Lately, my estate has really gotten extremely stagnant.
The days just come and go, without anything interesting happening at all. The streets are just practically empty and activity-less. I could still remember when i was in primary school, children still come out to play, even the youths age range: 14 and above were up and about.
Now, its just gotten really stale. I’m seriously beginning to think that I’m the only 18 year old walking around the estate. Other than me, you have all the working class who returns home like a programmed bot at approx. 7.30pm to 9pm.
I don’t see anyone of my age group walking about the estate anymore. Be it, just hanging out at the estate’s park or just having a stroll.
Its so empty, to me it probably felt wrong. Seeing people of my age walking around the estate is now to me considered RARE. LOL.
Ah well, guess life is just like that. Probably another reason why the estate has suddenly gone extremely quiet could be due to the fact that the neighbouring estate, Green Meadows, which is only separated by a gate, has recently been totally razed to the ground. I guess their building a new property. Seems to me like a condo or something. I really couldn’t care less. In the past people from both estates mingled, played soccer and the sorts. Although i am really interested about the new residents who will move into the once was Green Meadows.
Coming back to the estate’s park. I have been strolling a bit these days, just being someplace quiet. So there was one day, after school was done. I walked down to the park. It was in the evening so it was cooling and surprisingly windy too. Ever since the park was revamped, it had this pretty awesome stage/amphitheater.
I was really surprised that it is under-utilized. It, to me was a very good venue for performances to be organized. But no one could be bothered. I guess they want to preserve the peace huh.
This is a picture of the stage, pretty blur though, glaring the sun was.
Well, i hope to maybe talk with the Nee Soon South CC of maybe using the stage to organize an event to liven up the estate.
Till then,
Cheers.
