We are so lucky that Olin ended when it did. If we were to end a week later, we would be stuck in Logan right now :( Pray that everyone stuck at the east coast airports gets home safely!
Instead, I am enjoying the tropical weather :) and the food, hehe.
This is roti prata, a kind of Indian pancake(?). It is usually eaten with curry. Quite a common breakfast food.
I took a stroll at a local park, here are some pictures of typical Singapore view.
This is Pasir Ris Park. 'Pasir Ris' stands for 'white sands' in Malay. The park is right next to a long stretch of beach along the eastern end of Singapore. It is not the prettiest of tropical beaches but it is free and easily accessible.
Once the trees clear up, the beach is in plain sight. There are often people flying kites against the ocean wind because it is so strong. The kite(r?) in that picture is only a toddler!
Coconuts! Om nom nom... I wanted to buy one but they only had the Malaysian variety... which aren't tasty. If you ever come to the region, try the Thai coconuts. Those are the best!
Found a coconut shoot growing! :)
This is a Kelong. To quote wikipedia, a Kelong (sometimes spelt Kellong) is a Malay word to describe a form of offshore platform built predominantly with wood, and can be found in waters off Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia, while only a handful remains around Singapore due to rapid urbanisation.
It is often built as a fishery. The fisherman lives on the Kelong and only comes ashore to buy necessities.
I couldn't stay for long because the wind was not helping my cough. But it was still great to go out and relax :)
