I finally managed my curiosity as to what's on the other side of the river. On Sunday morning, together with about 50 other runners doing the 2nd run of the TNF Trail Run Series, we ran from Tampines Road to Lorong Halus and remarkably in urban buildup Singapore, managed to run 16 km of trails and what could pass for bushland and swamp!
There was thick vegetation to bash through
Wet ground to run on
More wet and this time slimy oily ground!
And also wide open ground
We got muddied, baked and toasted but I believe everybody enjoyed running in this new ground, hearing the chirping of the birds and the total absence of vehicle noise (except for the short stretch along Tampines Road).
