Geocache Description:

This is now a traditional cache.
While the coords are enough, the clues (below) are hidden in puzzle form.

The cache is a magnetic nano hidden along a tributary to the largest storm canal in Singapore. Along duchess road, a very quiet and conducive place to go for an evening jog. This is an affluent neighbourhood hosting many of the top schools in the country.

Me: Read the title and guess.
