Who Says There Is No Free Lunch in Singapore!

Here are my  reasons for saying there are  free lunches available  in this my lovely "Little Red Dot" Island if you look closely enough.  In our Public Libraries: There are thousands of books and audio-visual items which you can borrow.  Our libraries house a huge collection of books with daily addition of new arrivals -  on my recent visits I manage to borrow four new arrivals.  Everyday you can see the young and old enjoying the air-conditioning comfort  of the reading rooms and lounge areas.  In our Parks and Stadiums: You see people enjoying their morning/evening walks, jogs and "qi-gong" exercises.  In our iconic MacRitchie Reservoir and Botanic Gardens the beautiful sceneries and natural ambience are there for your enjoyment.  When the sun sets the lovers whisper sweet-nothings and subsume into the natural environment.  In the Espanade Concert Hall/Grounds:  There is a monthly free concert dubbed "The Beautiful Sunday" concert in the Concert Hall - the genre of music offerred range from Jazz/Symphonic Pop to Chinese Orchestral music.  That's not all, there are fringe acts/performances in the Concourse/Outdoor Theatre areas. Buses/Taxis:  Yes, you can hitch free rides from our friendly uncles and aunties who man such public  transport.  But you must be honest and explain your predicament -you may be facing a genuine "emergency" situation or you have just lost your wallet or belongings.  Our drivers will empathise with genuine requests but not cheats.

HERE MY FAMILY AND I WISH YOU A BLESSED CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
