It is Hari Raya Aidil Fitri, a public holiday today.
We ventured to Labrador Nature Reserve today. There have been several changes to the park since we visited it many years ago.
The new additions included - 1. Bukit Chermin boardwalk leading to Keppel Bay Bridge/Keppel Island 2. Berlayer Creek Boardwalk, exploring Mangrove trees
There are three parking lots in the Nature Reserve. We park our car at Car park 2, then walked towards the coastal track.

We turned left, and walked towards the Red Beacon. I walked passed the man-made Dragon Tooth Gate without realizing it. (The original Dragon Tooth Gate, aka rock formation that resembled that of a tooth, used in ancient days as a gateway for entrance into the harbour, had been demolished many years back).

Walking further along the coastal track, we reached a T-junction. The track to the right leads one to the Bukit Chermin Boardwalk; the one on the left leads to Berlayer Creek Boardwalk (which runs parellel to a stream that support Mangrove habitat).

Made a loop back to Berlayer Creek Boardwalk - exploring the Mangroves plantation.
The Berlayer Creek Boardwalk leads to Labrador MRT station. We made a U turn, back to main compound of Labrador Nature Reserve.
We spent about 1.5 hour exploring the some of the tracks in Labrador Nature Reserve. We did not have time to explore the old/abandoned British battlements,
If you are mesmerized by coastal view, iconic buildings and marina bay - this is a place for you!
The iconic Reflection @ Keppel can be seen from various points -
