I went to Kusu Island with my family today :). Kusu Island is off the southern shores of Singapore. It is really small. One could walk around the island in about 30 minutes. It does not have the vibrance of Sentosa (another Singapore off shore island, and a favourite haunt for tourists). It has no crazy theme parks, fancy restaurants, or ornate museums. It only has a tortoise sanctuary that is home to 1000s of terrapins, tortoises and turtles, a chinese temple and a mosque.
My parents, my sister and I had a really good time just lazing about on the island. Peace and tranquility are 2 things Kusu Island offers, that Sentosa can never. We had a really nice picnic lunch with sushi, sandwiches, breadstick with guacamole. The weather was just right, though it was switching between slight drizzles and sunshine. We had a choice of hot coffee or iced juice depending on how warm or cool we were feeling :). Sister brought some funny picnic 'tents' which could be folded up. we unfortunately took a very long time to figure out how to fold and twist them in the right way when packing them away.
Kusu Island is also known as the 'turtle' island. The island was in a shape of a turtle before land reclamation took place. Legend has it that a giant turtle turned into the island to save 2 ship wrecked sailors. One sailor was chinese, and the other muslim. Thus a chinese temple and a mosque was erected on the island to thank the turtle who sacrificed itself for them.

I performed my usual ritual of feeding the turtles in the turtle sanctuary :>
