Rustic Pulau Ubin
itunes: Rosemary Clooney, Forever Girl Singer (2002)
For the first time in my entire life, I stepped into the sunny rustic Pulau Ubin this morning. Come to think of it, exactly the same time last Saturday, I was at Hong Kong's Lamma Island 南丫岛 trekking. Yeah, cant get enough of the greens and fresh air. The first step into Pulau Ubin is like walking back in time, back to the rural 70's Singapore....
Bumboat to Pulau Ubin.
Main street of the kampong.
The shop where we rent the bikes to explore the island. For S$8, one can have the bike the whole day until 6pm. We were worried about the bikes as they are not allowed into the Chek Jawa wetland region. The kind lady shopkeeper simply gave us only a long rope to tie the bikes together without a lock. She reassured us that there are no bike theft on the island and the rope is meant for identification purpose. True enough, our bikes are still around after the Chek Jawa trip. That's the kampong spirit!
Tsk tsk, the next low tide is 10pm tonight. Looks like there is nothing much to see at Chek Jawa.
The jetty and the waterfront.
The countryside road.
The kampong hut.
The disused Ubin quarry.
Rubber tapping.
Chek Jawa Wetlands
Here we are, the Chek Jawa Wetland. A place full of rich ecosystems, observable when low tide. Sigh no luck today.
Jejawi Tower.
View from the top.
The Mangrove Boardwalk, begins in the shadows of Attap Palm leaves.
This is Attap Palm. The first time I see the raw attap seed after eating so much ice kacang. The leaves are used to make attap huts in the older kampong days.
Sapling of new life sprouting.....a sign of hope
Mangroves
Seagrass Lagoon
The Coastal Boardwalk
Coastal Forest
This is the place where one can observe the coral rubble and the diversity of marine life during low tide.
