St John's Island & Lazarus Island

Once in a while used to head down to St John's Island for some peace and tranquility. Nice colonial bungalows, dirt cheap rent. Good for kakis to gather for Black Jack, Gin Rummy etc. Booze, Books and lots of fishing. Supper time - nice big pot of real chinese style chicken curry with french loaf. Following night satay bought in bulk from Tanjong Katong Road with lots of gravy provided.

Lots of history as well. Devan Nair first state funded stay was not at the Istana but at St John's Island. Old man used to visit his clients there. Quarantine station for our forefathers. Later leprosy centre from migrants, then Vietnamese Boat People repatriation centre and then DRC.

Lazarus Island which is next to it used to have a lively kampung.

Anyone recently visited the Island. Please don't tell the Ang Mos have taken over.

How come you got into the restricted Islands - Pawai and Palawan. Sister Islands small temple used by bumboats. Heavy currents between the 2 sisters. Lazarus. One big long hill with beacon on top and the small kampung. Most of the folks also had HDB flats in Tebans Gardens due to resettlement.

Coney Island had a lot of water skiing and private pleasure craft activities then.

Bukom of old had the best Condo facilities for Refinery senior executives including bowling alley. Good food in canteen.

Tekong and Ubin, bike trails, . Well water was very cool for a bath in the hot weather.

Kusu island is the best. Can go there and pray to the Chinese and Malay (not Muslim) deities.

Then you get a yellow string bracelet and wear it for good luck.

Once you have a kid you won't have time to be romantic. Unless you want to outsourced it to the maids.

kids are not meant to be raised by others.

i will make sure my spouse gets my best attention.

raising kids and being romantic are not mutually exclusive. they can be achieved together

St John island has a beacon transmitter installed for airplanes ILS turning into Changi airport. Be careful if one day one of the planes drop death on the island.

Aiyah! What fucking romance?

Can he fuck hard and fuck long and fuck good?

If he cannot , spend a night with me and you want to spend your days and nights with me after that.
And if you fuck well, I will even oblige you a few more days and nights

Caught many good sized fishes at the waters off St John Island before...

When I came back from a job trip recently, saw further reclamation works at Tekong.. One Island I must mention is the Pulau Viola a tiny island besides Pulau Senang.. It has a thriving marine life.. On a lucky day, you would be able to see dolphins swimming in the waters there..
