The Way of Water takes us around Sengkang and Punggol, following the two rivers. Starting at Buangkok MRT, we visited the Sengkang Grand Mall which recently opened. Then we went to Kampong Lorong Buangkok, Sengkang Riverside Park (where we saw that weird mangosteen in the middle of the river) and Jewel Bridge. Afterwards, we saw the Punggol Point Jetty and Park, and Coney Island. We ended at Hougang after visiting Punggol Park.
We bought bread and water at Buangkok MRT (the Fairprice?? opposite the mall). We ate our bread at SRP, PP Jetty, and Coney Island where we got stranded. Then proper lunch was at Rivervale Plaza (McDonald's), while we waited out another rainstorm.
I think the first part of the journey was the best, as it's nice to see the KLB and the SRP, some unique parts of Singapore. THE PAIN PART WAS WHEN IT RAINED WHILE WE WERE IN CONEY ISLAND. Omg it was a real hopscotch experience, as the main road was flooded with ankle-deep water. We had to jump from one dry spot to another, and it was quite tiring. But we did it together =).
The best time to go is when the SIT campus and Punggol Coast MRT open up, as it's more convenient to rest there if it starts to rain. Don't be a fool and enter the Coney Island when it's raining. It's not fun. Also, wait for Lorong Halus to open up. The red bridge is worth seeing and taking pictures on.
