I brought my Morrocan colleague there for work reasons (like we had official reasons to be there) and he cried after doing his Friday prayers there. He said that he had worked and lived in many countries but this felt the most like home.
Gosh this is amazing. And it's maybe a little bit sad that Singapore is so good at maintaining a lot of its colonial and Peranakan history, but sometimes the Malay history seems to get a bit pushed aside. Maybe I'm mistaken and I would happy to be told as much, but as an outsider it has always seemed a bit this way. Kampong life looks so nice. All those nice trees and such are a natural way to deal with the heat. And the idea of a village of people who all know each other is so appealing in this modern world.
I would live in such houses. OMG i think this is the luckiest kampung that wasn't required to be demolished for new upcoming project for the past fifty years!!! Thanks for showing us around. Hgggg.
During the 60's we use to call it as "KAMPONG SELAK KAIN" which literary means KAMPONG where the people there would raise their loin cloth of sarong whenever it floods.
Not so long ago, Singapore was populated with kampungs all over the island. Until the 90s, Sengkang and Punggol were still a kampung with plantations, fishing boats, pig sty, chicken farms, goat farms, etc Within a few decades, they were all gone. Sadly I never get the chance to live in kampung, I only visited my great grandmother in her kampung when I was a child. However, I can still vividly remember the spaciousness, the crops that she grew, chicken pen and things like fire stoves that use firewood at her house. Very different from where I stayed.
Wow glad to see Nor, a local who can introduce you to "less-touristy" spots, locations that most people take for granted. Because if we talk about Singapore, the vlogs are always the same contents where they go to famous & pricey places like Marina Bay area, so it's different watching vlogs that actually explore singapore. You save money but bring back a lot of precious memories
I've been to Singapore once, for my honeymoon (5 years ago) and absolutely fell in love with the culture, the people, the diversity...I would love to go back but with covid and a three year old little girl things aren't easy...watching your videos makes me so happy because I feel like I'm reliving the experience! Thank you for making such amazing content! Lots of love from Portugal xx
Loved this! So wonderful. Have watched about 15 of your videos today. Enjoyed all. Am an Australian and at of year have lived 3 years in Auckland and may be moving to Singapore. Great content and you are a pleasure to watch!
Hi Georgia sis , I am so glad to come across your channel.😃.. I being a Sporean, totally have not known of this place at all . I really enjoy your videos..gonna watch all of em.. thank you so much for sharing all these wonderful videos.. you are amazing and beautiful 😍... will share to my friends as well . Thumbs up 👍
*Luv this episode and it is making me miss Malaysia trip so much cos I luv the country side and plantation there and praying borders will open soon so we all can visit the authentic kampong life in Malaysia*
So nostalgia...just brings back memories...back then when we were young, we love to go n visit our aunt who lived in the kampung....n over there, our cousins will bring us along n pick ripen rambutans n durians😂sometimes he can even tell which ones r gonna fall off from the trees...so we will stand or squat n wait patiently 😂👍miss it so much😩
Recently a friend asked me if Singapore still has kampungs and your video is super timely! Thank you for bringing us there with you 🥰 AND whoaaa the amount of nor and georgia content we’ve been getting lately 😍
I would really love to show you the really authentic kampong houses in Malaysia, where my relatives lives. The heat, the kampong gardens/plants they have in the back of the houses. When it's at night you could see millions of stars visible in the dark sky.
Thanks for featuring Kampung Lorong Buangkok. It reminds of my childhood. I was actually living in this village till 1997 and the government ordered us to relocate to make way for development. Lorong Buangkok used to be much bigger than the current size. The area where I used to stay is much deeper inside and it's a 30-minute walk to the main road. Some times, Taxi Drivers don't even want to go there because they felt that it was really remoted. Thumbs up Georgia and her friends for their effort.
Giving a thumbs-up for nostalgia and thinking of the good ppl ard me at the time; but I love apartment living, great running water, electricity at the touch of a button, no frogs jumping at me in the toilet so good sanitation steps away from my bedroom. Glad you enjoyed your walkaround guys :)
For now they haven't completely demolish the kampong but i'm scared one day it will vanish...i remember visiting there as a short 'school trip' and i love how you feel like you're disconnected temporarily from the busy modern singapore and immerse in the peaceful atmosphere
I was living in 'Kampung" like this in Jakarta 🥲, fresh air, so quiet and smell many trees around my house... but the only problems is mosquito coz I hate it 😅
I used to live in old Taman Jurong where flats were built by JTC. Some of the houses at the first level sold flavored ice tubes for 10 cents. As kids, after playing at the playground, we always knocked on the window panel of these houses to buy one tube of ice to suck.
@@cslee7114 Oh I used to move around at Blk 6 and 9. Those were the days man. Beside these blocks is the diamond block or 21 storey flat, the highest in Taman Jurong.
Nice vid and had no idea it existed in singapore ! Takes me back to the older days and do remember the ice lollies which is actually translated as “water rocks” as in “air batu” = fun fact ;-) the pickle mango looks tasty too but try the guava with the sprinkles as it’s yummy too ! Keep up the great content with hidden gems like this @georgia !
Loved this! It's so peaceful in the kampong! The Philippines and Malaysia share some parts of our culture, so it was nice to learn from the Malays :) I do miss the iced candies we used to have as children. They were such nice afternoon treats! We would tear off a small part of the plastic at the bottom (not open the tied end) and eat it from there. We also used to make and sell them to friends and family.
Amazing 😍 love this video. Georgia you are my favourite vlogger on RUclips! Love your uncomplicated, raw and honest portrayals. Cannot wait to travel to Singapore. Sending love from Aus 🇦🇺
I'm not sure during the pandemic we're allowed to take a ferry but if you can, pls visit Singapore's nearby islands called St John's island, Lazarus Island or Kusu Island. It's a whole different world there
When I lived in Singapore in the sixties there were kampongs all around. We lived on Leonie Hill Rd. and there was one there. I remember looking down at it and wondering about it. We were told under no uncertain terms we were not to visit them. The people that lived there did not want "Europeans" in their territory.
It’s sad that singapore is getting more and more modernist and many nostalgic places has demolished and make way on newest buildings to keep up with the trend. It’s great to have the last kampung in Singapore but we’ll never know when it will last.
Hey Georgia, you know the ice lolly? You’re not supposed to open it from the rubber band side! You’re supposed to bite the opposite side till you make a hole there and suck from that side. 😄
There no right or wrong way to have ur ice lolly; it’s just that as when we were kids, it’s either to have big bites & finished fast or sipped the lolly water as it’s melted slowly & enjoying like forever …😜
Back in those days you can just leave the door open and nobody is going to trespass into your home except for those chickens or cats or maybe your neighbour’s little kids.
It’s nice to see houses with some spaces in Singapore. But I’m sure is so bloody 🥵 Trying to stay away from the heat not to live in an oven. Sorry to say that it’s not my place. Thanks for sharing!
That's the last heritage of Malay ethnic there, as history described once upon a time the island belong to them before other ethnic invasion took over their whole land and named Singapore.
Georgia! You should have asked me, I have an uncle who lives there and I have been there every year since young. I could have brought you into my uncle's place (:
The village is beautiful. Georgia is more beautiful..didn't know ppl living there. Lucky them..so many trees...what a pity they did not invite both of u in their house
Tribecar is convenient, but they've got the worst customer support! Always charging extra 'penalty' fees for minor issues, or sometimes no issues at all. Typical gangster company. I'd recommend Drive Lah instead for short term car rentals
So they have been equally taught that it is only that type of nose that is nice. And their own nose is ugly or not nice. If it is the other way, they will still have been taught it is too long or too pointed and therefore ugly. Lol!!!
I brought my Morrocan colleague there for work reasons (like we had official reasons to be there) and he cried after doing his Friday prayers there. He said that he had worked and lived in many countries but this felt the most like home.
Maybe the kampong feel reminds him of home.. i'm not sure how typical moroccan houses look like but i think it's not like the urban city area
Gosh this is amazing. And it's maybe a little bit sad that Singapore is so good at maintaining a lot of its colonial and Peranakan history, but sometimes the Malay history seems to get a bit pushed aside.

The auntie say Georgia is beautiful ...i agree with her 100%😊
haha very kind

During the 60's we use to call it as "KAMPONG SELAK KAIN" which literary means KAMPONG where the people there would raise their loin cloth of sarong whenever it floods.
The residents must be surprised and excited to see 'a life Barbie doll' at their kampung.
This village looks absolutely stunning Georgia, Singapore never fails to disappoint, a wonderful Country.😀🇸🇬❤️

look at the lamp post with the high wire.......how nostalgic. oh yes..good old kampong days. i missed it so much.

It is like kampung baru.. with klcc at the background
Very interesting ! I hope the last remaining kampung will be preserved for future generations to see and experience

We used to buy an ice lolly for 5 cents from a neighbour's house. Their back door was always open and that was where the kitchen fridge was.
5 cents damnnn
dang the ice pops really threw me wayback in time

Thanks for showing one place I have not been.
mainland singapore*. there are still some on pulau ubin
I live near that place and I sometimes go there to explore when I'm bored. 😁😁
Wow! I didn't know there was a Kampong left in Singapore either!
well now you do haha :)
It's Georgia the Explorer! Dora is passe. You're a true aesthetic adventurer!
Have always wanted to visit Kampong Buangkok! Thank you for sharing this Georgia :-)
loved it!
Thanks that video reveal Singapore we dont know 🇨🇦😎
Village is so beautiful and calmful.. Very beautiful vlog 😇😇😇.. Love it so much🖤
thank you!
Last of the kampong..... In SG. But tons of them in Malaysia.
More than tons
Prefer living in Kampong life.
Much cheaper rent. Kampong
we can grow our own fruits and vegetables. Friendly neighbours.
I'm not sure during the pandemic we're allowed to take a ferry but if you can, pls visit Singapore's nearby islands called St John's island, Lazarus Island or Kusu Island. It's a whole different world there
Great episode, Georgia. Nice to see a piece of Old Singapore.
When I lived in Singapore in the sixties there were kampongs all around. We lived on Leonie Hill Rd. and there was one there. I remember looking down at it and wondering about it. We were told under no uncertain terms we were not to visit them. The people that lived there did not want "Europeans" in their territory.
Hey Georgia, consider a collab with Ghib Ojisan. Would love to hear how two expats’ expound on life here
Oh wow i watch his vlogs too!! Would love to see a japanese & british explore sg together
We should conserve this space if possible. It's worth saving
Nice video! Would love to visit this kampong.
NICE MEMORY OF KAMPONG BUT TIME CHANGES AND HAVE
TO MOVE FORWARD AND IMPROVE TO THE FUTURE GENERATIONS.
👍👍👍❤️🇸🇬
this is making me miss my kampong in malacca and unable to visit it cos of current situation.
I'm sorry :(
It’s sad that singapore is getting more and more modernist and many nostalgic places has demolished and make way on newest buildings to keep up with the trend. It’s great to have the last kampung in Singapore but we’ll never know when it will last.
There’s another Kampong in Clementi :)
Hey Georgia, you know the ice lolly? You’re not supposed to open it from the rubber band side! You’re supposed to bite the opposite side till you make a hole there and suck from that side. 😄
Yeah haha Nor proceeded to tell me that after...
There no right or wrong way to have ur ice lolly; it’s just that as when we were kids, it’s either to have big bites & finished fast or sipped the lolly water as it’s melted slowly & enjoying like forever …😜
1954 it's was the poster code early day in Singapore.
Back in those days you can just leave the door open and nobody is going to trespass into your home except for those chickens or cats or maybe your neighbour’s little kids.
I love it! I just hope to go there someday too
gooo goo :)
It’s nice to see houses with some spaces in Singapore. But I’m sure is so bloody 🥵 Trying to stay away from the heat not to live in an oven. Sorry to say that it’s not my place. Thanks for sharing!
There are plenty and more authentic kampung in Malaysia
That's the last heritage of Malay ethnic there, as history described once upon a time the island belong to them before other ethnic invasion took over their whole land and named Singapore.
well..... lucky the British came , if not still a waste land
@@sdqsdq6274 learn your history, but manners first I reckon
This Kampong used to be bigger back in the day. It has shrunk quite a bit.
Georgia! You should have asked me, I have an uncle who lives there and I have been there every year since young. I could have brought you into my uncle's place (:
I will go there again.
My friend stay near there.

Superb
11:29 Es lilin (candle ice) in bahasa Indonesia. I helped my mother made and sell this long time ago.
It’s behind my hdb estate but I’ve never been inside. Seems like you need permission from the land owner or know someone living there to venture in.
Yo the game is roblox isd also scary and i live in singapore
They didn't know they were in the presence of someone "very famous on the Internet" 😂😂
haha staapp
a plot of land must be millions in value. Is the kampung purposely kept?
👍👍👍
Nice (once welcome India) in south
the ice popsicle is called 'sng pao' in hokkien, meaning ice bag
In Mandarin its called *Malaixiya Bing Shui*
👍👏💪🇸🇬
Thanks, I want to come there . I need to talk to you inbox

So they have been equally taught that it is only that type of nose that is nice. And their own nose is ugly or not nice. If it is the other way, they will still have been taught it is too long or too pointed and therefore ugly. Lol!!!
