The Last Kampong in Singapore













Yesterday I set eyes on the last kampong in Singapore.

The lazy silver-haired cats were sleeping on the porch.

Two girls played in the backyard with their sago seed pods and giggled.

A giant spider was swaying its yellow-striped legs in the breeze.

This place has its own history.

People have memories.
