I started the trip just across the road from my apartment block. The GPS receiver is set at 15 secs interval and is strapped onto my watch.

This used to be a T-junction where Pasir Ris Drive 4 meets Pasir Ris Drive 3. Pasir Ris Drive 4 now is extended to Jalan Loyang Besar. I walked along the new stretch of road.
