Perhaps the stretch of months between September towards November would be the quiet-est moment in my blog, which could be that it’s a good or a bad thing altogether. It may look like I’m living a good happy life or on the other way around. But I still owe my readers apology for not updating even often. Work wise, I would say, a steady progression has made its way throughout the entire year until now. Lots of thing were done, while none of them would stands out spectacularly among the crowd, but at least I can say, I’ve learnt. The hard way. With a blink of an eye, a year is again reaching towards its end!
Round round merry go round
Had a chance to go towards the Singapore Flyer, and dinner on one of the Japanese restaurants. Tastes…normal.
And during the period of time is coincidentally are the Lunar festivals for the Chinese. Thus the lantern, autographed lantern.
And the amount you have to pay is pretty hefty too! Note to HSBC card users, that you will entitle for a free ticket if you purchase one by the card! That’s really good huh.
On the way towards the platform.
And unlike the usual one you see, this will be able to fit at least 20 people in one cabin, which you could actually opt for a private-cabin, but it would cost a bomb. I wouldn’t understand if anyone wants to have dinner inside these.
That’s the Singapore’s Marina Bay.
And right below is the casino that is still under construction.
Some interesting setup just right below the flyer.
Guess the lamp riddles? It’s really almost a cultural tradition for Chinese to have these activities during the eve of the Lunar festival where people will exchange different riddles just for the fun of it.
This is located at The Central, Clarke Quay.
It’s a cat…apparently.
And I assume this is suppose to be rooster?
And while most of the decors are interesting, this one seems to attract people or tourists around due to its depiction of history’s one most memorable moment where in “Chi Bi” (The Great Red Cliff War), ZhuGe-Liang diverted the enemies attention towards fake decoys and reuse their own arrows back towards themselves!
I had no idea what does the words on top means?
The moon on the eve of Lunar festival.
Thunder Tea!
It may strike as odd for a person like me to understand and appreciate this dish which is not really mainstream, which is literally known as “Thunder-Tea” which combines several spices and a lot of different vegetables mixed with a bowl of cold mint soup.
This shop is located right behind Berjaya Times Square along the stretch of shops that has seafoods around. Not sure about the name of the shop though. Somehow if you do like this kind of dish, you might also would be interested in trying out Vietnamese food which might strike some resemblance to you.
Look! Leg-less!
Playing the game for the name
While I have been working roughly close to a year, where it’s not closely related to education, but more towads advertising, it’s natural that I will need to somehow get tied to things like this, award ceremony and meeting people or socializing.
Well to be exact, this would be the first time I’ve attended this and I’ve not sure what to expect out of this though.
The peoples inside the award ceremony is made out of lots of different type of people though, and some familiar faces as well.
And though this may always be the best when you garner lots of award and fame as one, however as for me, most probably things like this will still be out of reach on my interest where I’d prefer to make good work, but not much of making out good network from talking and attending events. I think that’s what in my thought at that moment. Commercially speaking, it would seem earning more and more awards that a hand can even hold would be most profitable solution, but do you think so as well as an individual? How does it help a designer? To even get into this kind of scene without stepping your leg into the ‘advertising’ scene?
What’s been cooking daily?
And speaking of passing times, I had moved to a new place to stay as my rent contract has ended prematurely due to the main tenant is moving out of the country. Sad but had to deal with it.
Though this place seems dodgy and not as interesting as it should be at first, I got kind of used to it after a while.
Had to take buses and MRT at once to reach to desired destination though.
And finally had a chance to chill at this place known as East Coast Park where tons of locals will come to this place to chill over the weekend, from eateries, to roller blading, to cycling to even…camping in the city…
One of the local KTV in town.
Prices are pretty hefty of course if you convert it directly.
This is known as one of the most famous pig-organ stall in Singapore. Located near in between Bugis and Lavender.
If you are by any chance pass by this road named Jalan Besar, you might stumble across this shop. It opens until 5am in the morning.
New rooms, new housemates.
Potluck party as well!
While it’s been a month, but one of my colleague had a chance to go over to GuiLin in China for some wedding preparation/honeymoon. Took something back as souvenir.
This one looks dodgy at first…
And tastes really dodgy as well 
I think it’s made out of flour and…flour.
Back in Malaysia where it’s more common to see weird and interesting shape of clouds. Strippy clouds this one it seems.
