Hi to all!!
I feel happy and honour to be in this trail.I live in Toa payoh when i was in Primary one till now.It has so many fond memories for me.There were many places that i went to play after school when i was a small child at that time.Like the playground near my block.(pics at the botoom)It is a very convient spot of me because there is a market,shop and save,where can buy necessities things.(pics at the bottom)
Toa payoh was once an broad district.The things they done was rearing,farming.The others were hawker,factory workers.Toa Payoh is a Hokkien language,which Toa is "big" and Payoh means "swamp".so it was called 'Big Swamp'. It indicates that the large swampy area preceded the later development market gardens in this area.It has been come an increasingly busy and pouplar because of its atmosphere,as it has many shopping malls,sometimes actitvites was conducted over there,like line dance for ederly,etc.Meanwhile,the swiming complex where national swimers trained at the complex.Another thing is that it was the FIRST air conditioned bus interchange and visitors will be spoilt for choice at the range of merchandise, food and entertainment options available.

hopscotch
and i think you cannot find any more this kind of games anymore as it is'outdated' to those new generation youngsters as they did not see these find of games.

shop and save
It is very easy to get the things that you needed badly.you do not need to go to central and buy,just a few minutes walk from home and you will be able to buy the things that are needed.
