originally posted as a thread on clubsnap

One of the familiar boatmen bringing us over to the Pulau Ubin jetty.

One of the opera performers putting on the facepaint in preparation for the performance about 15 minutes later.

incandescent light is what all the crew behind the opera have, for them to see.

the elderly percussion players take a short break just before the actual show begins

the two seniorly gentlemen playing the er-hu and the yang chin for the opera

Different generations - the older generation never had electronic devices for amusement, while the children of today are probably growing further away from their cultural heritage.

Even at night, a family of devotees make a stopover at the Tua Pek Kong temple in the main Ubin village to pay respects, on Vesak Day night of 22nd May 2005.

The opera did not get more than a crowd of 10 watching the performance.

After nightfall, eateries are still open for business in Ubin.
