It used to be Home

I just finish a job and was on my way to another when I passed this neigbourhood next to Kallang MRT station. The residents have moved out and the blocks are sealed and ready for demolition. People still walk pass this estate which used to be someone's home, and I remember that the Macdonalds was still open 2 months back. The carpark is still open to public though.

I grew up in an estate like this too. Nostalgia struck me eveytime I chanced upon one that is vacant and ready to be demolished. Soon, new blocks of apartment may take its place and all that remains are memories for a child, a newly-wed couple or an old couple who used to live there. It seems that in this fast-changing society, we can only hold on to memories, and everything else passes by. Some developments around us make no sense to me. If only we can leave things the way they are.
