This afternoon after I'd finished eating my Thai red curry that my dear wife had left in the fridge I was feeling like a bit of a walk.
Lets look out the window to see what it's like outside today.

And how about the other window?
Now I don't have the latest in digital SLRs (I think my old Canon IXUS 400 is probably at least 5 years old).
I also certainly don't have the photographic skills of any of the entrants to the TD photo competition and don't have any photoshop skills either.
But I can point, shoot, resize, upload and post. So if you bare with me, I'll take you for a walk around my neck of the woods (Eastern Singapore).

As you can see, there's not much activity about the pool at this time of day. It's still a bit hot and the swimmers will all be out once the shadows move accross the area later in the day.
As I walk through the club house, I can see one family in the ball room.
Nobody's playing squash though.
Outside again, the tenants are also waiting for it to cool down a bit before having a game of tennis.
This shot is walking through the car park towards the front gate.
This is looking down the street.
Are there people in this strange clean land?
Nice pics.
But today I'm going up the hill through closed section of the road. I'm not really sure why they've closed this section, it would be quite a drive to get from one end to the other, only 50 metres away. Bikes can still get through, but there's a narrow gate behind me in this photo to prevent cars from making it.
Just past the other end of the closure is this Chinese Buddhist temple.
Most weekends there are parties of one sort or another going on here.
We cant really see much from the road, so lets go inside and have a look.
I don't know why this one's face is covered up. The red covering doesn't go all around, its just over the face.
The temple has 2 large doors with these 2 bouncers to ensure no riff raff gets in..
Inside we go.
I have some more photos that I'll put up after.
Stay tuned for "Further Up The Hill".
What do they finish/seal the outside of buildings with there?
One of the things that pisses me off here is exteriors of buildings that are completely fcuked up within a couple of years.
(Need to get my house repainted )
That looks very nice where is it ?
nice neighborhood I would go for a walk there
damn I didnt realise you were in Sing. I could have had a beer with you last weekend after the Australian Rules footy...
Another soulless hive in the human anthill that is an Asian city.
Nice pics though, my sympathies are with you and your family for having to live there.
Mmmm, I don't know, looks like paint to me. What do they use where you are?Originally Posted by Gerbil

I'll probably still be here next time you're around.Originally Posted by kingwilly
I am very happy to live here. I really don't know why a few people have negative perceptions of life in Singapore. Singapore constantly comes out on top in most surveys of places to live in Asia. The quality of goods and services available, transport and infrastructure, low crime rates, safety, efficiency and cleanliness are all winners in my book.Originally Posted by EmperorTud
Anyway, after leaving the temple, we continue up the hill. Some of my neighbours live in landed properties.
While others live in condos.
At the top of the hill there's probably some residents that aren't so happy to be my neighbours.
