Today I went Pulau Ubin to cycle. This is my first exercise since my fracture about 4 months ago. Cycling is one exercise that the doctor has mentioned I can do. :)
I was a bit apprehensive at first but I decided to give it a try. Made me go back to my first traffic light crossing after the fracture where I had exactly the same feeling.
Just before I left, I put on a foot guard just in case. I gingerly took the bike and started cycling. It was so great to be able to cycle again! Though my stamina had clearly dropped from a lack of exercise, I was just happy to be on the move again.
Pulau Ubin has changed quite a lot. The last time I was there must be three years ago. Talking to the Uncle from the Orchid Farm was interesting. I could still remember his rabbits and boar. Now most of them have died. He is left with 2 rabbits and 1 very young boar. Through him, I learned about the latest developments on Pulau Ubin.
Pulau Ubin still retains its charms though it seems less rustic. There are more fences and paved roads. Still it is a place worth going.
