Although Singapore is a small island, and I have lived here all my life, I have been to only a few areas on the island. There is still plenty of the island to explore, if I were so inclined. Unfortunately, I am not an explorer. I am more of a home body.
However, I do go out once in a while. Sometimes, friends would suggest a place I haven’t been before. I would be secretly pleased that I am ‘force to explore’ a new place. Unfortunately, my friends are not the active, or sporting type. The prefer the more sedate and laid back lifestyle, like checking out a new bar or restaurant, whereas I would much prefer to check out a walking trail, a garden, or a park.
Anyhow, on a friend’s suggestion to try out a new restaurant in Paya Lebar, an area I have never been to, I went down a bit earlier to have a look at the surrounding area. I looked up the place on google map first. The area was developed not too long ago. From what I can see, it is another area of shopping complexes, and offices. After getting a rough idea of the surrounding area, I set out to ‘explore’ the place.
It was just as I expected. Building complexes of shopping malls with shops, and more shops, F&B outlets, and offices. The train arrives in the midst of these buildings. So, the place is convenient to get to.
I took some photos of the place for #Wednesdaywalk.
The forefront is the train station.
This is an apartment block.
