Exploring Lorong Harlus and Punggol Waterway~

This gonna be a short and random post, got inspired after I change my blog banner hehe. 

I always try to find new places to explore with the dogs at every opportunity (in other words, when I have free transport :P), so by far here are the places we've visited, you can spend a weekend and bring your furkids there too! 

1) The place we frequent most in the past 2 years:
Lorong Harlus Nature Reserve

Why this place? Because it's the nearest, nicest and most walkable place around Pasir Ris Farmway.
It is quite a long drive from the main road 

The road that leads to Harlus 

We used to have packwalk there and just chill and enjoy the beautiful scenery. 

There are 2 resting place for you to sit and rest while taking a break, so don't worry.

We go there like every other week, but it is always nice to come here.

Take a break from the city life and enjoy the serenity, you will love it.

It is also a common place where people have their pre-wedding photoshoot!

Ps: On lucky days, you get to spot Otters running around too. Remember to hold on to your dog ah! Tui wanted to chiong towards the otters and I see the 2 poor otters literally running for their lives.

I swear they are quite big and long.

How to get there? 

Most of you probably have to drive there if you are bringing your dog, so.. ON YOUR GOOGLE MAP LAH, the lady will direct you.

For those going there by public transport without your pets:

You can take Bus Services 3, 83, 85, & 569 Alight at Blk 166A, Riviera LRT station

You might not want to go from Pasir ris because you have to take a bus to the main road outside Farmway 2, then walk sibeh far in like perhaps 45 min, by the time you reach there you pengsan already.

2) Runner-up:
Punngol Waterway

Why? Because it's just a bridge away from Lorong Harlus. hahaha. So at times when we have more energy, we will walk over to the other side and enjoy even MORE scenery!People usually go there on weekends as a family trip, there are quite a number of cyclists too, so do take note and try not to off-leash your dog.


Wah, I think my photography skills not bad hor?
#thankstothefilters

*The sheltered area on the left has water coolers, so you can refill your water bottle and at the same time quench your pup's thirst.




A big area for them to roll about too. If you are lucky, you can spot some Charmander small monitor lizard or char-melon there too.


Then you walk over...

Cross the bridge...  omg sibeh fat. Just ignore okay I am too lazy to edit away the excess meat. 

Looks like a little island.

And when you cross over: 

Okay this is one super old #throwback about 2 years ago..DONT YOU MISS THEM ?!

Left: Joy, Yenyen, Tui and Nicole

Super old throwback again. Spot Hongwee, fengyi and huiyi ^^ like 2 years ago?

& while the humans starts taking tons of instagram-worthy pictures..

The fidos will find a way to entertain themselves~ 

#throwback of Yenyen rolling on the round haha 

Does her thigh reminds you of the turkey you ate last xmas?

#filterdoeswonder.

Got seksek anot this picture.

Hinthint: Find this in the previous Pets magazine issue!

For those with younger kids, its a good place for them to explore and get near to nature instead of the usual shopping malls and staying home to play ipad. ;)

DISCLAIMER: THEY ARE NOT MY KIDS HOR HAHAHAH. 

 There's a SUNRISE BRIDGE where you can have an overview of the area, nice breezy place to chill with your dogs :) 

We took some "family" pic the previous time we went there hehe.

On the Sunrise bridge

This is a #throwback pic of Swissroll chilling there. See the golden sunrays on him?

After the trip, you can walk further down to have some food at the near by food eateries (Sorry ah, I know there are a few cafes/ fast food/ restaurants around that area but I have not personally been there, so cannot advise you) Punggol people, if you don't mind perhaps you can share too?

Stay tuned to find out the other places that we have visited ! :D

Ciaos~

When big T meets small T (Toy & Tui first meeting)

You know hor, ever since I adopted Toytoy, I have been day-dreaming of letting them meet one another. I am very curious about what will both their reaction be like, will they fight? will they like each other? and I want to prove my parents wrong (that Tui is fierce and scary) HAHAH! My mum always say Toy will sure die if Tui were to attack her. But a part of me knows that somehow or rather, their character and frequency are about the same - Zen and hate dogs! HAHA! They prefer to be with humans, and both super dislike hyper active dogs, so just nice they wouldnt chase each other around and risk being attacked.

A year passed and I finally told myself, its now or never! JUST BRING ONLY!

And so we brought Toytoy down to farmway to pick Fatty Swissroll up. Imagine the mixture of excitement + nervousness + ah ji pa lang emotions when I brought Tui out of the farm.

Bip Bop Bip Bop.

Toytoy was in the front seat and fatty got onto the car behind. 

To my surprise, Toytoy gan gan BARK at Tui! (She usually doesnt do that to other dogs, the most she growl when they keep sniffing her and she has no where to run). 

Tui went over and tried to sniff her while wagging his tail ( AGAIN IM VERY AMAZED).

And then the small one decided to sit down properly. And so we drove over to Harlus~ 

On the way Toy popped her head to peep at Tui and this time round it's Tui's turn so he growled a little and I stopped him. Peace after that~ 

*Through out the way you can see Toytoy diao-ing Tui from the front, or even when she walk beside him* jealous perhaps?

As it is their first meeting and I am still not sure if the dogs will ki siao and start fighting anot, I kept a distance away between the two. ya lah i kia su kia si. But why risk it right, slowly ma.. 

Will let the pictures do the talking okay: 

Sorry for the very tak-glam Boyfriend behind. You will see this pose very frequently from now onwards. 

Letting Toytoy observe Tui while Tui trys to earn his treat from Bf

A happy girl

Somebody conquered his fear for big dog and gave Tui a big hug, then turn over and say: "You see even Tui accepted me".

This is also Toytoy's first trip to Harlus. Most of the time I only brought her out to dog cafes. I guess she prefers out door places like this.. See!

Carefree dog! 

And she continue running..... NEVER STOP!!!! 

I have to chase after her to bring her back -_- 

#justwhenyouthoughtyourrecallworks

and your dog ran way past u... T_T

Toytoy: Heh heh paiseh lah, I got too carried away by the beautiful scenery and space to run :P

Meanwhile..
The lazy big T..

Eat and eat..

Ah wai korkor got more treats bo?

Tui: Chill la huh.. i come here so often come until sian liao.. Let me nua here ~ 

Got free massage summore..

Toytoy: Aiyo I run till so tired liao.. need to rest..

We need some human pics afterall

This is like their closest already. Tui went for a short walk, then walk over to sniff Toytoy and we quickly separate them. #kiasi 

Considering the fact that Tui is so anal to other dogs, this is very good already hor? :)

But most of the times he is more okay with small dogs as compared to dogs of his size. He tends to sniff the smaller dog butt and hump other smaller dog at the dog run -_-"

Time to go home loh~ lalala~ 

Toytoy: Mummy can you bring me out more often? 

Stay tuned to our #theadventuresoftuiandtoy! 

TATA!
