Hannah @ LX7 – Part 3

The night have been wonderfully cool over the last several days now, what with the frequent rains in the early mornings and afternoons. The three of us have taken the opportunity to ramp up on nightly outings around our home too. Usually the arrangement is for Mommy and Hannah to take slow walks around the blocks and I’d go for a jog. Ling brought home a pile of marking this weekend though, so it was another opportunity for daddy-daughter bonding again with the LX7 in-tow.

The both of us walked for just under an hour. Quite a surprise – because the memories of our 12 km trek through Sugi island carrying her on my back when she got tired still remain fresh in my mind. This time round though she was spritely game to walk the whole distance cheerfully, taking in the sights and chattering non-stop for most of it. The evening lights and lights in the many apartment blocks made for some colorful pictures too, though because the pictures are resized here, one can’t really see the awful noise that crept in real quick into the LX7’s images.

Compassvale Bow was pretty quiet, even for a side-road – which made it possible to leisurely take posed shots like this one here.

Blocks 264. Got to say that the new HDB apartment blocks are looking nicer than ever. Nothing quite like the old drab HDB blocks from 20 years ago.

The Quartz. Our Ang Mo bud once kidded during his 2008 visit that he’d happily buy a unit in this apartment if he had the dough for it.

The very wide-angle lens on the LX7 put to good use in this picture along Sengkang East Avenue.

For the return home stretch we cut through the blocks along Compassvale Link. Our girl couldn’t resist stopping by the pavilion to, well, hug the pillar.:)

Given the recent road incidents here involving children, we’ve taken every opportunity to start in-graining in our girl in responsible pedestrian habits. You know the routine – “Before you cross and even when you see the green man, make sure you look right first, then left, then look right again.”

Hannah loved the walkabout and asked to do this again. Surprisingly, not tomorrow (Monday) evening though – “I need to rest!”. :)

  1. That looks a lot like the route I’d take a couple times a day depending on which MRT I’d hit.

    I think I need to initiate a KickStarter pledge program to finance a condo unit purchase somewhere in Singapore! :)
