Henry Park // Henry Congressional

Somewhere in a corner on this island, lies a block of forsaken flats.

Forsaken…

… but not forgotten.

After all, they are worth $175.9million!

But like a dying fish gasping for a last breadth of air, Henry Congressional appeared.

Unassuming and humble.

Good food and tea.

With minimalist decor.

Reasonably quiet.

Where will they move to after the en-bloc takes place? No one knows yet. But I do hope it’s somewhere where the original spirit of the place can be retained. Where the people do not seem stressed by the pressures of a capitalist economy. Where they can be happy just making coffee, tea and cookies for visitors. I guess that sound like a little too much to hope for. We do live in a highly-urbanized society, after all.

Will I still get to see this place as I saw it today? Only time will tell.

Am just glad that I managed to catch a glimpse of the life here still untouched by the 175.9million development project – whatever that will bring.

All in all, a good prelude to the trip 🙂
