13th May Saturday

I went to a few interesting places recently. Due to work, I have to travel to the Supreme Court and the China Embassy. When I went to the Supreme Court, to tell you the truth, I was quite nervous about entering such a solemn place. When I was there, I saw the famous Indian lawyer, whom I believe is the defendent lawyer of the Ah Took for the Huang Na's case. I thought, woah, there is going to be a important hearing today. As I was thinking, suddenly I saw a camera facing me. Bloody hell! It was the tv crew! I hope that I was not being filmed down. Did any of you saw me on the news? *Concern* Anyway, when I reached level 4, where the Singapore Academy of Law is located, I saw A LOT of people waiting outside the court rooms. I heard from an uncle that this hearing was for the Liu Hong Mei's court case. She was the China woman who was murdered and chopped up by her secret lover. That explains why there was a crowd. I didn't know Singaporeans are so "concerned" to rush down to the court by 8am to listen to the court hearing. (They are mostly retired uncles and aunties and this also explains why there was a crowd.) It reminds me of the Roman matches where Romans gathered at the Colosseum to watch a man fight against a wild beast, eg lion. Seems that people still have taste for blood.

I finally went to Ubin yesterday. It's been a year since I last set foot on Ubin. Things have changed. The jetty at Singapore has upgraded and there are staffs to organise the boarding of the boats. The toilets have been upgraded. There are more eateries. They are building a watch tower at Chek Jawa. Ubin has lost one of the two remaining wild boars on the island. Ubin is going to lose its flavour once it becomes modernise. I guess it is like a see-saw, you can never get a balance.
Yesterday it was the first time I met up with my colleage, Maggie's, friends. Our group has a wide range of ages. From age 17 to 40! So I was quite scare I might not fit in. But in the end it was enjoyable to be with them because they are friendly and crack the wildest jokes. The guys are also gentlemanly. I like guys who are gentleman. *Smiles* Well, here's some of the photos we took.


On the way there...


Nordin Beach


One of the many rests we took.


Meet Jack. He's the sole survivor. Be honoured.

We thought we are not going to leave the island alive. That is until Superman arrives. Look at how happy we smiled. He's our hero.


Now I'm back in good old clean, modernise Singapore and I'm starting to miss Ubin. The air, the smell, the habitants, the rides, the companionships....

I'm so confused. I'm scare it might be a big joke.
