Since Alyssa commenced her Chinese lesson at Jiang Education Centre at Fu Lu Shou Complex, I had been roaming the bugis area while she was in class. 1.5 hours are quite a long while. And for a fast walker like me, I can easily cover some major shops in Bugis Junction to OG to all the nearby street stores. Having done that for several weeks, I ventured further and explored the campus of SMU. I was impressed with the infra structure. Along the way, I decide to rediscover the Civic District for the next few weeks. I must say I used to comb this area when I was in school - to hunt for second-hand text books at the now demolished bookshops along Bras Besah Road at the beginning of the school year, OR to go for movie after the final examinations. I also frequented the Red Cross HQ which was located somewhere near Clemenceau Road - not far from the Civic District.
Some of the landmarks in the Civic District that I had revisited include the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd which is the first purpose built Roman Catholic Church in Singapore. It is now raising funds for restoration work. I also spend some quiet moments alone inside the cathedral in the past three weeks.
