It is always a great jog at Jurong lake, home to the Chinese Garden and Japanese Garden.Usually we start our jog in the mid-evening when it is not too hot and there is always nice things to see along the way.
As usual we like to take photos of this and that for memories' sake.
The Pagoda brings back memories of my younger days. When I was little, I lived in Malaysia. Once, my family came to holiday in Singapore, and we visited the Chinese Garden. I remember the same spots where my mom, my sister and I posed for photos, more than 30 years ago. The Pagoda was one of these spots.
These following 4 pairs of photos are those taken many years ago (in 1982, to be exact) and taken recently. The place looks very much the same as decades ago although the trees are definitely bigger, and older now:)
Above and below: near the lake with the "palaces". I must find out their actual name the next time I go there.
Above and below: The Pagoda, of course. it was recently refurbished and given a new name, though.
Above and below: See? the same corner where my mom, my sister and I took the photo many years ago and how it stays the same after all these years...
Above and below 2 photos: the main (grand) entrance
Fast forward to 2017............ kids and I climb the steps of the Pagoda to enjoy the scenery and the breeze...
I hope I can continue to climb the steps of the Pagoda in the many years to come!
