Nice effort, looks like a clear and calm morning there. Maybe you could equip yourself with a megazoom camera to capture the golden moment.

This one not bad and quite small:

Walk and jog at Bidadari Cementry is great with open ground and greenery. Most importantly, not crowded with people but maybe other things.

...Guess what? You didn't need to step out of the house/condo nor squeeze with anyone nor subject yourself to SG typically unpredictable weather...

Hey, nowadays condos are full of entertainment options and themes to make it YOUR WORLD so you don't even have to step out right...

Welcome to The Minton, One Home, Three Worlds...hehe

But, seriously, I fully emphatise wif bro Radha08. Everywhere you go nowadays is crowded. Just trying to find a carpark space is like .

In future, when all the MMs TOP, there will be more people crowding around malls and attractions. The house is simply too small to chill out. It's for sleeping only..

For quiet places on Sunday in the city.

Try Pearl Hill City park, ang siang hill and amoy street, have coffee at Han's Great eastern building. Shop for strange and interesting stuffs at the flee market of Marsh & Mclennan center. The financial district is a ghost town on Sundays. Very peaceful.

Wa, never know that S'pore has such a nice view also.

Below is an article which I extract it from yesterday "TODAY" newspaper.

"This foreigner sees another side of Singapore"

As a foreigner who has lived and worked here, I wanted to experience Singapore from an angle that did not include a theme park, shopping, entertainment or commercial experience.

Visiting one of the tourist visitor centres for ideas was an experience in itself.

I asked about the outdoors and walks I could find. I was met by a confused look and was told: "It's too hot for that. Why not see Universal Studios or the Singapore Flyer?"

So I asked about parks where I could get away from it all.

I was told about East Coast Park and the Botanic Gardens. I also checked the maps and was pleasantly surprised to find some wonderful areas of peace, green space and natural life.

First, I took the Mass Rapid Transit to Kent Ridge and walked along a winding road through a forest till I reached Kent Ridge Park.

It was delightful. During my walk, I saw some amazing birds, reptiles and butterflies. The view of the sea was lovely, too.

My path ended at a boardwalk with information about some significant historical events.

Next, I went to Labrador Nature Reserve and its nearby mangrove and coastal walk, all accessible from Labrador Park MRT Station. Once again, I was surrounded by peace and quiet, flora and fauna.

I ended the week with an 11.5km trek starting at MacRitchie Reservoir, accessible again via the MRT and bus. It was incredible that I was one of the few souls in these parks, which were free and easy to access.

At the same time, the shopping centres and streets were packed, with everyone shopping, looking for a table and queuing, while I took a bottle of water and packed lunch from home. I had no need to be entertained, nor was I compelled to buy.

I saw Singapore from a different perspective. It was a wonderful experience, yet I was saddened that I hardly saw anyone, especially children, in the outdoors.

Well, how many times can you 'nature' it out? That's his first time doing that, of course he is delighted. I doubt he will do it like every weekend or every month even after a while...

A lot of us grew up among 'nature' and friends as well... joyous days at the chalet, beach, kelong outings, bbq by the seaside, beach volleyball, macritchie treks, bt timah hill etc... so we already been there done there and had our fair share. Maybe repeat another round when we have kids... that's all.

The foreigner cannot make it sound as if Singaporeans all dunno how to appreciate the outdoors.... maybe he went there on a week day where most are hard at work or in school...

...family and children are at other nature parks (this one more for lovers)

[kane]

The guys get all expenses 3 day 2 night ah or 5 day 4 night ah, all out in the nature. Sleep in sheds if you're lucky. If not, one groundsheet and the canopy of trees to be your blanket?

[azeoprop]

Lim Chu Kang Hill anyone?

[ysyap]

Or hook up a hammock and rock yourself to sleep in the cold dark night!

[Komo]

bottle tree park will be gone? so sad

Good suggestion, Ang Siang hill also good for photo bugs ... Hans kopi is good there

Bedok Reservoir, doing some stretching on top of the small hill in front of Archipelago site on a sunny/breezy day with blue sky is something really magical ... not many people there other than occasional joggers / cyclists

Thanks for the info and it bring back nice memories for me.....


My grandparent rented one of these one room unit from HDB back during 1970-1985... I've spend my weekends there for a few years as I enjoyed going crab fishing with my granda n uncle on Fri n sat night. After fishing, we will go to the hawker centre at changi village to have a nice teow chew fish ball noodles....

I recalled I travelled alone from jurong to changi grandparent house when I was just a pri 5 student!!!! A gruesome two hours journey for me though.....

I missed my grandparent.... Hmmm.. Should go to Mandai tomorrow to offer prayer to them....

So if one claimed to be single tenant to rent at 1.8l but later on then ask partner move in, what will happen? Landlord can up rent? Or can tenant argue partner just visiting?

This place is state property rented from SLA thru bidding. Average bid ranges from $1000 to $1500 at most.

Subletting is illegal if I'm not wrong.

This agent better hope nobody complain to CEA.
