Problem
The first problem is that several community centres in many areas have similar names. But drivers, taxi drivers, pedestrians, MRT passengers - everybody gets confused.
When you arrive, however, many Community Clubs have features designed to reduce stress. My favourites are:
1 Water features - fountains and fish.
2 Green walls of greenery.
3 Cafes and snack bars.
4 Changing coloured lights.

Nee Soon East has changing coloured lights. You can watch the entire front of the building change colour, facing it from the temporary bus terminal, and the road approach from the MRT.

From white
to red
Nee Soon East Community Club also has a stress-inducing feature. If you approach from the left at the back, to reach the corridor to the front desk office and notce boards and elevators you have to walk across the goal end of the open-sided games area, stopping, whilst the players dodge around you chasign balls and throwing them across your path.
