手把青秧插满田
低头便见水中天
The farmer sees the reflection of the sky as he sows his seeds.
心地清洁方为道
The clarity of the reflected sky likened to a mirror.
退步原来是向前
The farmer moves behind each row and continues to sow his seeds, till the whole field is complete.
Meaning:
The farmer sees the reflection of the sky, but he forgets that his own reflection is also cast against the backdrop of the sky.
Many times, we critique others but lie oblivious to our own shortcomings. Thinking through, we do not gain anything from that. Instead, being reflective of ourselves allows us to look at things with a greater perspective. Where times call for a compromise, it might sometimes be for the betterment of the bigger picture.
This is an important lesson for me.
It was the first time we walked from the train station to the actual site. It took about 10 mins. A peaceful, sheltered stroll.
Eager to look at the progress of the construction, we made our way up an existing block of flats just next to the construction site. We went up to the highest level...
These were the birds eye view from the 30th floor...
Pictorious view of the Reservoir from the 30th floor. When the Peak is completed, it will be 42 storeys high. I am sure it's future occupants will see much more.
10th floor view. We shared the same lift journey with the uncle as when we took the lift to the 30th level. Looks more of like what we would be seeing. Not too bad either.
Overall progress of construction...
See that ongoing construction? Yes, that's Trevista, which costs double of E Peak, launched later, with a much faster pace of construction.
More skyscrapers.
Will TPY become famous for it's towering giants in future?
Eager to see what our completed flats would look like, we went to City View, also a DBSS with the same developer, Hoi Hup. It's modular blocks are practically identical, and this is what we got..
Conclusion: I can't wait to have a place of my own.
