Simple Pleasures
Singapore wasn't dubbed
The Garden City for nothing. The whole city-state abound with trees, plants & flowers. For its size, it surprisingly has a lot of
parks. How many do we still have in Manila? Do we even have any other than Luneta? It's a pity we have the land but we don't have the love for nature and the beauty it provides...externally and internally. Anyway, what I really want to share is what we were treated to, accidentally, last Sunday afternoon. We decided to check out Singapore's
Botanic Gardens and we couldn't have picked a luckier timing.
The Singapore Symphony Orchestra was having a free concert at the park's Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage, and there were throngs of people watching, both locals & expats. The mood was juvial, especially with kids & teens playing and running on the open, grassy fields. Their spirits & energies undoubtedly bouyed by the orchestra's rendition of various modern music. Families came prepared with picnic baskets, including the elderly, even those on wheelchairs.
