Sunday, February 26, 2012 A Walk In the Park In order to de-stress from a week's of hard work. I suggested to baby that we shall take a walk in the park. During the week, I felt like I needed to be close to nature, in order to get my mind off work. However, nature wasn't very nice to us, because halfway through our walk, we were caught under the scorching sun. During the start of the walk, the seaside was very breezy, and the weather was very nice. There were clouds shielding us from the sun. Anyways, I tried to take some photos with my new iPhone 4s. Haha. I was amazed to see so many coconuts on the coconut tree, and the coconuts were all ripe.  And also the kelongs. I thought they should be extinct by now. We went to take a walk in the mangrove swamp. I saw this on the National Parks website, which is the reason why we went to Pasir Ris Park in the 1st place. There is a boardwalk, which is about 1m-1.5m above the mangrove, for visitors to walk on.I thought there wouldn't be anyone there, because according to me, there isn't much to see there. However, we saw at least 15 people while walking there, and I am guessing some of them actually go there on a frequent basis for photography. There were some people setting up their huge-ass professional cameras, while I was snapping photos with my phone. Haha. There were many cobwebs across the boardwalk, and if you are not careful, you can easily walk into one.  Crabs. There were so many of them in the swamp. There is a small mudskipper here, well camouflaged in the mud. If you can't see it, it just mean that it's a master. Haha. We went to one of the look out points on the boardwalk, where we get to see a part of the river, or canal. We were supposed to find fishes that kills insects by spitting water on them, and water snakes. We saw none of those though, instead we saw jellyfishes in the murky water. There are 3 in the picture below. Can you spot them? Close-up of a jellyfish. The tentacles are like pockets. In the midst of our walk, we heard a loud, strange, and scary sound. I thought there was some huge dangerous animal in the mangrove. Later we found out that the sound was actually from these birds. A huge mudskipper. According to one of the signboards, there are 2 types of mudskippers that can be found in the mangrove. One type is the giant mudskipper, the other is the tiny one. The giants can only be found in the deeper parts of the mangrove.  Another crab near the hole. Similar to the mudskipper, bigger ones can be found in deeper parts of the mangrove. Another huge mudskipper. To be honest, the reason why I wanted to go there is because I wanted to see one of these huge mudskippers. Shells. There are any to be seen there as well. However, as they didn't move, I have no idea whether they are dead or alive. After we exited from the mangrove, we went to the Kitchen Garden. Most of the signboards had faded off, so we had no idea what type of vegetable or plant we were looking at. There was this part where it says European Herbs (probably the only signboard which didn't fade), and those herbs were very pretty.  Looks like it's taken in another country.      Found the park connector, which connects to Sun Plaza Park, and we decided to try to walk back. Bad decision, because I was wearing slippers. Halfway through the way, I can feel the stress on my knees, and my legs were sooooooo tired. Luckily I was with my wonderfully encouraging and understanding boyfriend. We shall continue to explore more parks/nature reserves, because it's really a cheap way to spend the whole day together. |
