Ubin baby.

Our little gang spent the night on Ubin again this weekend. We stayed at the Celestial Resort. Its much improved from a couple of years ago, the room was comfy and clean the air conditioner was nice and cold. I had a great time and I think i am renewing my love for this splendid little island. (by the way that stilt house is not the resort.)
:)
We popped back into the village for some grub, it was suprisngly pricey, but we were full and for us thats about all we can ask for
Above as the caption says is a shop, this shop has been around for years, the lady that runs it is now 85years old and from what i understand still going strong.
The village Temple
The Malay Coffee Shop at the entrance to the jetty has been around for as long as i have been going there which is for the past 24yrs.
:)
Surrounded by a small lake (for canoeing not swimming) and a short sandy beach the resturaunt leaves alot to be desired. So if your staying at the resort, byof or grab something from the village.

just a note on the picture above, i used a feature on photoshop called equalize on it cause i liked how it looked after. I did the same for 3 pictures which i will identify with an @
The resort is flanked by a river on one side and the ubin straits on the other.
