Chek Jawa Trip

Mommy brought Zane and I to Chek Jawa on 27 May. We woke up very early in the morning, got ready and left Grandma's house at 6.30 am. We took a taxi to the Changi Ferry Terminal to meet the other aunts and their children. The aunts, Mrs Tok, Mrs Lai and Mrs Tan arrived at about 7am.

We then took a boat to Pulau Ubin where we transferred onto a van to Chek Jawa. We met the guide Uncle Alan and he brought us on the trail, telling us the names of the plants and animals we saw on our way and explaining their behaviours.

I saw and touched many sea creatures which I've never seen before. Uncle Alan told us that we were very lucky to see some rare animals on the shore. I saw the keyhole sand dollar, not a common sight. I picked up a few sand dollars in the sand and threw them into the water. I also saw sea anemone, mantis shrimp, mussels, barnacles, oysters, fiddler crabs, mudskipper and many other animals. When the tide started to come in we backtracked inland.

Then we climbed the Jejawa Tower. At the top, Uncle Alan pointed to us Pulau Tekong and told us that daddy had gone their for his army training.

It was very interesting to learn about the behaviours of the animals at Chek Jawa. I also made friends with the other children. I enjoyed myself very much although it was very tiring. I wish I can go there again.
