HX's Potential GF Closed Up Photo (Lu Rong)

First time HX bring another girl for us to see.. Brave HX.. Finally is doing something for himself.. Anyway Cristy commented that HX Kor kor is a nice guy.. So he still got hope lor.. :)

German's Girl Shrine

The history of this shrine goes all the way back to 1914. Behind a secluded timber temple located at the northern coast of Pulau Ubin, there is a tragic urban legend unknown even to many Singaporeans. Strangely, inside the temple, you will find two physical objects as the centerpiece of worship. One is a beautiful porcelain urn placed on top of the altar, the other is merely a piece of rock of a football size on the floor under the altar. These two artifacts closely associate with a deceased white German girl who was mystified as a local deity in almost ninety years ago.

In August 1914, at the outbreak of WW1, British troops at night came to raid and prosecute a German merchant who owned a coffee plantation business and lived in Pulau Ubin. A young German girl who is the daughter of the merchant became frightened and ran away. Because it was dark at night, the girl fell down a cliff and was killed when her head hit on a piece of rock. The body of the innocent girl, however, was discovered by the local laborers on the next days, covered by termites. Out of kindness, they did more than just giving her a proper burial; a Kramat (a worship shrine) was built for her on the hilltop.

Years later, due to the development of quarry excavation on the hill, her remain was exhumed and transferred to another temple at the northern coast. What belonged to her, the remains that were put in a porcelain pot and this 'rock of destiny' were moved too.

The villagers continued to visit the new temple to pray.Through the passage of time, the shrine has grown into a popular place of spirit worship for the villagers because of the allegedly efficacious supernatural power of the German girl. Many worshippers especially the gamblers had their wishes granted.

Happy 42nd Birthday, Singapore!

While planning for an outing for National Day, decided to have some exercise involved (cos i grew really fat after the unhealthy Europe trip)

Before going there, i reminded Ah Ling to bring her passport (to tease her as it was her first time to Ubin) Mummy made lots of yummy food for us to bring.. Egg Sandwiches, Fried Noodles and her famous Yam Cake.. The Kiasu people like us brought cap, sunblock, water, extra t-shirt, towel and lots of money.. :)

Seriously.. I cannot be bothered to look good as no handsome guys there in Ubin.. So I was placed on the worst dressed list with boyish, fatty looks.. Who knows.. Hahaha!! :D

We started looking for budget bicycles.. Finallt ended up at the last shop.. Got our bikes at $7 for the entire day.. Only Cynthia paid $12 for hers as she wanted something better.. (Cos she cant really cycle lor.. Lousy..)

We spend our holiday on Ubin Island, exploring the entire island. Was really tiring as there were lots of upslopes.. Sian.. :P We cycle to Chek Jawa, Temples in Ubin, German Girl's Shrine, Quarrys, Ubin resort (for lunch), Jetty and other coconut drink stops.. :)

Poor Cristy fell badly cos she was looking at an old toilet which she finds amusing.. Tsk tsk.. Lots of Tender Loving Care from SK & HX.. Lucky girl :)

They cleaned up her wound at Ubin Resort where we had our lunch as the other resturants near the jetty were overcrowded due to overwhelming tourists from Singapore Main Land.. So smart little Cindy brought them to a place where you can find decent food and NO CROWD AT ALL.. I told them about the 3 giant fish in the Ubin's pond.. And they were amazed..

Had a great time and enjoy seeing new couples together.. Let's us all pray for 1st couple (HX & Lu Rong) and 2nd Couple (SK & Cristy) Hehe.. :)

The worst thing about the trip was waiting for Cynthia.. We were supposed to meet everyone at Tampines interchange 9am.. We reached at 9.30 instead.. Then when selecting our bikes, she went to the toilet and made us waited another 15min for her under the hot hot sun.. We sweat like pigs lor (i think even worse than pigs...)

I really enjoyed myself though i don't think i loss any weight.. Love the fresh coconuts.. And the kampung way of living.. And we went back at least $20 poorer.. Haha!
