Discovery of the week....

2 August 2006

Wanted to embark on my supposed-to-be-weekly 10k run with JazMon... but we convinced ourselves the stadium is fully utilised by wannabe national runners.... so she proposed going to Kranji Reservoir...where people harass the prawns & fishes... and the "thing" that Jazmon often talks about...

after a longer-than-it-seems walk (no thanks to JM telling me we shouldn't run so soon cos it's "so far away"), we found the "entrance" - a 2ft pavement along the canal - tucked away behind the martial court. Finally abandoned the postponed run...but the canal seems as if it will lead us to Johor.... bend after stretch & vice versa....that never seems to merge into a concrete horizon...

....but when we finally reached the end of the path, it was a sight to behold....tranquil waters framed by untamed foliage on the left against the green manicured lawn of the Warren golf club... JM tried to fish a prawn for me... but I guess the ultra-sensitive creatures were determined not to be eaten today.... but we did 'catch' animals - kingfisher with its distinctive blue and brown plummage, and the little tern, common in coastal areas, somewhat like the ubiquitous seagulls on the beach.

Wondered why I have discovered this place earlier, smacked right in the backyard of my 6-yr old abode..... unlike the others I met there ... Peter's twin brother and CI Pma'am....

(btw....the early post on Sabah trip is not going to materialise.... and I don't want to recollect certain events.... but have posted the pic that reminds me I WILL go back there again....next yr...)
