Am presently sat at my computer with my back to the window.

Swings chair around and looks out of said window to the north. On the murky horizon, can just make out the outline of Pulau Bidan, the largest of the group of three islands. It was Bidan that had the accommodation for the range.

The other two islands, Pulau Song Song itself and Pulau Telur, are hidden behind Bidan so not visible from my location.

Just found this on the interweb. Might bring back a memory or two.
