Whampoa Park Connector

There's two Park Connector, Whampoa Park Connector, which can be walk within walking distance from Boon Keng MRT Station and ends at Toa Payoh, or Kallang Park Connector, which ends at Bishan,  this round, we plan to walk Whampoa Park Connector, but when we reach the venue, it started to rain. We went to the nearby shelter and saw Selegie Soya Bean and thought we will have something light while waiting to see if the rain will stop.


(1) I had a curry puff ($1) and a Soya Beancurd ($1.20)

After sometimes, the rain did not stop, since the rain is not too heavy, we decided to proceed with the walk with our umbrella since we have made our way there, to turn away without walking will be disappointing.
