Sunday, August 19, 2007 || touch with nature-pulau ubin trip 3

this is the visitors hub, where one can find many interesting and useful information about the natural habitats on ubin as well as the conservation message that should be pass down to everyone...it got a great view of the sea and definitely worth a visit to learn more about the island itself...





this is the rocky hill that i passed by on my way to the broadway, the only few places left in singapore with this nature rocks...


the lonely tree against the backdrop of the sea horizon, how true it is when there are times when we feel so lonely and deserted by everyone, in the vast ild world...



the mangrove areas in ubin, and mind you, there are really a lot a lof of mangroves habitat here, an eye opener for all kids...haha...




the shy crab, which i took a total of 20mins trying to capture a good shot...and mind you, i got bitten by tons of mosquitoes trying to suck my blood while shifting my camera around the crab for macro shot...but well, it's worth it, as i managed to got this shot...




here's the mudskipper, another playful animal who like to blend in witht he surrounding and luckily under my watchful eyes, i still managed to shot this photo, though it's not macro shot...haha...






this is the flower of the common food that we eat in ice kacang, the atachi...never know this until i came to this island, and i bet there are many other plants that we should pay more attention to as it is important in our daily lives...








the broadway leading towards the mangroves and the organisms living in the habitat...it was raining heavily at that time, so i took shelter in the tower, which allowed me to span the area of chek jawa...nice view too...







yup, the stairs leading up to the tower...not recommand for the faint heart and those afraid of heights...







the greetings from the island as i walked towards the main town...how different it is from singapore streets...

before you say an unkind word think of someone who can't speak before you complain about your food think of someone who has nothing to eat before you complain about life think of someone who went too early to heaven before you argue about cleaning your house think of the people who are living in the streets before whining about the distance driving to school think of someone who has to walk the same distance before complaining about your job think of the unemplyed desperate for work before you point finger or condemn another remember no humans is perfect when depressing thoughts seem to get you down thank all those around you who encourage you remember to give love always to others
