As you all know, Pulau Ubin is one of the most visited tourists attractions in Singapore. There are also many others, namely Chinatown, Kampong Glam and Little India. This are all the tourist attractions in Sinagapoore with a historical value in it. I'm sure Pulau Ubin is also a meaningful place to visit, thinking that you are able to view the Singapore in the past.

Why do I bring this up all of a sudden? During a trip to Pulau Ubin on Sunday, I realised that the island has been transformed. it was not the usual dilapidated houses that we are able to enjoy.

The Pulau Ubin I know of is one with historical value, something that existed to show the world what was Sinagpore like in the past. However, there are many renovated areas, little original buildings, except for those that have residents there. This is not the one that I know of. It seems to fresh to the cultured brian, one that has lived and visited many places that is etched with a train of memories. Yet, this place can't be found in my mind. There is no sense of nostalgia, I realise that there are barely a place that I feel at home with.

Still, the slightest tinge of nostalgia is the joy experienced when cycling around the island. The feeling will allow your mind to throw all your worries off, all your furies away and all your troubles away. The cooling sensation is felt carressing your face, up the hill and down the hill, you think of nothing. The only worry I presume is that you are afraid to fall like that actor and break all your teeth. Hence, we should go there to unwind, take it as a form of recreation.

Sadly, the fun might be gone after you realise how much the beautiful island you enjoyed has change.
