Wan's Ubin Journal will be turning 5 on July 21st, 2023! I would like to thank everybody who have been with me on this journey over the years, who have seen how this blog — and in extension — how I've grown as a person; as a descendant of the Ubin Orang Pulau, sharing what he loves of his mother's former island home.


WUJ could not have reached this special milestone if not for your blessings and unwavering support. Thank you, and here's to more wonderful years of celebrating our Ubin Orang Pulau community, culture, and heritage, together.
