After a while he wonder why his "garden is so boring". <br /><br />It turns out that he has selected green flowers because that is the only colour he agrees with, and all these green flowers coming from his cronies are even greener and shinier.<br /><br />Being top flowers and plastic, they are too glaring and overshadow the real plants growing in the garden. So, the real plants wilt and LKY has to put in more fake expensive plants that do nothing but give the impression that a democractic garden has flowers. <br /><br />The resident butterflies and birds left the garden for real greener pastures because there are no real flowers left in LKY garden.<br /><br />Next, he notices the plastic flowers collecting water, causing ponding because the plant stands are made of concrete and water has nowhere to flow out of his garden. <br /><br />Finally, mosquitoes from the north take the place of the absent birds and butterfies, at the same time, algae start growing on the fake plants of the artifical garden. One of them is Tin Pei Ling. <br /><br />LKY stops visiting his garden. On occasions that he visits, he does not stay long, leaving after his algae start to talk.<br /><br />His garden is made in his image, but it is deprived of a healthy ecology. LKY blames the neighbours for the mosquitoes and ponding. <br /><br />But sadly, he reflects the days when he inherits a potentially beautiful English garden and if only he has done some basic tender loving care and leave the buds alone, his garden would be full of life. Even the frogs will come to live and the birds build nests.<br /><br />The blood sucking mosquitoes from the north will not have turn his garden into a swamp.<br /><br />- - -<br />With budget airlines at the cost of a bus trip, Singaporeans are hopping overseas for day and weekend trips.<br /><br />Orchard Road should be recast into Orchard River casino with canal transport.LKY Gardennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-76018211573501808532012-01-11T07:34:45.129-08:002012-01-11T07:34:45.129-08:00Even the shopping districts in KL and Bangkok are ...Even the shopping districts in KL and Bangkok are better than Orchard Road.
