Pulau Ubin Rambutans!

Bday coming in 3days!! :D





Stayed up the whole night till Wednesday! Just for one thing.. PULAU UBIN TRIP! :D

Watched my drama until 9am, went to bathe. Grabbed my things and woohoo.. Off to hail a cab down to Changi Village market, meeting them at 10am.

I reached at around 9:55am haha, I dunno where exactly they were but I could not call them, so I randomly sit somewhere while waiting for their call or hopefully see them somewhere. Lol.





After everyone reached, we went to the ferry terminal. Waited quite long bcos there were not enough people for the first group yet. After the first group left, we didn't waited v long before we have enough people to go too(:


"Hello, Pulau Ubin! Long time no see!"



Haven't been there for many years already, many to the extend I dun even remember when was the last time, but I believe it was a school trip. Haha..





Rented bicycles. I had the 2 person one, bcos I don't know how to cycle haha! Yuki agreed to cycle with me, but half way she exchanged with Benny lol too tiring..

Went hunting for Rambutans, but those we found were not nice and too high haha. Then we came across this very sour fruit which Yuki and Richard uncle ate before and likes it. Benny climbed up the tree to cut it with the scissors-bamboo uncle invented hahaha! :D 2 bags full of it extracted.

Left to hunt for Rambutans again lol.. Cycle and cycle.. Cycle and cycle.. From approx. 12pm to 4pm, I think. Meanwhile nothing special/unusual happened. Oh I haven't mentioned the part when we were resting!

At almost around the end of the day, we went to the 2 temple there. Prayed at the first one then fed the turtle at the second one. After feeding the turtle, the guys went behind to pluck Rambutans whereas me and Yuki continued feeding them. Haha. Went up to look for the guys, helped out a little by picking up those they gathered and placed on the grass. && then..! 1 big bag(stock bag) of Rambutans extracted.






Do you have any idea what this is? (:

This is for 风生水起, some kind of luck thing lah.. As you rub against the handle of it, the water will have a vibrating effect and the water will spatter up, super nice and amazing I tell you. We also made wish at the wishing pond, I threw bloody 3 coins, none of it went into it. :( Ahh, my wish cannot come true already lahhh.. Benny Yuki and Jun An all got throw in, only I cannot. My aiming super lousy whywhywhwy!!!!!!!! D:

Yuki and I can make it really well, but Jun An and another angmoh there tried and they can't get it vibrating. :\ Well, the 2 of us are more lucky. :p



*only these 4 photos from me cos was too busy cycling*


Ride the bicycle back. God, I'm totally going to collapse. I'm so frigging glad that I don't know how to cycle. For about half of the time cycling with Benny, I was resting. Haha. :x

This trip gave me aches, legache, handache and also buttache. :( But well, worth the aching by this experience of extracting fruits with them. (:

After we got back to Changi Village, they split the fruits. I said I didn't want it already, but they still split a bag for me, around a quarter of the stock bag(:

Took it back happily while thinking my family can enjoy it.. I don't eat Rambutans and didn't really fancy the other fruit we got, so won't be happily thinking I'll be savouring them haha.

The first thing I did when I reached home: BATH!!! :D

I was so fucking glad I could finally bathe you know. I'm not very fond of getting myself dirty and sweaty. After I came out from my bath, guess what my Dad told me? He said "the fruits all spoil already lah, cannot eat liao, throw away" I was like.. -,- -,- -,- & he kept emphasizing that.

After he finished his dinner, I had my dinner too. && while I'm eating he emphasized to me again, "later you finish eating you pick out all the nice one, only got a few nice one, the rest all throw away" I said "orhhh" in a very unhappy tone.

After my dinner I wanted to rest for a while before doing my things, so went onto my bed. Who knows... I fell asleep after applying some medicated oil onto my fuckache right hand. I think it's bcos I went bowling the day before yesterday, then ytd I ride the bicycle, although I'm behind, but I still exert a lot of force on the handle(esp. when going down slopes. :\), scared mah!

&& it was only around 7plus in the night. :\

Today I woke up early in the morning 7am. Hahaha! :D

Went out to the living room and to my horror, I can't find my bag of fruits!! I called my Dad straight away though I already knew he must have threw it away. And yes, he threw it away. Bloody hell. So all of the hard work by uncle and co. went to waste. Kaoz, really waste manzxzzz, should have insisted on not bringing it back.

It's really abstruse for me. The Rambutans are from Pulau Ubin, we plucked it. How clean does he want it to look. The Rambutans colour were really nice bright red, though it has some parts where it's a bit more blackish, but inside is still very fresh and savoury! They tried it before plucking so much out. Duh!

Really can't stand my Dad. I'm so angry upon hearing he really threw all of it away! I should also throw away all the fruits inside the fridge now, insisting it's rotten already. Hmph!

Ok, I can't do it. I can't make myself do something that's wasting food.
