OUR FIRST GROUP PHOTO was taken hereeee! Thank you young man (:
Chinese New Year was around the corner then... so the visitor's centre there was decorated with red flowers and all (: But i was more interested in the huge clock thingy (: Looked like a tower and very cool! I was lucky that the rest of the group had cameras so....turns out i had more photos since i was being taken and not taking HAHAHA.
Our journey continued... next was the temple and mosque at Upper Bukit Timah road...
DUDE...was this tough or what :P We met our "best friend". The traffic jam. A friend you can really do without on weekends out with real human friends. Really.
I commented, "Upper Bukit Timah road. Small (expensive) roads for big cars" Sigh. We missed the turning into the place once or twice so poor Amantha had to U-turn a couple of times. Thanks for the patience, dear! (:
Visiting/ walking round the temple was pretty interesting. When we went in, the "owner" wasn't around so it kinda felt like we were trespassing...but he eventually returned (: But by that time...we were ready to leave! haha.
Mosque was quiet, and we parked under the hot sun. Wanted to visit the interior and maybe say hi (: But we were worried if we were intruding upon something. Looked like there was some activity going on inside to me! Pity we didn't get to go into the mosque but we stayed outside, kinda peering in, looking at the surroundings and stuff...
And we hopped on the grass patch and took a photo at the entrance anyhow :D
But i guess, what i liked about these two places was their "real-ness". Yes, they were pretty run-down. But there was a significance in that.... It was significant that people of those religions were the ones taking care off the places. Not some security guard who could care less about the culture, religious significance of the temple and mosque. I could even call it, authentic. (:
...
Back into the car and off to our next stop! haha!
That's it for now here though!
Love, Charlotte:D
