The past week has been an experience of sorts.
The week started with a walk at Jacob Ballas Children's Garden. Opened last year on 1 October - Children's Day. Here's the tricky bit - Adults cannot enter unaccompanied by a child. How clever, haha! However, adults can enter with the company of a garden officer. I understood from the garden officer that this was necessary for the safety of the children. Despite being chaperoned, it was a delightful walk :)
I have taken several pictures and would love to show it all here, but just wish to keep this a short one. So here is one of Pisang Seribu tree. Pisang means banana, and Seribu means a thousand in both Bahasa Melayu and Bahasa Indonesia. So this is A-Thousand-Bananas Tree.
Pisang Seribu at Jacob Ballas
The Jacob Ballas Garden is truly a children's haven. This reminds me - in Danish, haven actually means garden. How apt. Children are free to romp about and just have fun. If I ever see the days of having some of my own, this is one of the places to be growing up in.
The Jacob Ballas Garden is at the corner of Botanical Gardens close to the NUS Law Faculty. That's one of the most idyllic campus, in my opinion. Charming settings amidst flora and feathered fauna.
Mom and I took a break at the NUS Law Faculty where they were having an outdoor book sale. All the sensible fibres of my body cannot resist book sales. I came across (and eventually-but-not-surprisingly bought) an advanced text on Muscle Energy Techniques (MET). I believe it is a chiropractic/physiotherapy text and it came with a DVD. It was mighty interesting because it showed how the doctors ascertain certain physiological conditions of the body and the muscle energy techniques used to treat it.
Leaving the law campus, I found myself looking up the sky into this view. Clouds have such amazing forms.
