To Punggol, With Love

Oh okie. What time of the day did you take the Number 6 shot?

Also, was the dirt track u took for Number 1 smooth all the way? Any water barrier or bushes/ grass to bash through? If so, how did you "solve" the problems?

Track not supposed to be that far from the drain, right?

#6 was taken during sunrise, tide time changes everyday according to the movement of moon. high tide timing differs day to day at roughly 40-60 minutes difference (later), from there you can roughly calculate the tide times a few days later by knowing the tide times of for example today or yesterday.

the dirt track has no barrier, it starts with a dirt track and later lead into a semi tarred pathway. it's not far from the drain.

i'll do a drive-by shoot of the location of the drain tomorrow (if possible)

Is the areas towards the drain still cover by the high grass?

Yup. All the way is all just high grass. Bring your repellent!

A Field Report

Hi guys, went to no.1 this morning..the mouth of the river.. 1st time going in, went alone lah. was there at about 7plus am.

My takeaway lessons..

1) always walk with ur tripod (maybe ur monopod) in front of ur face... say about 20cm infront.. helps break thru the spider webs that was made earlier in the night.

2) Do Not wear jeans. if you are gng early in the morn. the early morning dew is going to wet ur jeans, ....yea..wet ur pants.. making ur jeans heavy. luckily i was wearing a pair of cotton long pants. by end of everything, from my thigh downwards..all wet.

3) wear worn out shoes. i was wearing sandals.. now..my sandals koyak already.. besides, i gotta lift my knees to walk.. u know..to prevent dragging my feet along the undergrowth as the blades of the grasses or roots may cut ur exposed part of the feet if u are wearing sandals. after my little fieldtrip, my legs tired coz of the lifting.

4) better to go wif a partner, coz if sae u sprain ankle or fall (*touch wood*), at least got someone with u.

5) morning, no mozzies. i din get a single bite.

think tats all i have. thanks for reading.
