Photowalk/cycle (Orchard, Selegie, Kampong Java)

I started of in front of Istana Garden (Singapore presidential palace garden). The gardener has prepared a new flower bed with nice orange, yellow and white flowers for APEC meeting about a week ago, and I have always wanted to come and take picture. Thus I applied for leave and went for a photo walk/cycle. It was really early (8 AM).

I then travels north and this is taken in front of centerpoint. They have a nice christmast decoration.

And this is in front of the shop houses near Emerald Hill Road.

From Pinky

I decided to enter Emerald Hill since I have never taken any pictures there. It has nice restored old shop houses within Orchard road, and it is not enclosed in glass like Parco (Bugis Junction) or Far East Square (Chinatown). They are still very much original at least from outside.

From Pinky

It is kind of interesting 2 storey shop houses facing 12 storey mall (Orchard Central).

Is the house tilted? No! I just decided to level the photo based on the Pinkies shoes. I guess it is bad decision cos it make the house tilted due. The road is going a bit uphill actually.

I then decided to go down orchard road and took photo at Cathay since I also never taken photo there. And I was hungry, there is no shop selling food (other than junk food) at Orchard Road, so I went to Selegie.

From Pinky

After my late breakfast, I went across the road to Selegie Art Centre, and took a picture there.

After that I went to Kampong Java Road. Guess where is this? No it is not near a cruise ship. It is actually a hospital called KK Women and Children hospital. KK stands for Kandang Kerbau (Cow Pen). It is not to equate women to cows. The name is actually historical because around there during colonial time, there is a cow pen. That is why the name got stuck, even though there is no more cow in Singapore.

And this is taken in a park with a small pond near the hospital.

The sky suddenly turned greyish and I guessed it was going to rain so I stopped and quickly went back.
