Morning Walk @ Pulau Ubin And A Passing Of One Of Her Pioneers.....
Woke up early on Deepavali to go for a walk at Pulau Ubin today.
It's good to go early and leave early from Ubin on a long weekend as the crowds get bigger towards the late morning. When I came back on the mainland around noon, the queue for bumboats to Ubin extended all the way to the ground level at the jetty!
When I reached Ubin, I made my breakfast stop at Pak Ali's shop for their Lontong which only available on Sunday and sometimes on public holidays. And then a piece of sad news was told by a van driver to me that the owner of the shop, the friendly Pak Ali, had passed away last week. :( Sigh.....RIP Pak Ali. You will be deeply missed! More about Pak Ali on November's Pulau Ubin Stories.
After breakfast, I proceed with the objective of this trip, to take macro! And here are some shots;
