Tanjong Berlayar Park Extension

Thess are pictures of the extension of the Tanjong Berlayar Park, which was situated at the end of Labrador Villa Road and Port Road.

So far, I had been posting histories. With the advent of the New Year 2008 and still the coming soon of 1 Muharram 1429 of the Islamic Calendar, which fall on 10 Jan 2008, I am looking forward to post current affairs.

No...no...no...not political or economic affairs.....but rather everyday affairs in my life. You may say its my Life Journal.

On 1 Jan 2008, my wife & I revisited, one of our favorite park in the vicinity of Pasir Panjang and Alexandra Road junction.

Although we were dissapointed with the Nasi Padang and the banana fritters (goreng pisang) that we packed from the Labrador Food Centre, we were amazed at the new discovery of the new extension of the Tg berlayar Park.

There is now an amphibious vehicle landing and launching facilities. Something like the one provided for the Duck Tours amphibious vehicle.

There are also brand new clean and very cosy toilet. Cosy it has an open-air concept. Not that people get to see you doing business, but rather, there are free flow of fresh air as there are ample open space, as it is not trendy with many public toilets. No more fans needed to flush stuffy air and to draw in fresh air....saving electiricty huh...

There were many fishermen and fisherwomen on that bright morning. Many children were brought along by their parents too. Many families also came for recreation. I saw some Europeans families too. Majority were Malay families.

I saw that a Minister had just visited the venue earlier on that new year morning at 7:30 am.

We were there at at about 10:30am to 11:30am and no wonder we found there were many vehicles and we did not get to park our car nearby but at a far distant gravel car park.

There were also many chartered buses to ferry the attendants to the nearby public transport place. I think there was a Community Club family day earlier on with the Minister.

Now you can probably walk all the way to Bukit Chermin Golf Club at the KEPPEL BAY.

From here the view of Sentosa is also very clear and seems to be very near, like you can swim across, if not for the ferry services to Batam.
