coffee shops near the jetty. There is also a new 7th storey tower and a stretch of boardwalk at Chek Jawa. We were very lucky because the weather held up pretty well while we carried out the treasure hunt games. Just as we were leaving, it began to rain but only for a short while.

Although my team came in second last for the treasure hunt, I really enjoyed every bit of it. And being the oldest guy in the group, I was asked to give out the prizes to all the winning teams. Seeing all the youngsters that were half my age and some much younger, inevitability gives me a feeling that I'm really getting old. The only blessing is I still have the stamina to keep up with them! Guess what? I even received a Certification of Appreciate for participating in the activity!

Here are some pictures taken during the treasure hunt. If you like to see more of the Pulau Ubin pictures, kindly go to my pictures website:

This is the last set of photographs shot on my Olympus UZ570 camera. I have since trade-in the camera for a Canon 5DMKII battery grip.
