goes by the name veron (english) or wanting (chinese). a definitive leo born august 1, 1984. a solo traveler. loves cats, coffee, sensual music, yummy food and technology. when she's not at her job as an IS developer for the government, she's likely to be out dining, or visiting an interesting art gallery or event.
the car park outside somerset MRT station used to be the most “dangerous” car park in singapore. home to many trees and a hot spot for thousands of birds, people who parked their cars there frequently returned to find their vehicles covered in bird poop! passers-by quickened their pace, some might have ran, for fear of being… excreted on by one of the birds. (sorry, have to go laugh myself silly at that image!)
that problem no longer exists now that all the trees have been logged and car park demolished to make way for a new shopping mall. like we don’t have enough malls already! some of those trees must have been decades old. what a pity!
as for the birds, they would need new roles to fill their time of course. they’ve found new jobs as postmen!
see? they are climbing ladders, using parachutes and riding rockets to get our mail delivered! what an adorable idea! this cute postbox is one of the 40 postboxes that have been creatively painted for STAMP, a nationwide art project. i am voting for this design and four others.
voting ends april 29! only a few days left to vote, so hurry! support creativity!

Have you seen the mailbox near funan? Around gramphone that area. Its a white colour 1 with a litle gal trying to reach for the hole to slot her envlope. Then there is a fish walking on a stick. View all comments by DK
No I haven’t! Actually I haven’t noticed most of these postboxes in real life, except for the one at Dhoby Ghaut. View all comments by Veron
Wow, this is cute! Maybe I love animals and cartoons, so I find this funny…. or most likely it’s because you described them climbing ladders, it just feels very alive… like human…I won’t notice that they are birds until you say so, cos they looks alien.
Hey, did you see the CU08 : Chinese Musician. The ah pek looks exactly the same! I guess he must be very happy to have became the icon of Chinatown. View all comments by Xanthe
I haven’t read all the descriptions and didn’t realise that the design was modeled after an actual person! Hahaha iconic figure indeed. I hope he knows that he has been immortalised on a postbox! *lol* View all comments by Veron
