Ubin Island (or known locally as Pulau Ubin) has always never fail to bring to me a certain air of decadence, and nostalgia. As the last bastion of kampung/village living NOT located on mainland Singapore, Ubin never fails to bring to her visitors memories of days gone by, when kampung living was the norm, and when life was just so much simpler.
