Although i dont live in toa payoh, i spent most of my time there. First reason is i work in toa payoh and second reason is i study in toa payoh(: Toa payoh is quite an interesting place. There used to be a fountain pool outside the toa payoh library where young people like to sit around with their friends chatting away or simply sit alone and feel the breeze on windy days. After the renovation, it became a small stage where people will held event during chinese new year, hari raya and christmas. Whenever there are no event, we can still see children playing and teengers chatting with friends. A hotspot in toa payoh will be the entertainment centre. There are fast food restaurants, hair salon, arcade, sakae sushi, swensen, cinema etc. many young people like to hang out there during their free time. We can also see students there as they will meet up with their friends for lunch or dinner. Another hotspot in toa payoh would be the bus interchange. It is the first air conditioned interchange. There are many shops in the bus interchange so that people can have more choices regardless of clothes, food or stationary. So i can say that Toa payoh is a happening place. Hang out more often and you'll find that toa payoh is indeed, an interesting place to be (:
