The story of the gigantic "lizard"...

On 1st day... During lunch time, there were a group of pple crossing the bridge above kallang river, when they were reaching the end of the bridge, they suddenly screamed and ran. Me & my friends who were walking some distance behind wondered what happen? We crossed the bridge safely.

The hawker centre at kallang has wide variety of food and almost all are delicious and cheap. To walk there from the offices, u muz cross a bridge. On the 2nd day, when me & my friend were crossing the bridge, from far i could see a head popping out of the gap between the drain covers of the bridge. Then after a while, it hid itself. I run across whenever i reach that end of the bridge, coz i dun wan to see the creature's head suddenly popping out to scare pple! And my friend looked into the hole where it is hiding, she said it looks like terrapin!!!!????? But i dun think is a terrapin coz it looks like a snake's head from afar! When we were returning to the office, we had to take the same route, another group of pple screamed at the same spot and walked on the road instead.

On the 3rd & 4th day, rainy weather...no sign of the head...

On 5th day, a sunny wednesday, when we are walkin back to the office, from far we saw something lying on the bridge, and my friend thought is a wooden stick!!!???? Looks rather fishy to have a wooden stick out of no where, coz there were no trees on the bridge. I slowed down my footsteps, and my friend, Dede is qte brave, she walked ahead of me to check out what is that, and guess what??? When she was nearing the so-called wooden stick, it moved!!!! It got up and started crawling, i could see its tongue sticking in and out like lizard's tongue!!! It is black in colour with 4 legs!!! It has long and smooth body which looks like that of a lizard! Except that it is a 100xs bigger in size!!! Dede was standing near to the reptile and it probably got scared and crawled back into one of the holes. I juz ran across the bridge. I'm more scared of it than it is scared of humans. De said is about 30 cm long! Wah! Is not commonly seen in spore so i dunno what kind of creature is that, but it shd be a reptile. Is living alive under the brigde towards kallang hbd flats.
