I accidentally discovered this area during circuit breaker time when I cycled a lot more to keep myself sane. I could not believe such places still existed in Singapore! Made me so happy and brought back many happy childhood memories. 😊
There used to be a small pulau where during low tide in the ole days we could wade across and in the night using a sampan, the waters between the pulau and mainland, we could catch lots of squids. We Sembawang boys used to enjoy so much in the good ole days.
Kg Wak Hassan was still there in the year 2000. I took a bunch of photos there, knowing that its days were numbered. In the mid-eighties, I used to regularly visit Tg Irau, a lovely quiet spot, off the beaten track. It's such a pity that these do not exist any more 😟
Hi Robbie, thanks for watching! I guess things move on with the times and nothing is permanent. But that area is still a lovely peaceful place to be at during the day, a quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Such pockets of tranquility are getting really rare here in Singapore.
In the 60s during year end School holidays my brother and me used to visit Tg Irau and the sea along the shore was so clear and we could see fish swimming nearby😅
Yes it is indeed a nice place for riding! You can come at night to film your pontianak movie. Chances of capturing a real pontianak is quite high! 😁 Thanks very much for watching. 💕💕
In Tg Irau once stay a very famous footballer family and most kampung houses built on stilts due to once in awhile of super high tides of knees deep, a fond memories in the old days
I was there a couple of times. Until not long ago, it must have been an outstanding beautiful spot in Singapore. One can still sense the former beauty, but now it is too much cleaned and straightened up.
I used to stay along Jln Janggus more than 40 years ago. Also studied at Sembawang Primary School near to the beach (currently known as boys brigade campsite I think).

Selimang? Oh ! Oh !What a name. Or it is a corruption of the word semilang. Ikan sembilang to be precise because the place is close to the sea.Apologies if I am wrong. LMK

It is nice to note that some parts of Singapore resembles the Malaysian residential areas like Menglembu, Station 18, First Garden, Jelapang

So very interesting. 💕

@@robbiej2749 Sure Robbie. That would be so kind of you. Thank you. 👍🏽
@@robbiej2749 hi Robbie, did you manage to take photos of houses right In front of the Tanjong Irau beach?
In the 60s during year end School holidays my brother and me used to visit Tg Irau and the sea along the shore was so clear and we could see fish swimming nearby😅
This is a really awesome location and riding a bike would be so much fun. Location is good to film a pontianak movie too

I'm from Jakarta and like old places. Nice content!
Hello! Thank you 💕💕
Nothing stays the same in this world. Even the present modern changes will become old & vanish when it's time comes.
Yes. That is so true. Nothing is permanent.❤️
We used to have our “staycation” in one of our friend’s relative at Kg Tg Irau in the 60s😂
Aww..good old days man 💕💕
Beside Tg Irau, does kampong tengah ring a bell.
@@yeshewong3849 oh yes. Kg tengah is further inwards along the canal.. nearer to andrews avenue 💕💕
In Tg Irau once stay a very famous footballer family and most kampung houses built on stilts due to once in awhile of super high tides of knees deep, a fond memories in the old days
