Back.

Have been really lazy to do anything, including going online. All i do these days are sleep, eat, play, and sleep again.

I bones are really really heavy.

Sorry Anna, for not visiting you while i was in Singapore. I forgot that you were studying in Singapore, bad memory. But hey! I think i just met you on last Wednesday in Sunway right? =D


Ah... time to add some words under these photos. *lazy*

It's been at least 5 years i haven't been to Singapore.

The decision of going there was made so suddenly as if Singapore was just a 5 minute drive from my house. Aunt bought my bus ticket on Friday morning, and we need to catch the bus on that night 8.30pm itself.

Listen, i'm not going there for pure fun ok~ I've got responsibility on me.

Aunt need to get her bladder 'fixed' back right in where it was suppose to be_means operation lah. So, i was there to company & also 'take care' of her. It turns out she didn't really need it.

Ya, except from helping her to carry her luggage and help her to spend more money.

She went to check in to the hospital straight away after we got off the bus, at 1am in the morning. And then i followed Uncle Robert back to his house in Bukit Panjang.

Saturday morning, after a breakfast and sending Uncle Robert's Mini Cooper to fix, i was dropped off at the Esplanade Park to start my journey of discovery. Before i came to Singapore, I told my self not to loose the chance to be 'arty-fartsy' when im in Singapore.

I was so serious that i even bought a 'Lonely Planet' guide book from the Times bookshop in Marina Square. Which was actually quite a waste. All i needed was a map of MRT and bus routes. Instead, i bought a RM60++ guide book.

I didn't realise how stupid i was when i bought it.
Anyway, i made full use of it.


The JENDELA visual art space i visited at Esplanade.




I like this work by Blair Rood outside the art space.
Ermm... i can't take photos IN the art space, so this was the only one i took.


There's also another work which i like by Shiah Chyi Yun, inside the space, which were 'words' or 'object' 'trying' to pretend to be other object...

Get what i mean? Nope, i guess you don't, coz i don't know what i am talking about also.




This is the outlook of Esplanade, Theatres on the Bay. Which look like a big durian or alien spacecraft from far, or near.

There are a lot of very nice, amazing looking and magnificent architecture in Singapore, and i really like them. Good for you Anna, for studying Architecture there.




Hmm... this artwork outside the Esplanade Park sort of reminds me of a folk tale of Singapore. Will check it out. I remember i read it from somewhere before.




More of the durian. * or pineapple? *




The view of the city from the side of the bay.




The 'DURIAN" again.




And then, from the Esplanade Park, i walked to Marina Square Complex...

Look what i found?! MUJI in Marina Square! Olala...now i don't need to fly to Japan to buy MUJI products.

Long Live MUJI!!




Hmm...this is the second time i get to see the real thing. The 1st time was at Ginza-Tokyo.




Gorgeous huh! So sexy from every angle.
Believe it or not, i have one also. Heavily pimped kaw-kaw one somemore.

In my Need For Speed-Undercover.




A sculpture outside the Suntec.




It look so awesome. Fun in another way.




Now you see how big it is?




Gorgeous stuff.




I think the Singapore government is doing a very good job in pushing the art scene there. Sculptures and outdoor artwork like these are spread around the city. Unlike some stupid neighbour of Singapore...


Sculpture in Orchard Road.




Cool!




Ah, i am tired of complaining the same bloody things over and over again...
I will join PKR once i'm 21yrs old.

After

And then, i went to Geylang for dinner with Uncle Robert and his friend - Sam, on Saturday night, after paying a visit to my aunt in the hospital.

Walked for very lonh before we settle down in a restaurant.

Beef noodle.






Pork Chop.




Frog legs! it goes well with the plain porridge served. The gravy taste really good, cooked with onion, ginger and balck sauce, the frogs limbs were fresh. The flesh were so smooth it actually 'slip' down my throat.




Singapore Hokkien mee!

It looks and taste really really different with the Malaysian style one.




Look what i bought from Suntec!



Ok, thats all for day 1 of a 'bag-pack-traveller-wannabe'. For the rest of the days, go to the next post. =D

Kenduri Kesyukuran




















旧的不去, 新的不来

Means, "old one don't go, new one won't come".

My family said bye-bye to previous Toyota Estima we had,


Not this one lah, this photo i curi from net, ours was the same model as above, but in silver.



It had served us for almost 7 years... after all the long distance journey and daily 'torture' from my aunt, the car had been in very 'ill' condition for the past 5 months. The cost of fixing it over and over again was... unimaginable.

Aunt, can't survived without a car, so, her dilemma then turns to me - my Myvi.


But thanks God!! I don't have to 'suffer' anymore! Coz now...


WE HAVE A NEW ONE!!



Same nombor plate but a newer model.

Sexy back!!




My my my... this car is awesome. 2.4litre engine, with semi auto transmission, aeras spec. Front, side and back parking cameras, left side auto door, great audio/visual DVD system with GPS. Front and side skirting...

And it handles like a toy car!


Now, who want to makan angin with me? Book now!
