Christmas eve camping at 🏖️ Pantai Morib
Was expecting to rain and windy but turned out to be good weather. Nothing better than enjoying the laughs with small group of friends while absorbing the vitamin sea.

3D2N at this newly opened campsite located at Pagoh. A good place for family camping, near to local eateries, 7-11, pharmacy and Mr Diy.

很有温度的营地，除了整个地方的设计很漂亮以外，营主的人也好好。
这里除了是营地也是民宿，发廊，咖啡屋也可以看到营主用心种植的植物。其他的不多说，看照片就知道这地方有多舒服。
记得去前一定要预约哦!

Long awaited hiking trip with my favourite hiking kakis. 3Days 2Nights well spent in the forest.
To summarize what I learnt:
-Act super fast when you see leeches, spray in the pocket all the time
-shower by the the river with icy cool water
-train well, pace well, conquer yourself not the mountain
I will be back for Gayong !

Good weather, good food, good companion

Photo boom pulak 🤦🤷

Sunday cycle and chill

Campsite: Ochard by Ong & Chan
Location: Simpang Renggam
Electric: at the hut only
Water pressure: very good
Toilet: very clean
Shower: yes, no heater
Network: Maxis and XOX so far good

A very nice campsite located near town. Owned by a lovely couple. From the landscape you can see how much love and effort owner has put in to maintain the ochard.

Owner of the ochard is very helpful and nice. It's cold at night probally also due to the rain. Campsite is clean and spacious. Nice view in the morning and i am a happy kid seeing all the greenery infront of me. Alot of flower blooming around the campsite which gives some touch of color between the greens. Overall very comfy and quiet place for us to escape from our busy life. I will definitely come back.

My first cycle to camp trip also first time experience camping in Singapore.

🏕️Location: Pulau Ubin Maman Campsite (they say this is the only campsite that allow campfire)

🚴Distance: total cycle +-43km from town, you have to take a ferry in to the island and cycle from jetty to campsite or can order a van taxi in the island, bicycle rental is available too.

💰Cost: campsite us free, apply permit from AXS , Ferry with bicycle per way 6SGD, without bicycle 4SGD

📡Network: connected to my Maxis line Malaysia and SG line is under roaming 😅
Tent: Naturehike Cloud Motorcycle Tent (very satisfying, good waterproof, come with 1 room 1 living, 4 opening perfect for ventilation, reasonable price)

Experience:
We arrive around 11.30am and start to unload from bicycle, suddenly comes group of monkey, and grab our chicken rice. We have to park our bikes close to us, while busy setting up tent. Suddenly one smart monkey come close to my bike and grab my stove which is in my bicycle carrier bag and my whole bike flip, broke our one and only gas cylinder, and the monkey is not afraid of people still trying to grab things from my bag. We manage to chase it away, slowly it started to rain (they say opening new tent must rain). We have to fight monkeys, build tent and also keep wood for cooking since no more gas. Very kelam kabut, but finally all sorted. Literally curi makan in the tent because afraid of monkey attack!
Not windy in the afternoon, very humid but still it's nice to just stay outdoor and listening to the rain drop and wave sounds. Suddenly our neighbors start shoo-ing, we saw a wild boar running to them to get food. 😨. So now we have another friend visiting us and we have to take care of it. It was a long rain, on and off drizzle until 4am. Our initial plan was to stay for 2 nights but after hearing another tent being attack midnight by monkey and stole their bread, we decided to just leave the next day morning.
Overall, I did enjoy the moment being out there, monkey is really annoying, but won't stop me from camping in Singapore but maybe not the same site anymore.
