To Punggol, With Love

[eikin]

Hmm.. I've never been to Ponggol on a shoot, but you mean you can just go walking around Matilda House with a camera taking shots?? No issues of Trespassing??

I heard the dang house is haunted and accursed or something, or is it just rumours??

haven't heard of any problem with people doing photography there.

those stories about the house being haunted, just rumours

Very nice pictures taken, its just awesome. Must make a trip down to this ulu place in Punggol. Just hope nothing bad happens to me or my equipment. The house should be ok i guess, photography should be fine.

was back in singapore for a short while last week, passed by the orange path i highlighted in the map, looks like it's shrouded by tall grasses

Hi,

Very informative, but I could have missed out the best season to visit the Lalang field. Which month?

Many Thanks!

i believe it's difficult to find white fluffy lalangs nowadays, but there are those spiky golden ones. dryer seasons are better if you want to see full grown lalang stalks.

Though I live a stone-throw away from Punggol, but do know there are some changes. Not like before liao. Sob Sob. :cry:

Good thread & nice work, eikin! Looks like there are still many spots in Punggol that i haven't explored. Anyway, here are a couple of shots i took in Punggol:
