After a well deserved 6h rest at East Coast Park, the team had decided to make our way down to the eastern side of Singapore where we can see big and beautiful aeroplanes zooming over our heads.
Due to the unexpected tiring journey to changi village, all of us were shag-e-delic by the time we reached there.
At last, walking for over thousands and thousands of miles, we reached our destination. Having come thus far, how can we leave the place without the famous nasi lemak and refreshing sugarcane juice for dinner. We also did not forget our task that was to find the wooden bridge.
You may be wondering why only Sutrisno's face is captured. Kudos to his photosgraphy skills. He is really suited to go into the photography career.
Changi Village Wooden Bridge
The journey from East Coast Park to Changi Village took us 5 hours, from 12pm-5pm. The distance we approximately covered is between 15-20km. Imagine the amount of stretching we had to do on top of constant encouragement that we give to one another. During the walk, there were moments where Suhaila, Mahes and Azree sang songs from soulful David Cook to some Hindi songs just to keep themselves going. They were simply HIGH!!!!! WEEEEE!!! BAGUS!!!!! When we reached Changi Beach Park where we were still 4km away, we had a leg and shoulder massaging session between ourselves. Beacause of our resourcefulness and strong team bond, Sutristno, the hero, came with a bicycle where Suhaila and Mabel rode down to the Changi Village.
Having walking for the past two days, we decided to make use of our bus ride we are entitled to. We took bus service 109 down to Seng Kang Community Club and the group wanted something fresh. Thus, we went for a light jog through te scenic Punggol neighbourhood. Every step we took, the crikets and toads were cheering for us. Within half an hour, we managed to reach there.Just look at our satisfied faces and dripping wet hair.
From Sengkang, we took a bus to Ulu pandan and we followed the jogging trail which lead us all the way to the railway bridge. At the bridge we took the photo and headed to NUCC.
Sunset Way Rail Bridge
The bridge really looks like a relic in the midst of a modern and colourful neighbourhood. We were unfortunate enough to have reached the bridge at night! It was super spooky to the max! If Changi has OCH, Sunset Way has this rail track. Flanked by millions (ok, just exaggerating.) of banana trees, we were afraid even to go near it. In fact the whole team chickened out from the photo except our hero for the night: Ong Chin Boon. He courageously stood below the bridge, and we were able to produce the spooky shot that you see above.
TADAAA!!!! I WAS HERE!!! So when we reached NUCC, the four of us took a picture with Suhaila as the camera woman. Now now..... lets play a little game...... CAN YOU SPOT MAHESH???? 10 points for you if you do!
NUS UCC
Located near the National University of Singapore, the National University Cultural Centre was home to some of the renowned artists for them to perform their wonderful musical pieces. There's also a three storey museum which contains asian artworks and artifacts.
Did you know that PM Lee also made his National Day Rally a few years ago?
We then headed for the BOTTLES! Since we wanted to imitate Ridz, we decided to let Mahesh take the picture. TUMMY BABEHHH!!!!
Bottle Tree
The amazing Bottle Tree is named such because it looks like a bottle! Amazing right? A bottle-shaped tree. According to our sources, it originated in Australia and somehow managed to find its way to Singapore. Position right smack in Bottle Tree Village off Sembawang, the tree is a beauty by itself and visited by many visitors from all over the world. We were glad that we had the chance to take a photo and look at it for ourselves!! In fact, Mahesh was super happy that he looked like the tree.(Focus: Big Tummy) So we decided that it’ll be better that he took the photo alone with his eco-idol. Good for you Mahesh!
After the long long walk, we went to North point MacD's.
