Singapore - Today, a small group of friends and I decided to do something simple yet refreshing, an evening walk from Punggol MRT to Coney Island’s West Gate. It wasn’t a grand adventure by any means, but sometimes, the best moments come from the simplest plans. The sun was already dipping low when we started out, casting that soft golden light that makes everything look just a little more beautiful. We met at Waterway Point Mall and it was a nice walk to Coney Island.
The walk from Waterway Point Mall to Coney Island took us about 30 minutes at a comfortable pace. Along the way, we passed the familiar sights of the Punggol Waterway, the calm reflections on the canal, and families cycling or jogging past. The air carried a hint of salt from the nearby sea, mingled with the scent of wild grass and the quiet chatter of people ending their day outdoors. It reminded us of how much Singapore still offers in terms of nature; even amidst urban surroundings, there’s a pocket of calm waiting to be discovered.
When we finally reached the Coney Island West Gate, the rustic wooden sign and surrounding greenery welcomed us like an invitation to slow down. The path ahead stretched invitingly, shaded by tall casuarina trees swaying lightly in the evening breeze. We had hoped to make it all the way to the East Gate, but the gates closed at 7pm sharp. With the sky beginning to darken, we decided not to rush — instead, we took our time capturing the beauty around us.
