The First Coat

This little gem of an estate is finally getting a paint job. And the residents are interested.

It was a bright Saturday morning, and Kelvin, Ramon, Margaret, Chris, Clement, Jean, Marc, Chew & Mandeep met up at the Tiong Bahru CC. We came together to form a core group that is especially interested in the choice of theme and colours for the new paint scheme. Kudos to Kelvin for bringing us together!

We spoke over bites of mooncake and kueh, about how best we can work in partnership with the authorities and how to involve the entire community in this project. It was important to us that the proposed makeover follow a conservation and heritage approach, and that the outcome reflected the preferences of the community. This is a great opportunity to make Tiong Bahru even prettier, and a great chance to bring our community together.

We'll post more details as we go along, but here's a picture of us to start. (Mandeep's taking the pic.)
