We decided we'd make a trip here just to see the new mall, cos' that's what locals do on weekends and public holidays.
Waterway Point is a very, very new mall situated at one extreme end of the island. Parts of it remain uncompleted still, it being not more than a month old at the time we went. But I'd heard there were interesting shops, including Daiso, a cinema, H&M, Starbucks and Coffee Bean and I wanted to just go and see- even if I wasn't sure whether I'd get anything or not.
And so there we were, wandering around, looking for a place for dinner, and then came out onto an outdoor terrace where there's some sort of grass for children to roll around.
How funny is it that for so long I must have passed this structure tens of times on a bicycle and not even known that they were constructing something there.
How funny is it that I didn't even know where this new structure was or where it stood until this sight greeted me, and only then I realized that I must have biked past this at least a couple of times.
Because this is the easiest, and most convenient route one takes from Pasir Ris to Sengkang. It's the route that you usually will find yourself in when you're heading in from the east side via the northeast and then off to elsewhere.
We've been there in the early part of the evenings and in the later part of the nights too. We've been here on warm evenings and also on rainy ones. We've been here after having started from East Coast Park to Changi Village to Loyang Avenue to Pasir Ris to Pasir Ris Farmway One, Two and Three to Lorong Halus before turning into this dark strip of road that leads to the Punggol Waterway Park.
Where the very spot where I'm standing right now is somewhere right in between of the park, and where to my left, leads to a McDonalds at a sports center which is a convenient pit stop for hungry and tired bikers who don't want to think about the d*** diet and just eat an apple pie.
It's not just one way.
We've also take this route whilst on the opposite side of the bank- I still get confused, and often I've gotten lost weaving myself in and out. But there's a road that leads you right up to Punggol Point where the jetty still stands and then it leads you up towards Seletar and then Yishun dam and Yishun and Lentor and Ang Mo Kio and Hougang and Eunos, or after Yishun, up further towards Mandai and Woodlands Road and Dunearn Road before heading down back east via Kampong Java towards Rochor and Nicoll Highway again.
