Within the blink of the eye..
We have lived here for 23 years..
When I was about fourteen, Don eleven, Ming nine, the youngest one five..
Daddy and mommy used to bring us to the reservoir every Sunday evening without fail..
They would scrimp and save to buy us decent bicycles..
Some were hand-me-downs..
So four bicycles in tow, somehow or another two of us would take turns to walk.
We loved the outing.
Sometimes my cousins would join us..
Sometimes the brothers fought among themselves over silly things..
Sometimes daddy would be in a foul mood..
Sometimes we would ride recklessly and fall and bleed..
Then chided furiously..
But most of the time
We enjoyed the breeze, enjoyed the water, and enjoyed nature.
And learned from the falls =)
Carrying four bicycles up four storeys was not a joke..
But that was never a problem for us..
Dinner always tasted so much better after some sun and some activities.
That was daddy and mommy’s way of family togetherness.
So about fifteen years later..
They revamped the whole area..
Lower Seletar Reservoir
Colors filled the night..
Perfect symmetry
The air was so still..
Charlotte's working hard at it..
Ingenious designer of its web..
The closer the threads are woven together..
The lower the chance of a prey's escape.
Yishun has come a long way..
Taking a stroll after dinner..
Soothing calm water..
Just like a balm to the heart..
The view from the bridge that was stretched to the middle of the reservoir..
