Found this interesting signboard while admiring the artwork on the Ubin Green House.
Interesting… so are you a considerate or an inconsiderate person??
I think at times, consciously or subconsciously, we causes changes around us. But not all changes are deemed as bad. So can the person still be considered as inconsiderate? *Shrug*
Other than the Goddess of Mercy Stone which attracted people to pray at the quarry on the island, there is this German Girl Shrine where people go to pray too. I din managed to visit the shrine the last time I was there. So this time round I’ve decided to visit it.
German Girl Shrine on Pulau Ubin and all the newspaper clippings that is stuck on its walls.
Shrine entrance
People had been coming here to pray with offerings of bottled perfumed water and powder.
On a closer look at the alter, there seems to be an urn behind the doll figurine. Somehow my hair seems to stand just looking at it.
I heard from my grandmother that when a person dies, he/she would turn into praying mantis and come back to visit the places he/she had been to when alive. I found this praying mantis in the shrine.
So do pay a visit to this shrine the next time you make a trip to Pulau Ubin 
Saw this very very very old car on Pulau Ubin. It reminds me of my Dad’s era. I’ve seen such car models from the old and yellowed photos in my dad’s photo albums. But I never tot tht I would still be able to see one in this era. It’s really old. Wonder if this car had been with its owner since his younger days
The last rustic surroundings left in Spore – Pulau Ubin. Saw these cute little furry rabbits being kept by an uncle on the island.
Saw this interesting ‘advert’ put up by the uncle to ‘entice’ island visitors to buy drinks from him
Had dinner at this ‘restaurant’ near the jetty before taking the boat back to mainland. Though I don’t really take seafood, my friends who had them said they tasted fresh and really delicious.
Huge steamed prawns
Deep fried chicken with lemon sauce
Stir-fried spicy mussels
Chilli Crabs
Saw this sign at Palau Ubin which said Guan Yin Stone.
Out of curiousity, I followed the sign which led to an open ground where a number of people are lighting joss sticks and praying away. I was looking high and low but couldn’t find any Guan Yin Stone. Then this old uncle standing nearby enlightened me. He pointed to me in the direction of the quarry and there I saw it – an image on the stone quarry that looks like a statue of Guan Yin.
He told me that the quarry was closed for quite awhile but only recently, few months back, the image of what look like Goddess of Mercy appears.
