the night we ran over a python!

So after catching a late night flick at Marina Square, then stingray and choot choot at Newton.... we decided to drive to.....

PUNGGOL END (Yes at 3am!!) Dead of the night. The place where ppl drive to to 'heh heh'. Just to look see lah.. hehe. We used to go there on Zack's scrambler and phantom.. quite thrilling cos its really dark and a very dense forested area. If you turn off the headlights it will be pitch black.. serious. Quite scary. At the very end of the forest track was this wide expense of grassland overlooking the sea to the twinking lights of the ports on the opposite side. So romantic! That was our destination. To get there we have to drive through the thicket of trees and bushes. Basically the forest. Then we had a rude shock. The place was swarming with ppl fishing, floodlights and there is a make-shift police post. Sheesh. It used to be really dark, unspoilt, quiet and romantic :(

Left that place and decided to drive further in to PUNGGOL MARINA COUNTRY CLUB. That was where the gals and i went to for wakeboarding. Entry was $3.21 so we thought screw it.. and left. After we drove past the entrace/exit, we noticed a thick 'rope' lying across the road and drove over it. Zack and i then looked at each other and went.."What was it?!" Zack said.. "I think it's a python...." A PYTHON!! It was light in color and really thick and long.. lying across the road. When we drove over it there was quite a bump! OMG!!! Yeeeeks! After much talk about it zack couldnt stand it and wanted to go back for a second look. We drove all the way back in but it was gone! It probably wasnt dead and managed to slither its mangled flattened form away. Snakes have soft bones you see.. but i don't know. I hope its dead. Hahaha.
