botanic gardens

haven't been to botanic gardens for like years, and unlikely will be making any trips there had it not been for the work assignment at the symphony stage. was sort of surprised by the freshness and quietness of the environment when i stepped into it. (probably due to the fact that the rain had just stopped when i reached. ) it was a sense of serenity in the middle of a havoc, busy central of singapore.

however, this was serenity vanished at the visitor centre, it was just like at other places of attractions in singapore, though the shops are made to blend into the surroundings, the commercialized aura is there for all to sense it. luckily, this only made up of a small portion of the whole park!

as the day went by, the arrival of people for the carnival, made the park lose its stillness and quietness... then again, if it were to be a carnival, how quiet can it be?

but as the night begin to fall, the sense of serenity begin to return, as the partying crowd dispersed into the darkness. another sense of peacefulness came into the park, as darkness took over. wonderful to be there, just to enjoy the peace and quiet. the only problem is even with the light up of the street lamps, most places will be too dark after 7.30pm, but will be a nice place for those wanting a “浪漫” environment...

as for whether there would be mosquitoes attack, i can't tell, was too busy packing up after the event to sense the attacks if any...
