Seletar here i come~~

From Kranji reservoir a few months back, i went on to explore MacRitchie resvr few weeks ago, followed by the Upper and Lower Pierce Reservoirs 2 weeks ago. Today, I decided to make my way to visit the last 2 largest reservoirs found in Singapore Central Catchment area - Upper and Lower Seletar Reservoir.

The places i visited today:
1) Neo Tew Ave 3 (the other side of Kranji reservoir)
2) Kranji forests (where the major water pipe lines are)
3) Lim Chu Kang jetty
4) Lower Seletar reservoir/jetty
5) Upper Seletar reservoir


Started my day at Neo Tew ave 3 which is abt 20 min car ride deeper down from NTU. There was a gantry which stopped us from driving deeper, so we have to start walking.



Along the way there, we saw some huge water pipelines which carry water from the Kranji reservoir to the mainland.


Finally we reached the waters. Look at the clouds and sky! The clouds are so damm beautiful and the sky looks much 'cleaner' and 'healthier' compared with the skies we have in the urban cities. The kranji water side is so peaceful tat we cant find a single soul there.


We turned back and climbed up the giant pipelines which brought us deep into the forested grounds - not v easy to keep balanced though.


Very nice and peaceful scenery by my side as i walked along the giant piplines, accompanied by endless greeneries and bird chirpings. We also found a tree with at least 30 over nests built on it. My fren taught me how to differentiate betw nests that are meant for shelters and those meant for laying eggs and nuturing the offsprings.

And we ended our pipeline walk emerging out from a chicken farm, where the owner asked us what we wanted. V paisehly, we told her we wanna get out from the farm to our car, and she led us to the gate :D Our next destination was the Lim Chu Kang jetty which has a metal gate that only allows authorised fisherman to enter. My fren and I managed to sneak in successfully, but we found ourselves kena 'lock out' from outside - means we were stranded on the jetty and couldnt get back to mainland. Luckily, a fisherman came by and 'release' us from outside.


Lower Seletar Reservoir and the Seletar reservoir Jetty. Nothing magnificent, but simply a carefree and lazy place to chill out. So relaxing manz...


Final destination at Upper Seletar Reservoir. This rocket-look-a-like structure is the viewing tower. I think that it has a pretty modern look, considering the fact that it was built in the 1970s.


Views from the tower at different directions.


And i ended my day with a pair of torn sandles. Both pieces give way at the same time, with the side straps torn and soles coming off. Fortunately the design came with some strings which i use to tie them temporarily but firmly to my feet.

Nice places... i wanna visit them again.
