Before I go off totally off tangent…

Yah, Pulau Ubin is very different now. The first time I went there, I was in Secondary 2. That was… 1991? Not that I’m very old but *ahem* in those days, it was still possible to ‘topo’. In fact, that was where I learnt how to navigate with a map and compass.

Now, a lot of the tracks have been properly paved, and there’s the colourful NParks map to help people get around. I still prefer the old topo maps which they used to sell at the bicycle rental stores. Unfortunately, I don’t have a copy any more.

We should still treasure Ubin. One day, perhaps not long from now, our Gahmen will decide that PROGRESS takes top priority, so Ubin might become a HDB estate (as it has been suggested) or worse, an Integrated Resort.

Okay, I’ll give credit where it is due: they did listen when Chek Jawa was threatened. (Still… it’s more of a stay of execution than anything else.)

Ooops. Straying again.

Chun See, I suggest you join the Pedal Ubin! ride. I’m sure they’ll make your morning there interesting and informative.

I went last year for a hike and cycling - not much fun. Too crowded. Somehow, its not like the Ubin I used to know from the army days.
