it was an unusual public holiday for me today. went to Pulau Ubin!!!
ok, i m suakoo.. i've never been there before.
went there with my sec sch frens today..
cos it's Vesak Day and there are a few temples there so
there's a lot of people. boarding the ferry.. a thought came to me:
the bumboat owners.. they do earn a lot!!!
each passenger, $2. each trip, 12 passengers - $24. 10 minutes per way.
i think one hour they can at least make five trips? that's like $120 per hour!!
ok, that's if it's peak on public holidays and the boats can be filled up quickly.
@ Pulau Ubin, a lot of vans shuttling in and out cos of the temple-goers.
a lot of bicycles for rental also, from $3 but we went for the $12.
like suckers huh? but cos there's too many stalls there and we just
settled for the one who approached us and the bicycles were
pretty decent too.. it's new Raleigh ones.
cycling in Pulau Ubin is really NO JOKE!!!!
we cycled continuously for one hour and i think i can surrender already.
a lot of slopes, a lot of uneven surfaces, with small stones and rocks,
that's if u go off the cycling path and venture into "new broadway".
minus-ing the time we rested, i think we cycled for like two hours?
den we headed back for Singapore before the rain.
i think nobody will believe that my friend and i,
the two who surrendered first were actually ex-basketball players.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT MYSELF TOO!
i think exercising is really a discipline thing.. you really gotta be
disciplined and keep to it and good health, stamina etc.. will stick to you.
my tiredness after the whole cycling thing is like i've exercised non-stop
for one whole day! it's really killing.. even at this moment that i m typing,
my legs are freaking aching!!!!
and as usual, i m looking like a lobster now but not sun-burnt yet.
my arms are red, the part exposed to the sun when you are cycling..
and my face too. i always look like i'm such a healthy person with
rosy cheeks after i m exposed to the sun for some time.
ok, i guess it's time.. that i need to be disciplined about exercising so
i can have good health and not complain after a damn cycling trip... -.-|||
