I had always wanted to have a garden with big leafy plants and a stream of water flowing and trickling down into a pool of water with fishes. The sound of water and watching the fishes swimming among the plants and rocks just gives me this sense of peace and calm that i cannot describe.

However, staying in an HDB flat has deprived me of this small dream that i always had.

So, in 2007, i decided that just dreaming was not going to get me anywhere and set out to create my own in my balcony. I knew that it will never be a true water garden but i thought better something that nothing.

I sketched about 10 over drawings of how i wanted my balcony to look like.

Finally, after talking to some shops on the cost involved on the main items and taking into account the space i had in my balcony, I decided on the final design.
