bukit panjang park 5

this is the view from my balcony, an unobstructed view of the pang sua pond. this is a storm water pond. the rain water collected is used for watering roadside plants all over singapore. there are tortoises and fish in this pond. although there are signs that say fishing is prohibited, a lot of fishing is done around the pond. as long as nets are not used, the anglers are usually left undisturbed by the policemen from the npc.

the pond underwent dredging from august 2004 to the beginning of this year. it is much deeper now and we don't get to see patches of earth like we used to do, during the dry period, before the pond was deepened.

my neighbour just told me he had sold his unit for $390k and would be moving to bukit batok. i am not thinking of selling my place because you cannot get this kind of view in any other hdb estate.
