“I think we have enjoyed the house for a year, it is time we get out of the house,” said my father. So, we all popped into the car, and headed to East Coast Park for a family outing – something we have not done ever since we moved into our spacious, new home.
I visited both West Coast and East Coast in the span of two weeks, and I still think East Coast would be the place for a stroll, kite flying, picnic, barbeque, fishing, sandcastles and everything else that rocks your boat… literally.
Of utmost importance, I found that there were new and clean toilets. Getting sand between the toes will be a total bliss, rather than blister. Just enjoy the sand and sea, and the toilet makes washing convenient.
Another new thing I discovered: tandem bicycles are not so cool anymore. Instead, there are these cute 5-paddeller-trishaw-looking bicycles. Families from young to old are just having so much fun on them. Even the littlest children are having fun, especially since they are the ones with legs so short, they cannot reach the paddle.
Apart from that East Coast is good ol’ East Coast. This one beach carries memories – from jog-a-thons, to bicycle outings, and barbeques. It’s every Singaporean’s beach. That is why it was so heartwarming to see families hang out together on National Day, decorating the shore with waves of red and white.
It is a good place to drop by, whether or not we need the reassuring sound of the crashing waves.
