For the past many years, I visited some of the places of interest with my family when we had an opportunity. When our overseas friends visited Singapore, we would bring them to those places of interest we ever visited. As I was busy at work during those days, I was not aware of other places in Singapore we could visit. I thought that Singapore was very small and very boring.

The places of interest we visited were Sentosa Island, Chinese Garden, Mandai Zoo and Jurong Birdpark. I was not aware that there were also natural parks that we could spend many hours there.

Do You Know the Names of the Grass?

I used to bring my son for a stroll when he was young. As my son was always curious of what he saw, he told me that there were different types of grass on the field.

When we were walking on the field once, I told him to watch out for the dropping of cats and dogs on the field. Instead of watching those animals dropping, he told me that there were many types of grass. He walked and pointed to show me, "Look, this type and that type are different." Only then, I realised that we were walking on the field of many different types of grass. I could not answer to my son the names of the types of grass he saw.

I went to the bookshop and looked for a book regarding the different types of grass we saw in Singapore. Then, whenever we walked on the field, I would bring the book and checked out the name of the grass we saw.

The Nature

After visiting Sentosa Island for a few times, my son was not interested to go there anymore. He said that it looked the same every time he visited. Then, he asked me to bring him to the parks. We went to Sembawang Park, Labrador Park, East Coast Park and Macritchie Treetop Park. And we went to the West Coast Park very often.

We went to the West Coast Park for many times, but my son was still very keen to visit it. Whenever we visited the West Coast Park, we spent many hours and took many pictures of the nature.

Oh! The Paradise is within our heart.
