Exploring Our Children’s Potentials

For a considerably tiny city, Singapore works really hard on developing itself, I think.

Old buildings get a facelift, and construction of new ones is ongoing in many parts of the city.

And, pretty soon one striking landmark right in the middle of Orchard Road will appear too, called ION Orchard, said to be THE place for shopping and all.

I heard it’s supposed to be opened ‘at the end of 2008’, but when the kids and I went past the area last week, from the look (and sounds) of things, I’m guessing it’s still rather far from ready. In the first quarter of next year, perhaps?

Anyway.

As I tend to treasure ‘the making of things’ and not just the ‘final results’, I got a shot of the kids with the ‘still-under-construction-ION-Orchard’ in the background.

I guess it’s just a simple way of reminding ourselves – years later – how little the kids once were when the ‘famous Singapore landmark’ itself was still being built.

And for the kids to remember that all really nice things in life do go through ‘time’ and ‘process’ too.
