After the Rain

During the hazy season, I begin to like the rain. Though it is Autumn now in most cities, but here in Singapore, it is still Summer :) and the grass will always be green like this.

This was taken after the rain…and some rainwater are collected on the grass and the ‘petals’ that has fallen as well…

Tallest…

This is the tallest building in Singapore…it is called UOB building in Raffles Place:) I was there to the Change Alley and The Arcade and happened to pass by. Tomorrow you’ll see the Raffles Place MRT station, the closest ”european architecture” we have in Singapore:)

Southernmost tip of Asia

Being a suntanning craze, my frequent suntanning spot is Sentosa. There are three beaches, Siloso, KM8, Palawan Beach. Normally after the tann, my suntan-buddy and I would take the TRAM around the island and at one point which is where you will see here on this photo, the SOUTHERNMOST tip of ASIA:)

This is my favourite Indian food called ”Nasi Briyani”. I dun really eat a lot of red meat. But this mutton curry is so delicious that even now while typing out its description makes me ‘salivate’:p hmmm…..

The stall is always in long queues (Long queue= means lots of demands); despite the price is S$5, lots of people still dun mind it becos they have really prepared the whole set meal really well. You can try it at Northpoint Mall, Basement 2, stall name ”Shami Banana Leaf Delights”

Ice Kachang

20061110_ice_kachang.jpgI post this because the colours resembles much like the coming Christmas season. Everywhere is in the midst of preparation for xmas, such as all decorations in green and red. Instead of putting up a christmas tree photo, I wanna introduce this very cooling dessert which is much favoured in Singapore. Not just becos of our climate which is summer summer summer throughout the whole year:) we also love spicy food like curry, sambal, chili crab etc

So you can imagine, this coloured ice scrappings that formed like a ‘mountain’ and underneath are red beans, atap seeds (the soft ones are really delicious;)), some jelly cubes in pink, green stripes and they also added ‘durian’ these days:)

I was told that in the 60s, this dessert is held in the hands and it is shaped like a ball:) Lots of children and adults both love it. But due to hygiene reasons, this way of eating ice-kachang is seldom seen. What kind of desserts do you like in your city?

Do you like to eat Sushi?

We went to Sakae Sushi at Wheelock Place. It’s something like our final dinner gathering for this year 2006. I like this round spherical shape interior lamp. The queue was super-long as usual but as we dun mind the counter seats and compromising to that we get to ‘cut queue’;) 

At the counter seats, you’ll face these conveyor belts, ‘conveying’ all these colourful plates of sushi, maki, nigiri, makimono ….and ohh, sometimes sashimi:)

Yesterday’s quiz answer is related to today’s. Thank you all for participating:) most of your answers are really imaginative;D

Ta-daaa……..

Here’s the answer

How about a new angle?

Ohh..worry not. Our kind of dwellings are not tilted at such an angle :p

It would be interesting if everyone lives in such a TILTED block of flats. Hee hee, one would climb the stairs but would seemed to be jus walking across a short distance. But hey, then wouldn’t the furnitures need to be sealed tightly to the floors:)?
