Pulau Ubin, a rustic island at its very best.
Drag myself off bed early this morning to follow my parents and relative to Pulau Ubin, always wanting to go there but still waiting for my classmates to organise a trip there. Who cares.. i go ahead first.. muahaha!
First impression, its a place that you would never ever find anywhere else in Singapore, a very laid back village where it present a lifestyle of the 60's. Stunned by all the shophouses as i make my way across "town" to an open court where mini vans await us to bring us to Chek Jawa. Shophouses are basically old and simple design, lifestyle is simple where you don't find any fast food, shopping mall or other things that could be found on the mainland, a perfect representation of the 60's. Vehicles that drive around "town" belongs to an era which could no longer be found on the roads of mainland.
Chek Jawa, a "nature reserve" on the eastern part of the island. A place where you can get really close to Singapore's marine life. Lots of marine life over here, but you can only discover this part during low tide. Did lots of shots today, will post it up as soon as post production is done.
I would love to return back there one day and trek around this rustic island on bike taking a closer look to this rustic beauty. Hopefully, this island will be kept as what it is today and development will take place in a minor scale as to keep the beauty of this island alive.
