Yeah! Such a beast. Mad how they can just camouflage too.

There is a public bus that can drop you off right outside about a 8-10 min ride from an MRT station.

Aww hey! Do say hi next time ☺️ thanks for the encouragement, means a lot.

@@WONDERLUSTworld Will do! I didn't want to disturb you guys filming the B roll of the chairs haha

Hahaha 🤣 I’m sure we look quite odd sometimes filming.

@@WONDERLUSTworld Haha! i initially was like "hey those people look kinda familiar " then I realised it was you guys just recording an awesome video! 🤣

Hey Linus - yeah that was me! Was rushing to get back to work! Hahah. Appreciate you getting in touch. You’re a bassist?

Oh my no way!!!!

We appreciate the kind words!

Thanks! Happy Lunar New Year to you and your husband too.

@@WONDERLUSTworld Are you guys celebrating the lunar new year this month? 😊

We haven’t decided quite what we’re doing at home yet but we have a reunion dinner with all of Jonty’s family. How about you?

@ I am having my reunion dinner tomorrow evening. 😊

We'll see what we can do! 😉

The tides going in and out make it feel like two different places across the day with the different sights and animals that come and go with the tides.

Thank you for the kind words, we are doing well 😊

Hope to see you guys soon. 😊

Haha 😛 you know us well. It’s monsoon season so I just need the rain to stay away.

hahah hands is the right way for sure.

Glad you could see that through this video, we really had the best time making it.

Yeah maybe, apparently the wildlife is more active morning and evening so I guess those are the popular times.

Thanks!

Aww thanks for the nice encouragement. Keep an eye out soon for a video on the Mandai boardwalk 😉

Ah that’s interesting, do you know where? You sound like a frequent visitor.

@WONDERLUSTworld Oh you can see the birds from the main hide. Just need to catch the right timing and months. 😁

Ah I’ll have to look this up and make a point to go back at the right times.

They are pretty amazing to watch aren't they? We wondered if under the water the fish are saying “hey Mike, look at this, look how far I can jump” 😝 and then his friend is saying “that’s nothing Steve look at this one”

Ah thanks! We love this place and hope it stays this way for all to enjoy. ☺️

Maybe… but we’d only choose promote something we think is good 🙂

We liked it but I’d be keen to try other kinds.

It's such a beautiful place but can change so quickly weather wise! How did you get on? Have your legs recovered yet?

@@WONDERLUSTworldall went well couldn't catch the via ferrata on time. I just did it the next day. I dislike how the park put time limits on things.

Guess for safety purposes? Glad you got to do it!

Wow, it seems pretty wild now. Any stories you can share?

@ night time people from across do swim over , that why the army or the gurkhas do patrol along the beaches with m16. nowadays technology do the walk. beside the usual wild animals you see nowadays, they captured 2 wild elephants on the island before , swam across from JB. While the mainland banned firecrackers and fireworks, we had our countdown there and setting off fireworks and firecrackers.

Oh that’s really interesting, elephants! 🐘 amazing. I think I’m going to read up some more about Ubin from the past. Thanks!

It really is such a special place. No you can’t fly a drone sadly. I’d love to see that place from the sky.

I completely agree! It's amazing to be able to step away from the city and feel like you're in a whole other world.

Haha are they the fighting kind?

A good close by getaway if you want to be on an island for the day and feel like you’re on holiday.

I’m kinda glad it doesn’t though…

Ubin used to have a holiday resort, not sure if it is now. Went in the early 2000’s. Just look up the map, got occupied by the obs.

Oh I didn’t know that! I’ve just been looking it up, UA-cam has some old videos of it! We’ve seen it there but didn’t know that’s what it was. All the abandoned chalets.

@ Remember beside the chalets room , there is a open swimming pool , kayaking, bbq pit , pool table , archery and a flying fox facility. they got their own jetty and the boat pickup is at punggol marina club. that all i could remember.

Yeah that’s matches up with what we saw online. We found an old UA-cam video someone made where they flew a drone over there and you can see it all from above. Guess it didn’t make the money it needed. It would be cool to stay over there but have it as a conservation holiday stay. That way it wouldn’t get as spoilt as if you stay there you onto help with conservation or to learn about the plants and wild life there.

It’s such a lovely house but looks so out of place at the same time as fitting right in! I’d love to wake up to that view.

You can easily do Pulau ubin by foot. It really isn’t that large at all. Maybe just look up the routes so you know which ones you want to do to allow enough time. Take plenty of water and food but don’t eat near the monkeys 🙈

Aww thanks!

@@WONDERLUSTworld I hope we will see you guys again soon. 😊

Thanks! We're doing well, we're so glad you enjoy the videos.

You are welcome. 😊

Aww that’s sad, I just looked the story up.

Yes there are! Sometimes you can buy it be from the boat uncles. Smaller than other durians. We’ve found rambutans over there too.

remember there is wild durian tree out there, can pick them up if you bump into them.

We have seen others bringing them back but not spotted any ourselves. There is a road called Jalan durian there.

Snatched by people or monkeys?! Maybe it was under repair.

must be monkey lar , the only bandits that is still around.

@@WONDERLUSTworld monkeys, grabbed it back, banging the " poor:" monkey against the bike, sorry, left out an important detail there!

Maybe it’s time to?

Hey, I think the children's accents have changed a lot with them being younger, their brains pick it up more. We also find when they learn a new word they seem to learn it in the accent it was taught to them in. So they have a mix of local and American sounding words now. It's quite interesting. We have a mix of international and local friends, we both work in an international school. Jonty's accent tends to become more local depending on who is he speaking with. He spent most of his childhood in the Uk so I guess that's the accent that has stuck.

@WONDERLUSTworld the kids n u too have kool accent, mix of british n SG n american😎

@@WONDERLUSTworld but weird thing is when we migrate to foreign countries, we suddenly talk in their accent in just 2-3years. My aunt, cousin n brother moved to goldcoast, holland n usa.. i guess they find its high class accent😅

My sister has been travelling for over 15 years now and spent alot time in Australia and has picked up that accent.

We’re noticing Milo’s is starting to change, also more depending on who he is spending time with too. He has a few American friends. Aspen’s was the first to noticeably change.

Those cats were so funny! I'm not sure what they were arguing about. Did you catch the auntie spraying them with water in the background of Jonty talking? Seems like a common thing as she was prepared haha This little island is so worth a visit if you get a chance.

This one was great! Did all I needed it to do.

What was it like back then?

@WONDERLUSTworld Mostly Kampong n want to go anywhere need to walk now can see the changes n is there a well for you to shower bn a plain was water?

back then the obs was on the right side of the island , there used to be no paved cycling paths, no public toilets . Some of the houses in the kampung are still occupied, you get to use water wells for your water. Need to register at the police station at the jetty point. Night time there ain’t public lamp out there , its total darkness. Also there is one old comfort cab running there , any local pickup you can hitch a ride with a small fees

Awesome!

They have more rugged off road biking trails too but we haven't don't them yet and feel we'd need biked with better breaks and gears to tackle them. The restaurant is still there. I think we ate there once a long time ago now.

Thanks! It was a wonderful day out.

Yes, it does feel like you’re walking through a scene from a horror film. We’ll have a sungai Buloh vlog coming in the next few weeks, we saw the biggest monitor lizard of our lives. More like some sort of dinosaur!

Kodomo dragon?😂 Just kidding

Haha it seriously looked like it, did you catch that vlog yet?

@WONDERLUSTworld Just got the beginning. Will watch it on the weekdays when I'm less busy. Sungai Buloh used to be nicer b4 you guys came back to Spore. Now the water seems gone and drying up. There's also less people now.

Yeah we did!!! Always worth it

Weekends can be busy, this was a week day too. An evening walk would be lovely I’m sure. Where else do you like to take a walk?

Have some imagination and enjoy!
