The story of the bamboo

Learning points:

from the farmer: (teacher)
- to believe in the potential of the bamboo to eventually grow out of the soil (potential of every student)
- recognising varied growth rate of plants (learning curve of different students)

from the bamboo: (student)
- the value of patience (to be unaffected by others' quick success)
- continue to grow roots despite being unseen by others (be invested to develop one's basics though inconspicuous to others)

Strange Horizons: The giant spinning tops off Tampines Road | The Long and Winding Road

Strange Horizons: The giant spinning tops off Tampines Road | The Long and Winding Road

Strange Horizons: The giant spinning tops off Tampines Road

What does look like two giant spinning tops from the bottom of a grassy slope along Tampines Road are actually two concrete inverted cone shaped storage tanks built to each hold 8448 cubic metres of NEWater – water recycled from waste treated to become drinking quality water. The elevated tanks which measure 43 metres in diameter at the top, make up the Tampines NEWater Service Reservoir maintained by the Public Utilities Board (PUB) provide storage for NEWater produced nearby for use by nearby electronic chip manufacturing factories which require very clean water.
