Hey everyone!

How is your Saturday coming along?? Well, I was on my way to meet ken darling at Orchard Central when I was pleasantly surprised at this view I came upon. Its just your normal walkway by the streets, and if you don’ know it yet, singapore’s streets are ALL lined with trees. Some of them are planted with trees that’ll bloom all at the same time for a magnificent view. Some streets are lined with fruit trees that will bear fruits once in a while, like jackfruits, mangosteens and starfruits. Other streets are just planted with lush green trees just for their shade and pleasant, soft effect on the hard streets. Well the street that I was staying in was planted with pretty trees that bloomed beautiful pink flowers not too long ago. But unfortunately, because of the recent heavy downpour, all the flowers were wilted and lay dead along the walkways. There was this tree at the junction that was planted just to fill up the empty void there. I dunno what’s up with him, but he’s all golden and yellow! And he’s started to shed his leaves all over the walkway! Its such a magnificent sight! The entire length of the walkway is strewn with golden leaves. It was just so pretty that I had to stop and take a picture, before the authorities clean the streets up. So here’re the pictures! They are really pretty and such a rare sight in the pristine Singapore streets.

I dunno, maybe the ministers are just suckers for order and cleanliness, because everytime trees shed their leaves, the leaves strewn all over the place will be swept clean by the sweepers. Okay maybe it’s a road hazard, as leaves when wet can be really slippery (experienced that the hard way) and hence they may pose a threat to motorists. But why clean up the leaves in the parks? They’re just so pretty and the rustic walkways add character to the park. Sometimes, they make it look cosy and rustic, other times so romantic, but the rest of the time, it makes the man made parks look so close to nature. All those huge trees all brown and moist and humid. I just love their scent in the early morning.

Well for my street, I do hope they do not clean it up soon, because I wanna show ken baby the beauty when we get home tonight!

p.s. just so you know, I’m typing this in the bus, commuting from my appointment at Thompson to Orchard! Hehehe! Damn, typing this out and sitting in the bus is soo making me giddy! Better stop now. Seeya!!
