They are actually transporting water to the kelongs or they call it fish farms nearby. So it was pretty interesting to see them throw buckets of water up and down the boat. Then again, after looking at the way they transport the water… never mind…


Love the retro phones!
2ish pm


Sea Dog!

Horseshoe crab! Now that is something you don’t see every day! Unless you live in Ubin or something.

Feeding the Archerfish. It is really interesting minus the insect part.

fugu!
In other words, death by suffocation so that the humans have a fantastic Facebook photo.

Our ‘hotel’ on the sea with tiles


Old VS New
4 pm -Heatstroke.


Deep blue


More blue and purple!

Building, building

I love markets!

(:
Which brings me to the point that you will never escape technology…

I want an iPhone too T_T
9ish pm.

Fireworks! In Kukup!
To top it off, there was even a ‘kong ming teng’ Or lanterns like what you would see in those Taiwanese brochures to make you so jealous that the government in Singapore would probably fine you if you play with those lanterns in Singapore…
Basically, you write your wishes on the lanterns and the wind will carry your wishes with it and from what I can understand according to my half-ass Mandarin, the gods will see the wishes and grant it for you! So stuff like: ‘I will join Magnum/ VII photo agency’ should be written in bold and really big letters in case the gods can’t see them.
In any case, the night was absolutely magical and watching the lights in the lantern flicker to the far ends of the sea really gives you a scale of how small you are as compared to the vast world out there.

Note: I did not write the ‘I want to be slim wish!’ (:

Its really magical to see the lantern fly away with your wishes…

It’s hard to show as they are so tiny, but the sky had about 10 lanterns at one point of time!
Day 2
7 am. CRANKY
Yes, I am always cranky at 7 am but that is also because some moron decided to hog the karaoke set and screamed her lungs away till some 2 am in the morning. It was that bad…

Not too bad for a 3s handheld shot:3
At 9ish, I bid my farewells to the old yet new village and was glad I got to experience such a magical night(:

Love love this! It’s like she was modelling or something 8D
Next, we had a horrendous bus ride to a durian plantation. It was probably a 3ish hours ride that drove me nuts. Thank god I had Zack Arias on my iPod Touch and I finally caught up with some of the CreativeLive lessons.

Super games! How nostalgic.

They grow on trees!
When we finally bumped our way into the durian plantation, I was so exhausted. Long bus rides just suck the living soul out of you…
It’s not exactly the highlight of the trip but its a durian tree! I had the strangest feeling that durian grew underground… Never mind that(:
So durians, Smell, Sun, People, Me? dying…
The busload of people are like a pack of wolves tearing the durians apart and wolfing them down as fast as possible. It was like they just came from a weight watchers program and they have to eat as fast and as many as possible or not they will have nothing to eat for the next 3 months…

Look at the durian on his mouth! Epic!

It was a durian massacre as shells after shells were cracked open… The gluttony of human will never be satisfied!
In any case, this brings me to the end of my trip. Unless you want to hear me rant about the bloody fingerprint scans I had to do in the customs.
I had fun. Had a lot of sleep and a good rest which was completely destroyed by NAPFA (a fitness test) some three days later.
Hope you guys enjoyed the images(:
Drop me an email if you want me to blog about certain stuff! am running out of good ideas>.<
