Time moves pretty fast. Speaking of those days, I'm probably the last 20th century kid who still remember everything, before 21st century.

Show Mata Ikan, my favourite swimming beach.

That is why I had to say thank you cuz that was my parents favorite beach too.As long as there was a place to picnic and be near the waters was good enough...back then we enjoyed walking in the mud at low tide picking up marine life more than swimming at hightide

Chew Bakar SG

Yup lots of marine life like starfishes and shells to pick at lowtide. Ocassionally a seahorse too.

One time I did mention about sea horses in Singapore waters and some forumnites were interested in what I was drinking or smoking>LOL.I remember there were two main species of Starfish.One is whitish with 5 pointed side which is perfect for throwing like 'ninja stars' the other one thick bulky reddish /brown.We liked to smuggle them in the car against our parents wishes cuz these creatures would die and stink up the place very fast.

I was chatting with a nurse while being waiting to be sedated........and we talked about those little pink or green mini guavas we used to have in kampong yards.

And how we can take out hibiscus flowers from our kampong and suck on the juice/nectar of the flowers from the buds.

Now with all the pollutions and fertilizers, how many of us dared to just suck on fresh flowers plucked from the roadside?

Chew Bakar SG

Waaaahhhhh!!!! Thank you for the map!

Still found in Changi or Ubin.

Those wild passionfruits were pretty common, when ripe its yellow with white flesh and black seed. Very tasty. Used to fight for it.

You mean tapioca tree with all green leaf stalk, with the unedible root.
