<p>Hawker near the bus interchange. Hawker is the name given to food centers housing stalls that sell cheap foods. I&#8217;ve never tried eating here before. The stalls are all closed now but usually this place is so crowded.</p>

<p>I can see my block now! 10 more minutes to reach!</p>
<p><a title="photowalk_bedok_act1_19 by Luc Melgar, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maryluc/3032521250/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3138/3032521250_25c49eb869.jpg" alt="photowalk_bedok_act1_19" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p>Anyway, I decided to check the park above before going home. This is around 11:00 PM and it&#8217;s quite eerie. What I like about Singapore is that it has a very low crime rate. I feel safe strolling around anytime.</p>
<p><a title="photowalk_bedok_act1_21 by Luc Melgar, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maryluc/3032520184/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3248/3032520184_f319094df7.jpg" alt="photowalk_bedok_act1_21" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s kinda eerie to see this empty playground. I felt like I&#8217;m in some horror films. I was expecting something supernatural to happen while I was here haha</p>
<p><a title="photowalk_bedok_act1_22 by Luc Melgar, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maryluc/3031680657/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3156/3031680657_c4fba3749a.jpg" alt="photowalk_bedok_act1_22" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>

<p>There&#8217;s a construction going on here. I lost my way back. I have to go up again. :S Photowalk is a good exercise.</p>

<p>The block where I stay.<a title="photowalk_bedok_act1_27 by Luc Melgar, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maryluc/3032517158/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3199/3032517158_f60044c86a.jpg" alt="photowalk_bedok_act1_27" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p>There&#8217;s also a park behind my block. After coming back from work, I chill here just before going up to my unit.</p>
<p><a title="photowalk_bedok_act1_31 by Luc Melgar, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maryluc/3031677203/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3219/3031677203_4e27ff61f8.jpg" alt="photowalk_bedok_act1_31" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p>Oops! She got my bench.</p>

<p>13th floor corridor. I don&#8217;t like walking here. It&#8217;s spookier than it looks.</p>
<p><a title="photowalk_bedok_act1_33 by Luc Melgar, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maryluc/3032513414/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3032/3032513414_653aa302b1.jpg" alt="photowalk_bedok_act1_33" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p>View from the 13th floor.</p>
<p><a title="photowalk_bedok_act1_34 by Luc Melgar, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/maryluc/3032513072/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3175/3032513072_c7c61bcc35.jpg" alt="photowalk_bedok_act1_34" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p>I can see Raffles from here.</p>
<p>Photo walking is quite fun and healthy. I feel exhausted after this but I think it&#8217;s a good exercise. I felt shy at first because people were all looking at me. Some dashed to avoid the shot, and some are just simply posers who wants to be in the picture haha. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed these pictures as much as I enjoyed the photo walk.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whilst I think I&#8217;m late, this is my contribution for The Blog Action Day. This year&#8217;s theme is about poverty. I&#8217;m writing here quickly in a very casual way.</p>
<p>I remember when I first put up a blog (not octwelve), my second post was about this baby who is in need of a very rare and expensive milk to survive, and this milk can only be bought overseas. He is one of the many poor babies in the foundation that I support. But that time, monetary donations is not enough. So I emailed the people overseas that I know if they know the milk and if I could buy from them and ship it to me. It&#8217;s so difficult to get that milk. And I tried to blog about it too. But the thing is it&#8217;s just a second post. I don&#8217;t think I have enough credibility by that time. Although I have the video of the baby posted too, that blog is not very popular. So to make my long story short, my blog to find milk for the baby is not successful :(</p>
<p>Now I&#8217;m thinking,  I hope I can use this blog to raise funds for that foundation. And I could sponsor other charitable institutions as well. Nice idea right? But I think to do that, I need some permit. Hmm let&#8217;s see.</p>
<p>And now we are talking about this. I&#8217;ve been searching for years for this orphanage in the Philippines which adopts babies till 2 years old. I forgot the name, House of Angels or something. If you know it, do let me know. I hope this reaches them too.</p>
<p>I think this is one of the many ways to make use of technology to fight against poverty or atleast try to help those who are currently in need.</p>
<p>PS: The baby found his milk and survived :)</p>
