its been a long long time.
It would appear that I'd have more time to blog now that exams are over, but that doesn't seem to be the case, does it? I'm having so much fun and enjoying life so much that I don't feel the urge to air my opinions and announce my activities to the world. haha
okie, here are the tag replies:

But my phone seems to be having less pictures than it should right now, so I guess I'll just have to describe it.It was a picture of the field in front of Aljunied MRT station and beside the condo. I remember the evenings when I'd walk past it on my way home and see at least 2 groups of people playing football. There'd be the 'malay teenagers' and the 'uncles and kids'. I distinctly remember an uncle with a pot belly who always played topless and who was never really good at kicking the ball. Not long ago, a new group of 'china teenagers' appeared, and they were even worse with the ball. But it was entertaining watching them and they sure looked like they were having loads of fun.
But recently, there're two new signs put up on the field.
One says " State Land. No playing soccer." (or something like that)
The other said that the land was up for sale and had a huge 'URA' printed on it.
So now, I don't see people playing football anymore. All I see when I walk past it is a green patch. That too, is a nice and pleasant sight. When I gaze further into the distance, I see my primary school and the playground in it.
But when I think about the future, once this land is sold and developed, in it's place will be concrete buildings. There won't ever be another patch of empty green space as large as that in Geylang East any longer. I won't be able to see my primary school from my library. The path from the MRT station to the library will be torture for claustrophobics, because it'll be surrounded by huge concrete buildings...
