toa payoh.

hello people!

honestly, i don't know much about toa payoh. i don't really come here that much unless i come to school of course. but after finding out more information of the place where my school is, i found it a more interesting place. judging by the previous posts by my schoolmates, i guess everyone already knows that toa payoh in hokkien is 'big swamp'. there is also a cemetry that was previously in the area and the area is well known for that cemetry. creepy.. but that is toa payoh in the olden days. how is toa payoh like now? well, toa payoh is a very convenient place for everyone. there are many housing estates, residential blocks and skyscrapers. many residents move here due to the conveniency of this area. at toa payoh central, there is a bus interchange where there are many different bus services. there is also an mrt station at toa payoh. entertainment can also be found in toa payoh. there is a building 'Entertainment Centre', where there is a cinema and an arcade. there are many food varieties too, for those who are food-lovers like myself. there are many different hawkers selling their food speciality from their ethnic groups. yum yum. for those who love to work out and keep themselves fit and in shape, there is also a stadium, sports hall and swimming complex. there is also a town park nearby and you can take a walk or just feed the fishes. for bookworms, there is also a library. sometimes, there will also be 'pasar malam (night market)'. for other entertainment or recreational activities, SAFRA also provides such activities. there are also many fast-food outlets in toa payoh too, for those who prefers fast and convenient food. there are also supermarkets like NTUC Fairprice and Shop & Save in the toa payoh area.

frankly speaking, i think that the residents in toa payoh are very lucky to live here as it is so convenient for them.
