chek jawa

amazingly healthy soft coralsclick for pics...

months after chek jawa in pulau ubin was narrowly saved from the evil crutches of economic development gone haywire, i finally got to go there this morning with my sister.

the lowest tide of 0.2m came in at an unearthly 8.20am (and the next one was only at 8.20pm! darkness!), which meant that we had to get up at 5.30 am to get to the island on time. but believe me, it was well worth every bit of effort!

to prepare ourselves, we diligently printed out the whole long checklist of ultra-cool stuff we were supposed to see, as well as this funny hand-drawn map of exactly where we were supposed to see them.. unfortunately, we didn't manage to see the seahorse, the octopus, the starfishes and the horseshoe crab.. felt a little bit cheated..

click to see what we saw instead.. pretty nice anyway, huh? :)
