10 Oct 2010 - Sengkang Riverside Park

We happened to pass by Sengkang area this afternoon. Everytime while we were driving along TPE, we always see an open space with greenery that looks like a park near Sengkang. As such, we decided to explore the area a bit. Before we reached the park, there was another big open field and there were many people flying kites. There was one kite that was extremely big. Driving further in, we finally saw the park. It's always a great feeling coming close to nature as we spent most of our time in the concrete forest.

The moment we entered tha park, we saw two ponds with long grasses all around.

The first friend that Jerlene and Javier made here is a tortoise by the side of the pond.

This park consists of different areas but we only stayed around one spot as it was too hot to walk to the other side of the park.

Nearby there was a big shed where many people, especially kids, were learning roller blading.

We suddenly remembered we had a picnic mattress in our car. So I took it out and we all had a small picnic there. As the weather was really hot, we all took out our water bottles and had a water parade.

Though the weather was hot, it was pretty windy as well. That struck us and we took out our kite (also happened to be in our car) and it's time for a kite flying session. Jerlene was able to fly the kite herself. Javier was so funny as he was chasing the shadow of the kite at one time.

It was a tiring day (mainly due to the hot weather) but I believe we all enjoyed it...
