Map of Pulau Ubin
At the jetty entrance.....
Someone house ....not my grandparents' house.
The background used to be my grandparents' house, now there is nothing left to be seen....
This is the 'hub' of Pulau Ubin. The background is where the coffeeshops that my grandmother whom i called 'Ah Ma' used to sit all day long....gambling! But she is sure to stop her activity immediately when she saw us coming on a visit. This is the only road/route to my grandparent's house.
Hahaha this is my favourite spot. Come every 'Ghost Festival' my grandmother will call/visit us to inform us on the coming festival. The stage behind me is where they perfomed chinese wayang. My grandfather whom i called 'Ah Kong' will sure to reserve a spot to place our stools/benches somewhere infront the stage. I will faithfully spent my whole night watching the performance eventhough i knew nothing what they were saying......just kindda like the costumes, the music and their movements. How they sway their hands with their enormous sleeves, how they walk and how they move their body.....i love every part of it.
Went to visit my birth place on one of Singapore's island - Pulau Ubin (Ubin Island) 0n 2nd February 2008. I was supposed to fetch my father home from Changi General Hospital as he was to be discharged on this day. But due to heavy downpour, i was stuck on the island till past 2pm. Luckily my brother Manaf was there to fetch him home.
