Heard it over somewhere that the government wants the land back, and so thus expects the tenants of the Kallang oasis area o vacate by December.. Kinda sad when i have fond memories of my childhood of the Taiwanese porridge located there. Not like i go there often when young, but the experiences there are special cos of how the architecture was built. Check out the first pic, place was built on the 80s, but it still looks contemporary now aren't it? still remember running along the link way between the structures, knowing the sea is just below me... feels fun when one is young/little at that time...Seems like authentic childhood landmarks are getting less and less when we are pushing ourselves further into development. Every available land space have to be maximise for profits. Maybe the gabermen have a pricing for each piece of land. Like Land A must yield a profit of how much per square meter. If Land A is not yielding much profits, the establishments there have to make way for better, larger, brighter, more touristy landmarks so as to get more profits. Well in such a pragmatic society like ours, we readily trade souls for money aren't we?
The old has to go to make way for the young and exciting.... that;s what i feel about the current land uses in singapore. But, why does it not applicable to the people who comes out with all these plans? Hmmmm... the old still stays, until when huh???
Updates: Just saw on the news that kallang Oasis is making way for new water sports center.. how exciting.... how many ppl actually make use of the water sports center?? Yes i know, the rich...... The rest of us poor blokes, stand one side and watch, or you can try your luck at the makeshift pre-IR gambling tables at G...Damn happenin lah... Maybe you can end up becoming one of those rich fuckers playing water sports ok..
