Puala Semakau Intertidal Walk

Puala Semakau Intertidal Walk

This is the area whereby the boats will send the ash of rubbish to. From here, trucks would be loaded with the ashes and then transported to the dumping area on the island itself.

Rest assured there are no foul smell on this island as the rubbish are already in the ashes form. :)

I had the chance to go for a Intertidal Walk at Puala Semakau 2 weekends ago.
The Semakau Landfill is Singapore’s only landfill for waste dispoal, and it is only accessible by boat, a close to 50 mins boat ride.

The marine life at the shore during low tides are plentiful, as you will see from my photos later on in the next few days. :)

From here you can see the types of fruits as well as food that is being offered on the table.
Notice the red paper that is being coiled around all fruits?? Red is an auspicious color among the Chinese, especially during the Chinese New Year Period.

Do you notice the pig as well? It represents roast pig!! But in actually fact, it is just jelly that is in the shape of a roast pig. :)

And to the left of the “roast pig” are delicacies called Ang-Gu-Kuey. The fillings in there are peanuts and yellow bean paste. Of course there are others types of fillings, but these 2 are the most common ones. My favorite is the one with peanut filling.

This is a photo that was taken about 2 weeks back at my home.
It was the 9th day of the Lunar New Year, and some people would be offering food and praying to the “Heaven Palace” (Tian Gong in chinese) during this day. It was a way of praying for the well-beings of the whole family in the new year.

Look at the long candles, it would take more than a day to finish. :P

Sentosa Flowers 2009

Although this exhibit did not won any prize, this has become one of my favourite.
It gives a very down to earth and homely feeling, and got that bit of Japan taste in it.
I guessed is the umbrellas that made it have that kind of unique feeling. :)
