Community ART Gallery @ MacPherson

In Singapore, almost 85% of the citizens live in Public housing which is also known as Housing and Development Board (HDB). For people who live in HDB would think that their public housing block look rather dull and lifeless.

Do you know that in the quiet town of MacPherson, you can able to enjoy the colourful Art gallery without visiting to any museum? This is the first Art Gallery you can find in the typical HDB flat in Singapore!

Community ART Gallery @ MacPherson located at Block 56, Pipit Road. It was created by the residents of MacPherson and the students of ITE Central MacPherson. 

It's is very heartwarming that the residents of MacPherson can able to take time off together with the ITE students and painted this ART Gallery to the other residents of MacPherson to enjoy.

As the residents and the students tribute to Vincent Van Gogh, you can have better understanding of Vincent Van Gogh and his masterpiece which was painted by them.

You can able to enjoy Vincent Van Gogh work piece like Starry Night, The Red Vineyard, The Noon Rest and more.

I enjoyed myself in viewing the ART Gallery. I love The Noon Rest as the way they painted look so lively. If you would want to view more of the ART Gallery which I took at Block 56 Pipit Road, logon to my Facebook Page: xFotojournal

Or, it will be great if you could visit it yourself. The admission is Free.

柔佛新山老街

柔佛新山距离新加坡邊檢才2公里。但是2國人民的生活節奏大大不同。住在馬國的僑民，每天來往新加坡上班或上學。虽然他們每天來回各國的邊檢，因為货币差异和頂級的教育， 為了生活和更好的教育，他們得忍氣吞聲。也許柔佛新山靠近新加坡的關係，柔佛新山的僑民都會說普通話(華語)和看新加坡電視節目或聽新加坡電台。這也是東南亞最繁忙的邊檢。

住在新加坡的僑民，大多數來往柔佛新山消費。因為在這裡比較便宜（货币差异）。有的喜歡來這裡吃美食也過了邊檢搜寻有名氣的柔佛新山美食。

自從柔佛新山的邊檢所搬遷新的地方，柔佛新山老街慢慢的被人遺忘。你們是否曉得其實柔佛新山老街有很多地方可以探索？

柔佛新山老街已經有将近150年的歷史。柔佛新山老街見證大大小小的事故。如，英國統治马来亚(以前馬來西亞的舊名稱），日本攻擊東南亞，新加坡和婆罗洲跟馬來亞合并成馬來西亞。和後來新加坡分離馬來西亞。

你們是否知道柔佛新山老街是個美食天堂和文化中心的地方？在這裡你可以探索很多很有名氣的美食，如燒鴨飯，牛肉麵，肉骨茶，雞排等等。

有一個地方，我要介紹你們就是協裕麵包西果廠 (Hiap Joo Bakery and Biscuit Factory)！位置在13, Jalan Tan Hiok Nee, Johor Bahru, Johor 80000, Malaysia（靠近OCBC／以前的邊檢所）。協裕麵包西果廠成立於1919年，他們用燃木烤爐烘烤麵包和香蕉蛋糕！

很遺憾的事，我沒有機會品嘗他們的香蕉蛋糕，因為他們營業至下午2點30分。我下次一定會早點來！

在柔佛新山老街可以找到特別的集裝箱茶亭！店名叫Chaiwalla & Co Honest Tea。Chaiwalla & Co Honest Tea 的位置也靠近Jalan Tan Hiok Nee。

Chaiwalla & Co Honest Tea賣各式各樣的飲料和小點。他們是唯一用集裝箱來做生意。他們的員工很友善。如果你們有機會的話，可以試試這裡的飲料。

只要有時間，你們是否願意探索柔佛新山老街呢？
