Yesterday when I walked out from home I walked pass the typical sight. But there was something extra, something I did not welcome. There was a plot of government- owned land beside the MRT station and a few months back there was a sign saying that this land was on sale. Usually I dodge under the old parking barrier and walk up to the station. But the day before the way had been blocked by white metal barriers. Admittedly last week I had seen wooden bars on the wire fences. This week they had added the barriers.
My guess is that some private developer has bought the land. The land is most likely to be converted into a condominium, swimming pool and all. The plot of land opposite it has undergone a similiar fate. Once a little grassland where boys played soccer, it is now a upmarket condominium. My friend lives there and I went there for her housewarming party. Yes, it was nice, definitely, to be in a confortable condominium with all the great things that come with it. But frankly, I would rather have the grassland.
Isn't Singapore supposed to be a green city? Then why are all these open, green spaces being converted into brick buildings? The urban jungle of Singapore is spreading, colonizing green fields. I guess it has to do with the size of Singapore. As there are more people there has to be more buildings. But at least retain a few places where people can relax and unwind.
The condominium- to- be is beautiful; i like it the way it is. There is a fence seperating it into two halves. Nature has taken root there, covering the ground and the fence with green. There is also a magnificent strangler fig tree- at the top of the post. It is old, branches spreading outwards. I think it is a Banyan tree. I only hope they don't cut the tree down. Perhaps i shall be fortunate to capture it on my camera before it falls.

Always with Me
Somewhere, a voice calls, in the depths of my heart
May I always be dreaming, the dreams that move my heart
So many tears of sadness, uncountable through and through
I know on the other side of them I'll find you
Everytime we fall down to the ground we look up to the blue sky above
We wake to it's blueness, as for the first time
Though the road is long and lonely and the end far away, out of sight
I can with these two arms embrace the light
As I bid farewell my heart stops, in tenderness I feel
My silent empty body begins to listen to what is real
The wonder of living, the wonder of dying
The wind, town, and flowers, we all dance one unity
Somewhere a voice calls in the depths of my heart
keep dreaming your dreams, don't ever let them part
Why speak of all your sadness or of life's painfull woes
Instead let the same lips sing a gentle song for you
The whispering voice, we never want to forget,
in each passing memory always there to guide you
When a miror has been broken, shattered pieces scattered on the ground
Glimpses of new life, reflected all around
Window of beginning, stillness, new light of the dawn
Let my silent, empty body be filled and reborn
No need to search outside, nor sail across the sea
Cause here shining inside me, it's right here inside me
I've found a brightness, it's always with me
