探险精神再度被激发 To The Northeast

Last Sunday our spirit of adventrue was once again aroused. After church service, we drove all the way from town to Yishun. First stop was Lower Seletar Reservoir. A small fountain & water feature was newly built (June 2011) for the kids to play with, under the hot sun. How smart.

Next to the fountain is the lookout point link to a jetty-look-alike sitting area. The sitting area is partially covered & very windy. It has a broad view of golf club on one side and people kayaking on the other. This place is not bad but there is absolutely nothning to do. So we left after 15 minutes.




There is a price for every adveture outing, fuel. After topping up fuel at the nearest ESSO station, we contiue journey. On a unnamed bridge, we stopped to watch people fishing. There is also a kelong nearby. The feeling is like back to Malaysia, but a safer version. As we continue, we popped by Seletar Country Club and nearly hit a BMW. Surprisingly the bimmer driver was very polite & did not pursue us. Otherwise, we'll be dead meat. Made 2 rounds at the carpark and decided to leave. At a crossroad, a wrong turn brought us to Punggol. The road is just so empty without any road sign. So we ended up at Punggol Waterway, where a girl was attacked by 8 stray dogs last year. There is also a Punggol Watertown new development launching event. We are curious to find out the master plan around the area so we just walked in. To my astonishment, the place is packed! Agents & potential buyers everywhere. Food is provided, too. Without hesitation, we pretend to "checked out" the show room and then walked straight to the food counter. The chicken satay tasted the same if not better than Al-Azhar, his favourite satay in Singapore.

Free food :)

Filled our stomach & moved on to Punggol Park. This is another park with park connector, foot path, cycling track but no bench. So tired walking around the park.



Hubby said I don't have the cute 肥头 anymore...

We notice the people around are mainly foreigners. Where are all the Singaporean? Probably because there is no foodcourt here so Singaporean shun away from here. I wonder how appetizing it is to eat with presence of acid smell from palm oil production across the Johor Straits.
