I have always wanted o walk along the Lower Seletar Reservoir in the early morning. for the Past few weekends, I have been trying to wake up early but it seemed to escape me till this weekend just gone by. We were up and walking by 6.45 and the sight at the reservoir was worth the long walk. The sun had just got above the clouds and was a beautiful morning. The air was hot but slightly misty over the water. They are updating and building along the waters edge. 
Not one to normally take a photo into the sun...but this one was worth the effort...although it wasn't till i checked my photos later how worth while it was. 
We ride the train past here each time we go to work and the water is always a place we look to see what is happening. In the background you can see the train going into town. It takes us around 25 minutes from Yishun to the heart of Singapore.
The locals fish off this jetty. We have seen them catch some fish but they haven't been big ones. They use a mixture of bait and lures.
Wayne is standing in the corner, the local is crossing to fish for the big one on the other side of the jetty and the train is on its way to Khatib. The stop before ours. It is always a lovely place to walk and mingle but it was just lovely this morning. While riding we often watch the locals fishing off the rocks alongside the train train track so today we decided to walk along there. Today there was nobody fishing there. We usually see monitor lizards and little turtles on the rocks but not today.
We knew the train curved along here but didn't realise just how much until we walked underneath the tracks. Now I know why I need to hold on while travelling this part of our route.
by now the time is 9 am and it's breakfast time. We go off to catch a bus home and find out we are on the wrong side of the road and to cross the expressway we need to jump a big ditch. We looked at each other and decided to catch the next bus to it's destination and have breakfast there. Bus 965 arrive and Sengkang here we come! After breakfast we had another dilemma, so we consulted the bus time tables and selected Pasir Ris. 
Pasir Ris Park has a fishing pond in the middle. The locals pay money to come and catch the fish. they can bring their own gear or hire the gear. It seemed that many people come and fish there as there were chairs and rod holders all around this pond.
After a wander here it was getting close to lunchtime. Singapore has many park connectors where you can hire bikes at one end and drop them at the other. We did this...for $12 for 2 hours! We got onto the bikes and headed for the mangrove boardwalk before starting out for Changi Beach. So much to see and too much to take in.
This bird was up in the tree quietly eating a fruit. Enough diversion, now it was time to cycle to Changi. The bike guy said it would take about an hour. he was spot on with his timings. We saw many things we hadn't seen before, temples hidden down little streets, birds of many different colours but they wouldn't stay still long enough to photograph. We dropped our bikes off at the bike place and walked nextdoor for a late lunch...by now the time is 1.45pm.
We were lucky to get a table that looked out towards the see. Lunch cost $51 - including a set meal of sambal (spicy) fish for Wayne and steak for me. accompanied with a pea soup, papaya fruit for desert and either a coffee/tea or cold sprite/coke. We did have a beer and a RTD. Beautiful meal in a beautiful setting.Right underneath the flight path!
Lunch over we walked to the end of Changi Beach and went for a stroll along the shops and eating places to wee where we would eat next time. Once again we consulted the bus timetable and selected a bus to take us to Bishan where we stocked up on groceries before heading home to cook dinner. Arriving home we were still hot and dusty so shed our clothes to put on our togs and have a lovely cooling swim before cooking dinner.Such a long day and two tired bodies relaxed after the swim and dinner with a lovely cold wine to round off an adventurous day.
