Then I saw this - sun peeking through the heavy clouds. It seemed like a promising start.
I took Twink and Hap out for a much shorter jaunt - to the big playground. It was a more manageable pace for both dogs and this hopelessly unfit person.
I took the train to Lakeside MRT and began my walk towards the right side of the lake, along Yuan Ching Road, the road that I have been commuting almost daily to work.
It was surprisingly breezy although a little humid. It was a decision to take a walk after all. Discovered a couple of new things:

| Lakeside Boardwalk |
It was an interesting mix of plants and flowers - looked a little weird till I read of their purpose and use.
 |
| I thought the flowers were stunning on the floating wetlands! |
 |
| Floating Wetlands |
Floating Wetlands with the purpose of absorbing pollutants and improving the quality of water in the lake as well as serve as a breeding ground for dragonflies
Next, I chanced upon the PA Water Venture - a place for canoeing and other water sports. It was unfortunately closed for some community sports event. Must check this out for possible family bonding activities.
Along the way, I saw retirees sitting along the benches - one was quietly playing Sudoku. A big group of senior adults (distinguishable by the colorful scarves they tied to their necks) were having an outing by the lake. It is what I called - Active Ageing! I think Singapore is beautiful - all we need is time and space to enjoy what we call as our Enduring Home.
Again I saw the sun shining through the rather gloomy clouds, thought it was a beautiful sight. Took more pictures along the way...
