Stories

Two buildings which I have stopped to admire and photograph in Singapore:

The Hamilton building is a skyscraper standing beside the Sheraton Towers hotel in Scotts Road running north just along from the centre of Singapore, Orchard Road. This is a private development. The block's oblong lines are stark, but relieved by colour. At night the lights change colour.

Going further out of town, the Nee Soon East Community Centre, a public building, is soothingly circular and equally colourful with changing lights.

For me, seeing colour is a blessing a big part of my life. I wear colourful clothes. What I like about Singapore and the far east is that the tropical climate makes flowers bloom all year, so the scenery is colourful. Housing and clothes are made to match their surroundings.

Tips
To reach the Sheraton Towers Hotel and see the Hamilton building you could take the MRT train from Orchard to Newton. Alternatively take a bus. Or you could walk.

To reach Nee Soon East community centre, take the MRT to Yishun MRT. The community centre is on maps but even when you are out in the roadway by the giant junction it is hard to remember which way to go. Passers by don't all know the community centre. However it is opposite the bus garage interchange.

See my later post on the Hamilton.
