Evening Wanderings: A 30-minute Stroll along Beach Road to the Singapore River

avatar

I just returned from a 30-minute stroll around the city, walking from the South Beach Road area to the Singapore River. It was a refreshing bit of exercise that I had been craving since the start of the week. I felt like I'd been stuck at my desk for so long that the need for a good, long walk had become urgent, lol. Tonight's walk made me appreciate my surroundings more. Seeing the popular sites from a different vantage point made me realize that even a familiar view can reveal a new kind of beauty.

My stroll began when I alighted at the Esplanade MRT station and exited on the South Beach Road side. This exit is closest to Raffles City, which was my intended destination for the evening. Originally, I had planned to visit Jurong Lake Gardens in the mid-afternoon, but due to uncooperative weather, I had to postpone that and find another spot in the city worth exploring at night.

I’ve never really explored the interior of the South Beach development, though I often notice the wavy design of its roof from a distance. The area has a nice upscale vibe and seems like a great spot to find some fancy restaurants and bars.

I didn’t plan to dine there, so I headed toward the Beach Road side of the building. The building is well-designed and easy to navigate, with everything arranged along a straight line and plenty of signs to guide you.

On the side of the road, there’s a huge metal sculpture that made me pause and reflect on what it might represent or mean. I couldn’t figure it out, but it was intriguing enough for me to appreciate its scale and construction.

From there, I decided to walk along Beach Road towards the Bras Basah Road area.

Along the way, I managed to photograph some interesting architecture that caught my eye, featuring a mix of traditional and modern designs. I’ve always been fascinated by buildings with artistic elements.

That modern building is called the WeWork - Office Space & Coworking.

Somewhere along Beach Road is the Raffles Hotel, one of the most elegantly designed buildings in the area. It’s named after Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of modern Singapore, and the famous Singapore Sling cocktail was invented in the hotel's Long Bar.

After admiring the beauty of this building, I decided to continue toward the City Hall area. At the intersection of Bras Basah Road and Beach Road, I came across an interesting setup: the War Memorial Tower alongside the towers of the Raffles City shopping mall.

After briefly exploring the area, I headed to St. Andrew's Road and walked toward the National Gallery Singapore. I chose this route to catch a glimpse of the classically designed building that once housed the former Supreme Court.

This classically designed building is one of the finest legacies of the British colonial era. It continues to be admired today and has become a cherished landmark in the city.

After taking enough photos of the surroundings, I made my way to the Singapore River, hoping to capture the cityscape while the sky was still perfectly blue. I was thrilled that my timing was spot-on and that I managed to photograph my stroll while the lighting was still excellent.

My evening stroll through the city was a delightful reminder of the beauty and charm that surrounds us. From the elegant architecture to the vibrant atmosphere, each moment offered a unique perspective on the familiar. I look forward to more adventures and discoveries in this dynamic city that never ceases to inspire me.

Architecture there seems interesting but my favorite photos are the ones where lights are glowing near the water and seem to be coloring it with different colors.

At Bilpcoin, we're committed to helping and supporting people, not abusing them. We're burning as many BPC tokens as we can. We ask, why doesn't anyone do anything about these bad downvotes on Hive?

Very alarming situation on Hive: Misuse of power, fake interactions, and abuse of downvoting we've spoken up about the abuse of power on Hive, only to be downvoted and spoken to poorly.

Themarkymark and others are misusing their power, with Blocktrades delegating Hive power to Buildawhale and Usainvote.

On Hive a significant issue exists with automatic upvotes consistently rewarding the same individuals day in and day out

We want to address the issue of downvoting. It has caused pain to many people, and we want to make sure it doesn't happen again reply to @jacobtothe

On Hive a significant issue exists with automatic upvotes consistently rewarding the same individuals day in and day out

We hope that those who genuinely care about Hive will reconsider their actions, as continuing down this path could inadvertently harm innocent users who are unaware of these issues

lol the Marky mark keeps dreaming

There's been a notable increase in frustration and concern among many users

Reply 2 @crimsonclad You may consider yourself clever

Reply to @crimsonclad

Consider revising the value plan, as it's not providing significant benefits to HIVE

The Value Plan, as it stands, seems to be a one-sided relationship with the HIVE platform, where the benefits are one-way

Actions indeed speak louder than words, a fact we've all observed individuals may talk a good game, a whole lot of shit, but their actions often expose their genuine nature LOL

We consider it unwise to engage in harmful actions, even if you think you can escape the repercussions

https://hive.blog/politics/@jacobtothe/re-bpcvoter1-shjdc8

The Hive Police aka Hivewatchers, are the real heroes of Hive LOL, aren't they?

Feast your eyes on Hive's trending page, what a load of trash

LoL it's the Hivewatchers Hive Police, dishing out orders like a bakery LOL! Folks, do what you want with your Hive power, just as you please. And you, Hivewatchers, downvote away, but remember, judgment day's coming

Harry fam We're just here, laughing at the shenanigans on Hive! Sure, our content's getting downvoted, but hey, it's all part of the game LOL

On Hive, there's a user who frequently burns a significant amount of Hive LOL with his own accounts

How To Fool An Entire Population

it's so, so concerning to see Blocktrades delegating 2+ million Hive power to Buildawhale, and Buildawhale is downvoting legitimate content

We began sharing factual information following unwarranted downvotes on Hive it's all in the transactions

Upon examining our posts, you will notice they have been downvoted, and we've been labeled as scammers and spammers, which we find amusing. We consistently share new content

Once again, we ask why is our legit content being downvoted on Hive and what is the reason behind it. Hivewatchers ADM spaminator steemcleaners guiltyparties logic

We have Hive witnesses farming Hive, self-voting, operating comment farms, and self-funding projects with community resources

I'm serious, turn yourself in before you turn postal. Get the help you need. No one should suffer like this.

https://peakd.com/inleo/@themarkymark/re-bpcvoter1-skbzej

Downvoters we've got to ask, what's the joy in downvoting, huh? It just shows how down in the dumps you are! Remember, Themarkymark himself has been downvoted in the past

Funny seeing how much power a Hiver with mental health issues wields! And talk about support, Blocktrades is like his trusty sidekick LOL

Many question the impact of downvoting and the role of certain Top Hivers, including Themarkymark who abuses his power, many express disappointment about the lack of response from those in positions of authority NO HELP.

Buildawhale downvoting good content, self-voting comments powering down funds that are then sent to Ipromote and then the alpha account controlled by Blocktrades' wife doesn't look good and raises questions about the transparency and fairness of Hive.
