the place with tall concrete trees


i have just returned from the land where trees are made from concrete pillar structures and surrounded by living plants. what a way to describe this land. it is the land of the south where i stay currently. there is much to see, experience and think. 

for one, i love how system and forward thinking can brings this land to great heights. it is with these two qualities that i believe this place has prospered so much compared to my dear bolehland. from the mass rapid transit to residential housing, everything is so well planned that i feel out of place. to be frank, yours truly is not a systematic person when it comes to his daily life. i prefer the random. that's why there is a term for it. there is the cons of being random though. yet, you have no choice when it comes to preference. it is similar to why you like the colour red over yellow. as simple as that. 

for two, i fancy how i included two swimming sessions in two different places during my visit to this place. one: at the community pool. two: at the recently completed building sports arena. it is built to cater for 2015 asian games. i guess i have beaten the foreign atheletes to it by trying the new pool. my comments: clean, cold and refreshing. like it much.

for three, i did the non-touristy stuffs. i participated in the art crafting session at esplanade. i think it was meant for children but the inner child in me decided to participate along. i like to draw and create things. the idea is quite well incorporated too. in short, you have to cut the sponge to a certain shapes drawn, paste the cut sponge on wooden cube provided, colour the sponge with water colours and chop them on the piece of oil paper. result: a christmas tree with dragonflies overflying the tree with four little bears at the botttom plus lights overlooking the overall picture.i told my friend that is really the highlight of the day and they laughed. i like how the simple this little thing satisfies my inner interest which is drawing. i also did cycle. i cycled from bedok to changi airport (east coast park). really really like this when you can watched the plane flying above your head. the experience is just breathtaking. i literally stop breathing for a moment there. additionally, i just lied down at garden of the bay and beaches. my friend labelled me as a hobo. if that what makes a hobo. then i am hobo Seng then. i will get whatever label that is being thrown at me as long as it describes me well.
