YESTERDAY, 14 Feb, I spent my afternoon doing homework. In the evening, my parents and I went to East Coast Park to cycle. After dinner at Sakae Sushi's Changi Airport branch, we drove to the Padang (We had intended to go to the Marina Barrage but we could not find it, so we went to the Padang instead) . It was already 9+ when we arrived.

Since it was Valentine's Day, there were many couples on the streets. Some even brought ponchos and sat in the open field. We walked around the Padang, admiring and reading on the history of the colonial architectures like the old Courthouse and Supreme Court. At the entrance of the old Courthouse was a group of rowdy teenagers hanging out. As we walked past them, they were blasting out rock music and there was even a whiff of alcohol. There was even broken glass pieces on the floor.

As we walked towards the Lim Bo Seng memorial, two women approached my father and asked if he wanted to buy a rose for my mother. But, my father had already bought a bouquet of flowers for her. At the river side, there were much more couples 'enjoying the scenery' or taking a walk.

It soon neared 10.30 and we walked back to our car. The rowdy group of teenagers at the old Courthouse were also leaving, with their litter strewn all over the floor.
