I contradictsmyself a lot in life. For example, I want 6 pack abs but I also want my fried chicken. I'm a self proclaimed workaholic but I've been spending too much time with my son and at the gym these days. I always tell people that some of my favourite food are pizza, burgers, and hotdogs but I will take my mum's cooking over anything. I love cities. I love my New York city, Hong Kong, and Singapore where everything moves so quickly and everyone is so grouchy. It might sound crazy but I love it. I love that intensity in everyone but on the other hand, I too enjoy trips to Bali, Phuket, and even just a kelong retreat where time just stands still.
It came as a surprise to me when my friend invited me to join them for a day trip out in the sea at a kelong. My question wasn't what can I do but "Do I need my passport? You mean we have kelong in Singapore?" and my second question was "Still got 4G or not?". I know right?
What to do at the kelong? We brought our own food to BBQ, we fed the fishes, you can bring your gear to fish, swim in the sea, kayak, order really fresh seafood from the uncle, and also sit around and talk to your friends. It's not exactly exciting but the day out in the sea eating, chatting, and enjoying the sea breeze and view was surprisingly enjoyable for me. It might not be your typical "Instagrammable" kind of place but I love it so much I was asking uncle how much is it for me to own one of these kelongs.
Truth is we really didn't do much. I guess it was the company that matters as well.
For those who are interested, you can contact Federick at +65 9760 2728. It's $30 per pax for the boat ride and usage of the Kelong and the activities. Food, drinks, and good company is not included. HAHA.
