A place I like to go
There is a place in the north of Singapore I like to go... A bicycle ride away from Yishun and you would have reached Lower Seletar reservoir. There is a bridge that connects Yishun to Seletar Island country club and Seletar Airport. On one side of the bridge is reservoir and on the other side, the sea.
I used to cycle there, to the bridge to sit and relax. Sometimes my bicycle would take me across the bridge and all the way to Jalan Kayu. I was only in secondary school then. I would go there to feel the sea breeze and let my worries melt away.
Now I've moved to Ang Mo Kio and sometimes when I'm driving my Dad's car, I would drop in...
Many people would go there and fish...
The Tidal gates; used to release reservoir water into the sea to prevent it from overflowing. The horn would be use to warn of the release.
A teenage boy drowned here a week ago. I guess he must have tried to swim from one bank where the fisherman is standing to the far bank where he got pulled under midway.

This is where I often go for walks with my folks after a dinner out.
It's also a hidden fav spot for one-night campers and bbq outings.

soundbar: heehee.. he just turned his head when i pressed the shutter, u can see my shadow in the photo.. but i just walked away and he continued reading the papers.. and i lived to tell the tale
I remember when we were 1st brought here during one of our weekly morning runs in NCC.
Been back a few times...hasn't changed much.
Pity abt the drowning though...
It's either your photography skills, or I haven't discovered such a gem in Spore. Would check it out when I'm back.
Jijay: I remember that day, it was the longest run I've ever been on.. at that point of time, and the seniors codenamed the place "paradise" to keep us in suspense
