Bedok Reservoir

Bedok reservoir is a reservoir located in the eastern part of singapore, to the north of Bedok New Town.
And i am staying just beside of this beautiful reservoir. I always thinking of going there to take some photo but too lazy to walk there. Hehe..
A lot of people like to jogging and fishing there. And a lot of water activities such as wakeboarding, sailing, kayaking and canoeing can be found here.
The scene there is very beautiful especially after rain and evening time when the sunset.
A heavy rain just stop few minutes ago and the sun is coming out now..I check on my watch,it show 4:45pm.
Yea..Maybe today is the time to go there take some evening scene photo. And maybe can take some sunset photo if i am lucky. :)
Let's go !!!

Now on the way to the Merlion Statue which is located just beside the Esplanade.

Merlion Statue -The Merlion Statue, 8.6 m high and weighing 40 tons, is one of Singapore's national icon. As an emblem, it was designed by Fraser Brunner for the Singapore Tourism Board. Later, the vice-chancellor of the University of Singapore, Kwan Sai Kheong conceptualised the Merlion Statue which was thereafter constructed by Lim Nang Seng, a local craftsman. Since 15 September 1972, the Merlion statue and its cub had stood guard at the Mouth of the Singapore River at the Merlion Park. Exactly 30 years later, it was officially relaunched at its new home, the Merlion Pier, just off of One Fullerton.

My son never been to beach before. So it was a bit harsh for him when i "Force" him to walk toward the water with my wife.
At first he doesn't want to take off his shoe when i want to bring him walk beside the sea side.
After a "Harsh Order" from me,he finally walk slowly toward the water with my wife.


From his expression, i know that he still so scare when he saw the small wave come toward him.
My wife was laughing too when she saw the expression.
