I cant stand a neighborhood with mosquito and housefly... >.<Wd40 wrote:I have moved to Jurong last couple of months back, after spending ages in Tampines.

The area itself is very nice, a different experience from the east. People seem more friendlier over here. The mix of people is very different.

Persian, you are starting to get on people's nerves. I've come to the conclusion that you are a waste of the earth's oxygen.
I remember reading a post somewhere, that a country actually initiated to plant 1 billion trees. hopefully other countries are able to follow their footsteps.
In SG is difficult (i feel) as the land is too small and population is growing.

Re: Street trees disappearing
Never mind the street trees, what happened to the cockroaches? There used to be cockroaches everywhere you look, with an occasional infestation every now and again. We used to spot a roach at home every so often, little ones, sometimes a big one, and I'd see them scurrying away outside pretty regularly. But now I can't even recall seeing a cockroach for months, maybe a year or so, apart from a dead one every now and again. Our bug spray has been sitting in the cupboard for a few years, totally unused.
I realize cockroaches are probably not as desirable as street trees. But it is a bit weird hardly ever seeing cockroaches in a city that practically sits on the equator.
Anyone else notice this?

Re: Street trees disappearing
Do you have a lot of Geckos? They wipe out roaches. I do agree though that our roach level is down compared to the previous years.

Re: Street trees disappearing
We do have a few resident geckos yes. And I'm pretty sure they take their fair share. But it doesn't really explain the way lower roach count when we're outside eh.
Any entomologists out there care to have a go?

The area is nice but there is like semi-permanent dengue cluster around Lakeside Dr. I am actually surprised not seeing any cases there right now.Wd40 wrote:I have moved to Jurong last couple of months back, after spending ages in Tampines.

Re: Street trees disappearing
welcome to the west coast WD40, people are nicer on this side of the country and everything is more green too.
To get there early is on time and showing up on time is late
