escapdes of a local sightseer #7 (part II): Sentosa Island, Jungle Trails


Before the start of Imbiah trail, there were signages and posters stating that the Imbiah trail is closed due to renovation works. It was weird though since no blockages were put up. I then continued...





And so the signages wasn't put up before the start of the trail for no reason. Part of the trail was indeed under construction. I then walked aimlessly around Sentosa looking for other jungle trail entrances/exits whatsover...



These tram rails were no longer in use. It was cut at some parts. Funny how they never removed the trails. The last time I rode the tram was back when I was in 3rd grade.


Old, abandoned cottages



At first, I was a lil' bit hesitant to go deep inside. It seemed like ages since the trail tracks encountered visitors. I went deep in nonetheless. At this point of time and place, if anything happens to me, no one will find out. But what bothered me most was snakes jumping right in front of my face. But wait, Are there still snakes or wild animals of some sort around Sentosa? an Island too civilized and reconstructed? Oh well, I didn't encountered any. Oh yea, except Peacocks who can't be bothered, playful squirrels jumping around and hordes of mosquito like insects biting me (bit exaggerated I know).



Then I saw a random side exit, a cycling path beside the coast.



In the end, I didn't get to cover the whole Sentosa jungle trail. Some parts were closed for construction and some parts were just lost (or was I lost?). I never bother to look at the map. I didn't even have a map. I followed my feet. Time was an issue as well.

It seemed like the jungle trails of Sentosa are now long forgotten. Throughout the whole trek, I've only encountered less than a handful souls. Everyone tend to flock and get stuck at the Universal Studios and Resort World Sentosa. Modernity has gotten the island visitors too focused on the man made entertainment sites and branded leisure spots that they forget the stress-free environment friendly regions of the island.

where should I go next?!
