Toa Payoh Trail

Toa Payoh is home of the heart landers. Majority of the estates such as the HDB flats have a playground for kids, a huge empty space for people to hold their functions, kids to play, or even for old people to do their morning work out. The residents staying there make it a point to keep the lifts as well as the environment clean. I often see bulletines pinned up on the notice board, such as family outings, games for kids, or events for the residents of Toa Payoh. I feel that the people in Toa Payoh are so bonded as there are often events held for them to interact with one another. Be it different backgrounds or religion, everyone treats each other equally, and that is the way things should be. The estates in Toa Payoh have good facilities provided for the residents.

Favourite haunts in Toa Payoh:

One of my favourite places in Toa Payoh would be the park. I love chilling at the park with my friends because it is quiet and at the same time, it has great scenery and ambience. Also, as my passion is photography, I love going to the park to take photos. Shown below, are pictures taken at the park (:









































Memories of my childhood:

As a toddler, I used to stay at my grandma's place together with my siblings. I was enrolled in a childcare near Toa Payoh Lorong 6, thereafter I was in PAP during my kindergarten years, which was located at Kim Keat. Very often, my siblings and I would go to the playground below my grandma's house to play. The playground there left countless great memories I would always cherish. Though the estate there is now under construction, each time I walk past the place it would bring back bitter-sweet memories of my childhood years spent there. Shown below, is a picture of me at the playground when I was just a toddler.





















What I like about Toa Payoh?

The one thing i like about Toa Payoh the most, is the fact that it is efficient as it is filled with our neccessities, gaming arcade, food joints, movie theater and awesome places to slack. Of all these facilities provided, I love the variety of food the most. Toa Payoh has several eateries and majority of them serve tasty food. Not only that, most of these food joints such as the Laksa stall, Roasted Chicken Rice stall, etc. are featured in the newspaper or media. Very often, there are interesting events that provide entertainment for the onlookers to watch or participate at the Toa Payoh Hub.

Improvements or Suggestions:

I hope to see more fashion outlets and dessert stalls in Toa Payoh.


I am delighted that Toa Payoh is turning into a more vibrant and modern environment, that would improve the life of many! (:
