Now I'm absolutely smashed.

Reservoirs are the closest thing we have in Singapore to beautiful lakes which other countries have. Vast bodies of water are beautiful because you can see all the way through to the other side, there are no trees or buildings growing on water to block the way, and I guess the mind is perpetually tricked by scale and the vast amounts of light it suddenly takes it, especially when you've emerged from close terrain in the jungle.

Reservoir carparks have also earned a rather seedy, or romantic, reputation. I think, I guess, they're one of the few bastions of quiet in the city.

There was also a lighthouse like thing, which I guess is the main tower of the pumping station. There's the bund which is associated with most pumping stations. Apart from Macritchie, one of our most accessible reservoirs, I remember going to Upper Pierce Reservoir park, there's large fields where you can play frisbee or you could even sprint up and down the bund to expend the infinite energy you had as a kid.

Still the Central Catchment reservoirs are beautifuller because of the little fingers that they possess, and the fact that there is actually some terrain variation 60-70m and some primary vegetation.

i'm late... outdated!
