rain, queue, durians, rambutans, cycling race in Ubin

We finally visited my fav island again. Although the intention is to fly Ophelia's kite, cycle and look out for durians since it's THE season, we realised this trip will be different the very moment we joined the long queue at the ferry terminal. There is a cycling race going on in Ubin. Who knows if we would also be caught in the race?!

Eager me and Ophelia were excitedly imagining the possibilities. We rented our rides from my regular uncle who always charge us lower and headed to our makan area where we picnic away while waiting for papa to meet us.

We went cycling with lighten load. I'd never want to cycle carrying a big bag of food prepared from home, among the cyclists who were furiously racing. Shasha got her first durian.

It was as if to race for who finds the freshly dropped durian against the other visitors. I really wonder why these people can find bags full of durians and rambutans when we found only 4, I think. None by me, of cos.. I was busy snapping pictures and cam whoring hehe. Sudden downpour caught us by surprise while we were cycling. Managed to get shelter at a resident's house.

I miss hearing the rain on the zinc tops. Watching the rain water the flowers and lush greenery simply brought smiles to my face. So pretty! I didn't see any rainbow after the rain. As usual, Ophelia and I joked and reminisced.

She was happy flying her kite cos the wind was strong and it flew higher. We were definitely surprised again when the queue for the bum boat is super long!
