It's dripping when we arrive at Ubin jetty, and there are huge clouds
over Chek Jawa itself...it doesn't look good... |

I'm sure they did Ley Kun as you were there to guide them :-)
Fortunately, the rain held off just long enough for us to have
a look out at the sand bar.
leykun Posted on 26/07/04 11:27 Hi, I invited my husband's
nephew Elite and his friends to the CJ walk. They are all CJ
first-timers. Hope they had a good time at one of the natural
marvels of Singapore. Leykun |

Last look at wet, damp Chek Jawa from Ubin jetty. Sigh. Who do we
blame for the rain now? The usual suspects not present or even nearby.
Could it be one of the regulars? *gasp*...or...God forbid...Could
it be just pure luck? nooo....can't be. The saga continues... |
