200km

We have been doing quite a fair bit of travelling around Singapore partly because we stayed in the extreme east and west of Singapore and also, having stayed in Spore for the past 25 years, I haven't been to a lot of places in Spore, and thus some of our partor venue includes the uncommon partor places...

We went to Labrador Park and Jurong Hill yesterday night.

Labrador Park is an oasis of tranquility and natural wonder. The park offers a picturesque view of the sea. We found a nice place called Moon Ladder, which is now shortlisted for our ROM venue (kinda early, but never too early to do some research)

The Man drove to the Jurong Hill, the place where he would visit when he was vexed. At Jurong Hill, there were a couple of landmark trees as they were planted by our foreign visitors like Queen Elizabeth, The Duke of some English places, the late Suharto etc...

The tower at Jurong Hill overlooked Jurong Island. There were a lot of weird looking structures. The Man said that these are oil refinery. He recalled that he used to drive into the Island and test the limit of the car. Its like Fast and Furious live before your eyes. Of course, all the drifting and speeding stopped when the checkpoint was built after the 911 incident.

We also passed by Esso Mobile Oil Refinery. All the ladders and weird looking structure look more like Hykiel's lab. The air was filthy, no wonder people living there behaved weirdly, oops sorry! No offense.

Singapore, a little red dot of the map, but yet theres so many places that I've never been to. The Man promised that we will visit these places one by one, and when we are old and recalled the past, we accompanied each other. :)
