22) Two articles in the toilet cubicle

| 27 Comments



I managed to extract two informative articles pasted on the inner side of  toilets cubicle partition in Singapore Botanic Gardens.  The open-concept toilets surrounded with beautiful plants and chirping birds is indeed a good place for inspirations!

1) Do you know the milky saps from Chiku trees (manilkara zapota) produces a gum that was the original source of chewing gum?  Does it remind you of the ‘Chicklets’ brand chewing gums or others?

2) Do you know the sea coconuts in our local dessert are from the fruit of palm, borassus flabellifer.  The male and female inflorescences are born on different plants.

While doing your business, you’ll enjoy the beautiful plants and birds chirping around you.  What more, you can enrich yourself with this information.  Isn’t it an idea as brilliant as the beaming sun!

  1. Wait a second! Do you mean people are using the toilets and people can see them? I don’t think I’d like that too much, Sydney! I prefer the toilets with a door or a similar partition! Beautiful nature pics though :D

  2. See, I learn something new every time I read your posts. Thank you.

  3. Oh, I read the open-concept explanation and am relieved people are not seeing you as you’re using the toilets! Sorry for not reading the explanation first. That’s a lovely piece of music you included :)

  4. Just to show appreciation and support for your awesome contribution, I wanted to let you know that you were awarded your star for the Blog of the Year 2012 award. :)

  5. Seriously Sydney? You crack me up!

  6. Kind’f humorous to say the least. This idea may become widespread, who knows. I’m game for public entertainment! AHA! Thanks for sharing.

  7. What an educated and civilized toilet you went to! I’ve been noticing that the newer airports, theatres, and even hospitals no longer have doors to the public washrooms. Instead, there are these angled entrances. And yes, most gadgets inside are hands-free like the flushers, faucets, dryers, etc. very sanitary too.

    Enjoyed the music again, Sydney!

  8. What I love most about your post, they have piece of you and life past, present and future. I would also like to thank you for the follow. We’re just a couple of guy from opposites side of the blue rock we live on.

  9. I love the Singapore Botanic Garden! It was the first place I went on my first day in Singapore because it was near my hotel and I figured I couldn’t do much harm bumbling around with jet lag in a garden. I was amazed at its beauty and the orchids – it’s quite the magical place.

    • Yes, truly a loveable place for relax and distress! This is my favorite spot you can see me always walking around with the camera in the Park!
      Thanks for sharing your experience with us during your Singapore stay.
      I see you around! Have a great day! Cheers! :)
