AMK-Bishan Park



So today me and my sis decided to see what up at Ang Mo Kio - Bishan park and some water thing was built recently (also the "part II" of the bishan park renovations had not been completed for some time). In fact. Many times when a friend gave me a ride home, one of the questions was whether the park renovations had completed....  So it was something of some amount of interest to me ... and I guess a few other people =P

Below you see.... *drum roll* the sign board




Well to be honest it was'nt all that exciting. (Well now, is a park supposed to be exciting... ah well... we got spoilt by the part I of the park renovations I think). They essentially shifted the soccer fields from the first half to the second half. The second half looked somewhat levelled, which was a pity since part of its charm in the past was that it sported a quiet path which you could walk through to a pavilllion. Now it is just leveled ground until you reach the water playground (pictured below) and something of a pavillion. Its not as pretty as the old one I feel. But I am a sucker for old stuff so I am biased =P




The skies were pretty. Speaking of which thee was a cold breeze today. So it was strange. I hope its not due to the recent breakaway glaciers.



And here we have the water playground. Which does'nt really look like much here (we did'nt think it looks like much either but on closer look, it was'nt too bad). The water playground actually sports a few mini water slides and a bath thingy. The only gross thing was that one kid was on a higher level playing in a small pool thing. But the water cascades down and.... you know what, two kids were drinking the water. *sighz* other than that i thnk it looked like great fun for the kids. The slides and pools are too small for adults. So its really a place for parent to meet, chat and let the kids have fun. The water only runs on weekends. Week days, the water runneth dry baby doll. Have fun =)




So we did'nt get to see no piggies. You know. The one in the news where wild boars terrorized por por Singaporeans. Sighz, when will people learn to just stay away from nature and just admire WITH respect. Seriously, I liked the park better when it was closed as the birds came back to the newly feral lands. That was lost tho when the park opened (but its not so bad... so far the birds still stayed - some cool).

With that we headed back. But I'm pretty sure there is a park connector some where =) So stay tuned!
