Toa Payoh is one of the most popular places in Singapore. Although I don't frequent Toa Payoh, once i come back from other places to toa payoh, there is a sense of warmness here. When i was young, my parents often took my family to the Toa Payoh Garden to enjoy the scenery and the environment of the garden. Whenever we pass by the garden, my parents often remind me of the memories we have there.
Another place that is convenient is the Toa Payoh Stadium. Since i was in primary school, my school used to go there for sports carnival. I used to run for my team in the stadiumm too. Now that I am in secondary school, i realised that alot of schools use Toa Payoh Stadium for their sports carnival too. I guess its because its convenient and easy to book. Most elderlys also go there to sit down and relax, most probably its because of the quiet scenery.
Many people come from other places to toa payoh to dine too. Even MediaCorp sends their artiste to try the food stalls in toa payoh. This will also promote the popularity of the food stalls.
Toa Payoh is also the central area, which makes many people feel convenient in going to other areas, which is not very far away from toa payoh since its the central area.
There's also a library in toa payoh which causes convenience to the students when they wants to find a place to do their homework or to study. After studying, they can also go to the cinemas to watch movies for leisure and entertainment. It is also one way to destress themselves.
Overall, I think that toa payoh is a very nice and peaceful place which attracts people to come here. Compared to other places, Toa Payoh is also one of the most frequent places that people come to.

Toa Payoh a second place which i spend most of my time at even though i don't live in Toa Payoh.
Toa Payoh in the Hokkien dialect means "big swamp land".
The word 'Payoh' originates from the Malay word 'paya' for swamp.
This extensive district was quite notorious for the numerous
squatters who were mainly engaged in farming and rearing pigs.
Toa Payoh is 1 of the places which have a lot of facilities. Example would be the library located at central. The library provides a very 'nice to study' atmoshpere.
Toa Payoh used to have a very old interchange,but after upgrading the interchange, it became the first air-conditioned bus interchange in Singapore.
Lastly, a place where i usually hang out with friends is the 'entertainment centre', most of the time we spend time at arcade and movies.But now O levels are coming,so me and my friends spend time studying at MacDonald at 'entertainment'. The End!
