Reflections

If we would only give, just once, the same amount of reflection to what we want to get out of life that we give to the question of what to do with a two weeks' vacation, we would be startled at our false standards and the aimless procession of our busy days. ~Dorothy Canfield Fisher

Simpang Kiri Park Connector

The Simpang Kiri Park Connector stretches for almost 2.8km all the way to Yishun Avenue 2. Along the pathway adjacent to a wide canal ultimately leading into the Johor Straits are fitness stations and benches to rest your tired feet. It demarcates the Southern border of Sembawang New Town, starting from the Southernmost tip of Canberra Link and terminating at Jalan Mempurong where the Bottle Tree Village and Masjid Penempatan Melayu Sembawang can be found.

Masjid Sultan & Newater Visitor Centre, Singapore

The Sultan Mosque, named after the first Sultan of Singapore, was built with a SGD3,000 grant from the East India Company. It is the largest mosque in Singapore and the present building was constructed in 1928. With its massive gold-topped dome and spacious prayer hall, the mosque has one particularly interesting feature--the base of the dome is made up of glass bottles.





The NEWater Visitor Centre offers visitors a totally different experience to explore and witness first-hand how water for Singaporeans is being processed using advanced membrane and ultraviolet technologies.
