Clementi Woods with its jogging tracks, exercise equipments and other sporting facilities , is popular among the residents of Clementi West and West Coast estates.

Most evenings after sundown and before it gets dark, you could see people, young and old, taking strolls or doing some physical exercise at the park.

It is located between West Coast Road and the sprawling National University of Singapore campus.

In the morning, the sound of chirping birds in the trees of Clementi Woods (just opposite our block) is a complete contrast from the hustle and bustle of the busy city areas.

The lush greenery of Clementi Woods and the beautiful view of the sea in the distant horizon was a sight to behold. I used to stand for long hours at the bedroom window of our former apartment at night to admire the beauty of the night scene.

It was truly therapeutic.....and helps to remove the stress at the workplace during the day.

The view from the window now is no longer the sea or Clementi Woods.

Its just the cold, concrete walls of Ginza Plaza; and the noisiness of the busy shoppers below.

Perhaps the residents there now find the convenience of shopping almost at their own doorstep a worthwhile trade-off; but give us the seaview anytime if we had a choice.
