"Barat" means "west" in Malay. This morning, we visited the little island just opposite Seletar camp, separated by the inlet fondly known as the "Wet Gap". Now that the arch bridge linking mainland and the island has been completed, traffic can now access the island.
We rode through some trails that led us to several scenic spots. I could see the entire 35 SCE from across and I wonder if security has been compromised now that Pulau Punggol Barat is accessible by the public. Further down the trail, we could see the exposed runway of Seletar Airport in fine detail, something that one rarely gets to observe in our little country. Separating us from the main road was a huge field of lalang in full bloom. The morning sun was just creeping up. On the other side of the island, the Straits of Johor was in clear view. Perhaps, it is only a matter of time before urbanization destroys these spots of "untouched" nature.
I had my favourite "zui gui" and "dao hui zui" at the Chong Pang Hawker Centre before heading for home. It sure beats lazing the morning away.
Total distance: 32km
Money spent: $2.50
Participants: LSH, Alrasvee, Max, Nicholson
