Throwback Thursday: That Time we were at The Vision

One of the nicest places we lived in Singapore was at The Vision. It was a condo building located on the West Coast area. We were lucky to find and move to the unit just before the start of the lockdown. It was also our first time to live on a high floor. We checked out the area because it was just a stone's throw away from our friends.

I told Sweetie the other night what I missed most about that place, the view. Being high up allowed us to see our surroundings from a different perspective. We saw a lot of birds and the SG anniversary aircrafts when they would practice. The balcony was also a perfect place to do some gardening. 


Beautiful blue skies (Singapore)


Aside from the nice view, we also experienced nice breezes. It was especially good when the air cleared up because of the lockdowns. It would get scary though during heavy rain. There were also times when it was so windy, the wind would howl (probably caused by the wind going through the building crevices). 


Scary skies.


My favorite place though was the lobby area. It had a fountain that served as a round-a-bout. I spent a lot of time waiting for my ride in the area and enjoyed watching birds drink and bath. You can see one from the video below. 




The nearest establishment in the area was just McDonald's and a coffee shop in the condo beside us. We enjoyed walking to the park though, West Coast Park. When the circuit breaker eased up, we'd meet our friends at McDonald's. It felt so surreal when we finally got together for the first time after a long, long time. 

West Coast in Singapore is still developing. We didn't have commercial places nearby, but it was where we weathered out the pandemic. It was the perfect place to be. :)
