East Coast Park 33 Degrees Celsius

 It was very hot today and if you stayed for more than five minute in direct sunlight, you could disintegrate. Possibly. That was how hot it had felt at 33 Degrees Celsius as reported by the radio. Possibly the temperature was higher at the beach where we were seated. What made up for the otherwise unbearable heat was the strong breeze blowing in our faces and the lovely shade from the numerous tall trees that took years to reach this stage of maturity. This was just a chat in the park, not a walk, just a chat for about an hour after a meal at the Hawker Centre that was nothing to crow about in terms of quality and price. The food was passable but the prices have passed the mark of respectability. They will not be the reasons for future visits. We have to return to East Coast Park but only when the tide is high and when there is a breeze blowing continuously. Better to be there in the morning or evening and on a weekday. Never on a weekend or public holiday or school holidays. East Coast Park is another piece of heaven on earth in Singapore if you are there at the right time.
