Last weekend instead of our usual weekend torture with my friend, we met up with a few others at Punggol Waterway. It's a new park and most of us have not been here except for me. There are still many developments going on surrounding the park. Because of all those developments going on I slipped and landed on my butt along the temporary path leading to the park. Both sides of that path was wet and covered with algae. I was busy chatting away with my friend and the next thing I know I was ......Luckily my rear end is well cushioned. Even with a wet rear it did not stopped me from posing for pictures or going for a run. :)
We were suppose to meet early in the morning. We even managed to drag our children plus my three boys and our other halfs out of bed and made our way here. In the end we started our walk later than usual because some of them got lost on their way here and some were staying on the other side of the island.
The sun was already out but it was still great for a walk. OK, only two of us run and brisk walk the rest - gelek (strolling).
Please note that one should bring a hat if you decide to pay a visit here because there are no shades around. There are rest stops with shades that hardly do anything. The trees along the waterway were obviously newly planted so there is no help from them for now. Maybe in a couple of years time.... Now they are so skinny and scrawny looking that my thighs are bigger than the tree trunks !
Along our walk/run we stopped for picture breaks. Must stop, mah as I was out of breath ....
By far this is the best shot among the rest of the pictures I took. Maybe because it was taken before the sun got too hot. We can see the bottom of the water clearly - more of those green algae that I just recently became acquainted with.
Later as we were walking back to where we started (coz some of the girls parked their cars there) we stopped here again and this time the shots I took did not turn out as well as this. By then the sun was blazing hot at 11am.
When we reached the bus terminal we were dying for a drink... a icy, cold drink. There was a brief hesitation as should I pick the diet ones instead of the regular ones.
Ahh... what the heck ... I took a can of regular Coke and can hardly wait to open and guzzle it . Shiok !!!
I love how the sky was reflected on to the water that morning, My pictures do no justice to that lovely scenery. I was using my old camera because it was less bulky to carry around. One of the girls came with those SLR camera and the pictures that came from it was just lovely.
Ahhh..... makes me want to get one too. I always hesitate to get one It is not because it is more expensive than those compact ones. It is because it is so bulky whereas the compact camera can be easily slipped into my hand bag or pocket. Oh, well, maybe, maybe I might just invest in one of those new mirrorless compact cameras that comes with interchangeable lenses. Like
this. Should I ? I am so, so tempted.....
