Today is a day nearer to the end of May. The weather remains hot but luckily there are some blessed showers in the afternoon. June will be hot as usual and humid. This could explain why the flowering Tembusu trees are flowering luxuriantly on the hillside and in the park itself. Fragrance is in the air and when the wind blows, tiny tembusu flowers float downwards carpeting the ground. The signs of leaving are written on the petals, the creamy colour giving way to departing yellow. The fragrance of the flowers is less overpowering than times when the flowering is at peak performance. Alas, beauty must be going. So enjoy while it is not completely gone.
I dedicate this blog to Mr Lee Kuan Yew, our first Prime Minister, who planted the first tree on 16 June 1963 to launch the tree-planting campaign in Singapore. What follows is a flourishing island of greenery and beautiful parks that I now have the privilege of enjoying. I will walk the parks with you in my heart. Thank you very much Mr Lee!
