at the middle of the padang....

This was taken earlier today, in the evening as I was walking in the middle of the padang. the view of the tall buildings of mostly banks.

Padang (in the Malay language) means field. The Padang is also a well known open space in the CBD. You can read more about it at wikipedia.



Just trying out taking the picture is wide screen mode on my camera. It's suppose to be in full HD mode. Hmm.

Have a good weekend! How are you spending your weekend?

CPF

Where I stood in the photo yesterday, on my right, I could see the CPF Building. It's quite unique eh? I always think it looks like lego blocks, as it looks like 3 sections stacked on top of each other.





CPF stands for the Central Provident Fund. It's kind of like a force savings plan for retirement for all working citizens and permanent residents of Singapore. If you want to find out more, you can visit their website at www.cpf.gov.sg

Do you have a similar compulsory retirement savings scheme in your country? I know neighboring Malaysia has a EPF, Australia has some superannuation thingy. What about your country?

Watching time zoom past...

I was standing at the traffic light waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
It is around 7 pm, thus the dark sky.



Just a view of the financial district, ie start of Robinson Road. Watching cars zoom past while I wait...

Do you think your 24 hours is enough everyday?
