Are there nice quiet places in S'pore to just hang out and read?

[hurtleturtle]

Sitting on the grass is a bad idea in Singapore... It's just too muddy and filled with creepy crawlies. Yukk.

Are there any nice quiet places in Singapore to read?

Preferably not a coffee place or other paying place.... not because I'm not willing to play, but because I'd be taking up their commercial space.

Any ideas?

East Coast Beach- lots of benches, cool breeze etc....

Botanic Gardens

NUS ,SIM, SMU campus

The waterbreakers at East Coast. The benches along most beaches and reservoirs.. I particularly like Tanjong Beach, Sentosa due to the strong winds, ample shade, near-emptiness and sheer spaciousness.

I guess if you don't mind a little background noise / white noise, then a bench overlooking the bird-poles (the poles where the elderly hang their bird cages and listen to them sing) in an old estate (Clementi, Tiong Bahru, Serangoon; the last two named after birds) would be enriching.

hey that's actually a good idea. i've nvr done that b4.

i usually just hang out at quiet coffee places so i won't feel like i'm preventing them fr earning more money. sometimes the owners prefer u to hang ard too so the place doesnt look too bare.

I try to go a hill area, so u may wanna try bukit timah nature reserve, there is also a hill at marsling, these area are usually cooling and being close to nature makes reading even more enjoyable. they hav chairs and benches there so u need not worry abt sitting on the grass
