12:38 Bishan Park #1: Today, I thought of visiting this gigantic park.
So of course, like the last time, it rained again. But it stopped
just long enough for me to have a quick look at it.

12:40 Bishan Park #2: One half of the Park has a series of lovely
ponds linked by charming red bridges. These were some folks fishing
at the ponds. They looked a bit furtive though I couldn't see any
of the usual "no fishing" signs. |

12:44 Bishan Park #3: They caught a few fishes already. Not very large,
doubt if they can be eaten. So perhaps for the home aquarium? |

12:45 Bishan Park #4: Under the flowering yellow flame tree, a little
cafe that looks like it might be a nice place to have an evening meal.
Overlooking the ponds. |

12:58 Bishan Park #5: I drive over to the other half of the Park across
the main road. It's a huger portion with football fields and other
amenities. But first, I head for the horticultural areas. I couldn't
find the succulent garden that was marked on the map, but came across
this lovely lily pond. |

12:59 Bishan Park #6: You know me, I'm a sucker for water, so I just
had to stay and admire all the different lilies. |

13:01 Bishan Park #7: the Park has a different kind of playground
for kids with this bright blue trampoline! |
 |
25/08/04 13:02 Bishan Park #8: As it's a large park, so of course,
the usual reflexology paths are much more extensive. But still looks
painful to me. |

13:03 Bishan Park #9: There is a portion for skating, but looking
empty and forlorn now during the weekday in the rain. I'm sure it's
a lot livelier in the evenings or weekends. |

13:03 Bishan Park #10: There is also a shop that rents bicycles. Business
is very slow today. |

16:50 Bishan Park #11: There's a posh looking cafe with al fresco
dinning right near the carpark. Looks like a nice place for dinner.

16:51 Bishan Park #12: There's even a vet! Wow! I'm amazed. |

16:52 Bishan Park #13 (last): The Park looks like a very civilised
place to go with the family for a day out in the not-so-wild nature
and enjoy some fresh air and fun. |
