When we arrived at Pulau Ubin, we were greeted by the ever faithful rhino that stands watch at the bay of the little isle.
Thanks to Ailei (who organised everything) and to Andrew (who so patiently guided us along each step), we urbanites were getting a tour around Pulau Ubin, trekking along to discover what nature holds for us in this part of the world. Before you think it's a long hike, well no, we've got 9 kids with us and at some point of time, some would want to be carried, fed, pushed along in a buggy or go pee(oh actually, we're quite lucky since it was a hot day, water loss was by another route!), take a break, explore the nature, smell the leaves, touch the rocks or even stare at a spider. So 2 hours were really the maximum that the kids could handle and, we all did it! Lo hicimos! Are you doing a number now? Think Dora!
The Lipstick Plant
When the seeds are crushed, they give a red stain. A natural food colouring used for butter and cheese, for example, to give the bright yellow.
A-carrying, an-exploring, a-tasting...
a-pushing, a-stopping, a-feeding... :)
a-flicking of rocks to a-burning of jackfruit plant? LOL!
a-studying of barnacles...
a-making of lalang arrows and a-fighting...
a-smiling in front of ermmm... dead coconut leaves?
a-resting, a-smiling, a-snapping away for the parents...
Oh.. that's just me, reminiscence of mailboxes and gates I haven't seen for the past 25 years!

wow!!! Didn't even realised you had done a one-off super blog! Your photos are as usual, gorgeous lah. Even the spider ones though they creep me out. I almost expect them to crawl out of the screen...
The rhino rock is awesome! I never knew about that...
Yep... we wouldn't have known about the rhino rocks t too if it hadn't been for Mr Andrew - our guide. Really nice chap.
Hee... you like the spiders... I told my husband I could do a better shot with a macro lens... hope he got my hint! ;)
