Heavy metal poisoning and littering

[Simon]

if anyone finds a 58mm lens, please return to me

Haha, might be organising another trip in march. We shall sift through the mysteriously appearing coconuts for your lens.

[benny]

It's a Canon 58 mm 500D close up filter. Not a lens. Very premium stuff.

Cheers,

My "hunting" list suddenly looks like this now:

1. Canon 58 mm 500D close up filter
2. Channa lucius
3. Coconut tree
4. Duck pond
5. Betta pugnax

Heh, curiousity got the better of me

[benny]

Can you add my parker pen to the list? Is a silver rollerball. Near the duck pond where the big rock is.

Thanks!

Cheers,

Are we becoming treasure hunters? "Stream Raiders"
How much are we going to charge?

[XnSdVd]

Haha, you're the bussiness guy, you tell me. I say we make it a reality series somehow...

[budak]

More like Raiders of the Lost Longkang.....

How can you expect to find duck pond without bringing a duck along??

[Weirong]

Yah, bring your video cam!
"Raiders of the Lost Longkang" Episode 1 starts filming next month!

And we might need to loan some props, including budak's duck!

[XnSdVd]

Well, we'll be raiding the lost longkang this sat if anyone's interested. Apparently I'm organising so let me know if you're coming. Photographers are welcome too.

Hmm... that's exactly like the thicket we saw, was the stream between the road and thicket? If so then the pond would've been on the other side of it. Unfortunately there was a small ravine that separated us. Appears to have been carved out by the river.

And just so we're clear, I'm talking about the one at venus drive.

1979 is a long time past to remember clearly today. What I do remember, I could hear the traffic on Upper Thomson Rd from the pond.

The stream had eroded its bed, 1-man's height below ground level then. Maybe it is deeper now, although I doubt it will be much more to be a ravine.

There's also another duck pond if you cross the small road that lead to Island Club. This one is within sight of Upp Thomson Rd, also by a bamboo thicket, this one has green canes.

If you are interested to look for old ponds, you should get yourself an old Singapore 1:50,000 topographic map, 1980 edition.

I think the government require all ponds to be drained when the owners vacate the lot, so no point expending great effort looking for the spot as it's probably an overgrown bog now. But the shoots of that bamboo bush is edible... smells like piss when you carry it home though.

Enjoy but be careful.

Hmmm... Well, it'd be nice to find an old kampong on the side. But the main idea of going there would be to check out fish and plants. Though if I found a duck... WOW!
