Family Outing

After gym on Friday, Dad decided to visit Ethel at her house in Changi. And so, he picked me up from Bukit Batok CSC and drove us to Changi.



After an uneventful lunch, we decided to do something impromptu. I love such things! Give you a clue on what we did.



















Yes! We went Pulau Ubin! It was my Mum's first time there. My dad has not stepped onto Ubin for 30 years! He told me that last time, there was no shops or any eateries. Just jungle.

My Dad has such a rubbery face. Haha! One of these days, I will post all his pictures in one entry titled "The Cam Whore Lives in My Dad". Haha!

We were not dressed appropriately. I was in my denim skirt. Lady Luck was on my side, preventing me from falling into the water while boarding and alighting the Bum boats. Needless to say, none of us brought mosquito repellent. However, only I got bitten by the blood suckers. Maybe Lady Luck decided to take a toilet break at that moment.

We took the Ubin's Taxi to Chek Jawa. It was quite cheap. We only need to pay $20 to and fro Chek Jawa. It was cheaper than renting bikes. Well, we could not cycle anyway. Me and my cousin in our skirts, Dad don't know how to cycle, Ethel's feet couldn't even reach the pedals...




Chek Jawa is still as I remembered it to be. Dad, being his lazy self, refused to go to the watch tower. So we only walked around the Exhibition house and the coastal walk. We only walked for about 15 minutes before Dad decided to leave. Grrr... Such a waste of money. When we reached the van, the driver, an ah pek, had not even finished his smoke. Hmm... Typical of my Dad.

And so it was back to Singapore. Although it was just a short trip, I really enjoyed it very much. I just love spending time with my family, showing them what I love and what I enjoy doing. =)
