The new swimming pool at Parc Maasresidence Thorn

For six months now, I have been walking past the bright wooden panels, the platformed terrace, and the spiraling slide of the swimming pool that stands out prominently across from the MRT Promenade. Every day, I look longingly at those blue tiles that still remain as dry as the first day I saw them...
