There are two commercial runways at Changi International Airport and while i don't mind the bird's eye view of Pulau Ubin and Tekong (where i spent five days of my national service); i have always preferred the other runway that crosses the Singapore Straits.
Reason being i would be able to catch the amazing skyline of Singapore's central business district! And i would always say in my head: "Singapore is just so small"!
Even from the above picture, i can vaguely make out the skyline of Johor Bahru, which is the state capital of Johore, Malaysia; a mere 20 over kilometers up north.
Another breathtaking sight would be the many container ships traversing the emerald-green Singapore Straits; where about 2,000 ships travel along on a daily basis.
That patch of greenery is East Coast Park; a large section of which is land reclaimed in the 1970. Do you know that East Coast park is the largest park in Singapore?
Bedok jetty - back when i was obsessed with ghost stories, the jetty was one of the hot spots given its accessibility for the general public. For one of the haunted tales, click here.
Two last pictures as we were about to land; the second one showed the massive construction for the East Coast Integrated Depot. Once completed, it can house 200 trains from 3 MRT lines and over 500 buses!
