Henderson Waves

New things attract attention, and new buildings attract crazy Singaporeans and its foreign workers, like us, who have nothing better to do during weekends.

Its advertised in the local papers that a new pedestrian bridge was built somewhere in one of the nature parks, and was named Henderson Waves. Its the highest pedestrian bridge in the world, wow, that's some selling point and thus became a 'must-see' item in Singapore !

Four languages on a signboard, shame on you Malaysia.


We started our journey near Harbourfront MRT station. We have to track uphill towards the jungle.....and was amazed by our first 'sight'. A weird looking tree.......that resembles....something.
A tree?


The old saying of "There's two sides of a coin" sounds very true when you can think that :
  1. There's nature within the hustle and bustle of the city of Singapore.
  2. There's no escape of the view of the city even though you are in any nature park of Singapore.
It depends on how looks at it though....
Concrete Jungle within jungle?

Nevertheless, we dragged our body towards the peak of the hill......which is around 65m above sea level......
Old liao......

We still go on with our main business, taking photos along the way.

You know you see an artistic person when he takes photos in weird angles.


The bridge is crooked, no wavey, no, it straight.....urgh...it confusing !
Trying to be an artist
A wavy bridge?

Good day out, some light workout and some good photo shooting.
It's considered an excellent outdoor trip in Singaporean term, or at least to foreign workers like us.

Anyway, too lazy to write a lot,(maybe nothing to blog about)so read the description in the photo here yourself!

A wonderful day!

You just know its a wonderful day when:

1.) There's no one in the MRT train when you board it.
2.) You can sit throughout the 30-minute MRT trip.
3.) You meet a friend in the MRT and you manage to have a conversation.
4.) The sun was hiding behind the clouds when you walk towards your office.
5.) The traffic lights turn green whenever you intend to cross the road.
6.) You are the earliest to reach the office.
7.) You are being assigned to an "overseas" assignment in KL for one week.
8.) You know you have a bus ticket going towards your home country tonight.

When it comes to the extreme, don't you just appreciate little things like this?

Time to move on

It was time to move on.

And I moved on.

The future is uncertain, but uncertainty makes human better human.

Certainty makes human robots.

People question me, but I have more than enough strong valid reasons for my actions taken.

For the time being, I just fancy sleeping with a pillow on a Singaporean SMRT bus.
