September Sketchwalk at Marine Parade

Hi Sketchers!
This month, we’ll be heading to Marine Parade Central! With the recent opening of Thomson-East Coast Line Phase 4, getting to Marine Parade is way more convenient than before! What makes this area special is that it’s Singapore's first housing estate built entirely on reclaimed land. Marine Parade also features interesting landmarks like Parkway Centre and the popular Marine Parade Central Food Centre, known for its great food!

Happy Birthday Singapore

This year National Day we went to Esplanade Outdoor Theatre again for our annual NDP sketchwalk. We never got tired of this scene that depicted the achievement of our nation with heritage buildings fronting the waters and skyscappers adorn the skyline. Within a short span of one generation or 59 years since 1965, the nation had achieved so much from a swamped land to a first world country.

For the naysayers, of course there are still rooms for improvement but one cannot deny the strength, deligence, commitment and dertermination by our pioneer generation and the strong political leadership of this country.

Happy 59th Birthday Singapore. HOME TRUlY!
