22nd May (土曜日) - 重返 Pulau Ubin/ Chek Jawa （第一卷）

三年前，去了一趟乌敏岛(Pulau Ubin)以及仄爪哇湾(Chek Jawa),对它念念不忘.
三年后,又一时兴起,重返乌敏岛以及仄爪哇湾...看看它有没有任何的改变.

在樟宜码头(Changi Jetty)等待船开动的当儿,随手拍了以下照片:



快靠岸了!



终于到了!



先和‘当地‘的狗狗们打声招呼...



再去租一辆适合自己的脚踏车!



在骑去仄爪哇湾的途中，我们时不时会经过或发现一些有趣的风景。
例如，较‘新式‘的甘榜木屋...



被废弃已旧的甘榜木屋...





以及突然出现在我们眼前却又很快消失不见的山猪.



骑了一个钟头左右才终于抵达仄爪哇湾！







在大伙儿忙着各拍各的当儿（以下图片参杂了几位路人甲）...



我便跑到一边去观赏自然生态。例如以下照片显示 (^＿^)



待了好一会儿，有人不小心滑倒了，必须去清洗一番.
于是我们大伙儿便到附近的 House number 1 去小休片刻，顺便换换拍照的地点.
那时间，突然觉得又累又饿。幸好过来乌敏岛之前有自备一些三文治，否则一定会饿死.
我和Tuk还到 House number 1 前面的小码头去慢慢品尝那些三文治.



正当我们要离开到 mangrove boardwalk 时，Tuk 突然发现宝了！
原来是一只超大又肥的毛毛虫！这可是我有生以来，看过最大只的毛毛虫了.
在近距离拍它时，(我）全身的毛都站了起来。但同时间，又觉得它很可爱。真矛盾.







后来回家上网查了才知道它是 Atlas Moth 的宝宝.
Atlas Moth 属于世界上最大型的飞蛾之一。它的 wingspan 能长到25至30cm 那么宽.吓死人了！

（再续...）

Sleepless nights...

Retaining my sanity

The past 2 weeks have been hell. Or perhaps I should say that the devil himself has been beckoning me to cross over to the dark side. I've been trying to rein my temper in and pretty much mentally handcuffing myself to refrain from "strangling" people, even the innocent ones who happen to be in my way.

Same old issue. People pooped and I've gotta pick up their shit. Not literally, of course. But it still drains me out. Arghhh... I've been stepping on many people's shoes over the past 2 weeks because of the mess I got to pick up and I kind lost my patience and the ability to think before I act. Now, I'm kinda acting what I feel more than acting on what is right or better. Not fair to those innocent ones. Not professional either. I know. I'm trying. Sigh.

Like what I've been telling my boss - you know there's this saying that sometimes you feel like there's someone watching or following you. But when you turn around, there's no one there? In my case, replace the stalker with a thorn. Yes. A thorn in my ass. One that you can't locate and can't remove. Stuck so deeply within that all you can do is to live with it and curse it to your very core. Yup. That's how I've been feeling almost everyday. Arghhh...

Average work day starts from 10am to 2am. And after 2 hrs of winding down (which includes having my supper plus some light reading), I got into a state of insomnia. Sigh. Thankfully (though ironically), the picking of poop tires me out by now (as well as the volatile emo/ stressed state I'm in) and I pretty much just slumped into sleep almost immediately after hitting the bed. Ahh... at least I'm getting some sleep. Never mind having to skip breakfast, lunch and dinner over the past 2 weeks, at least poop-picking is almost done - or so I willed myself to believe. Supper is pathetic but it fills the stomach.

The past 2-3 days have been slightly better. At least I managed to grab some late lunch and dinner now before working the shifts. And if one of my major projects is to go as per planned, hell's gonna break loose. Let's see how it goes.

For now, apart from lunches/ dinners, the occasional brilliant sunset and clear blue sky views from my office will be my greatest comfort.
