Botanic Gardens

My first wholesome breakfast in Singapore, breaking away from the rather conventional Polar chicken pies they dispense right outside Raffles MRT. Besides feeling like a pie - I am now an official victim of chain-stores consumerism asshole. An amphi-theatre smacked in the middle of a 'jungle' ~ with a jazz performance happening in during the nite time. Other than the possible blood donation drive with my dearest malaria friends, performances should be great with everyone getting a pretty good view of the theatre.
A man-made swamp for you...
Smacked on the other end of the Botanic Garden is the Halia Restaurant - supposedly serving you funky gingerfied dishes.
Water features isn't exactly the best thing around but hey, two thumbs up for preserving (or rather creating) something like this in a country where land is sparse.

TCC with an Art Gallery

Piece up a couple of random triangular cloth... and here you are... a so-called work of art ... or a blanket from the 60's like some of us would call it.
Looks like a relatively easy piece of art which is unfortunately going for SGD700.
And Shitttt! Coffee ain't cheap!

Al-Fresco dining near Esplanade

Met up with JinFay and CuiPing for some spastic good time.Smacked 2-storeys high, the view just can't get any better :) Although the sight of the office wasn't exactly appetising...

Back in Singapore for the Long Weekend!

Civilisation never felt that good. Muahaha. Yes, this picture... consequences of KahHee, JinFay and I engaging in a duty-free shoppin frenzy in the airport. Thank God our bags were still lying around...

Thank God for this sole survival kit in Brunei.I can now function way better minus the civilisation...

Derek is Sick!

So they say that I'm sick...

Ya rite!

The Empire Hotel

So... this is the 7-Star Hotel that everyone has been ranting about.
At least we didn't have to pay to get into the hotel like Al-Burj in Dubai. Pfft! Presidential Suite costs SGD 25,000 per nite... like WTF?!Now this is a sight you don't get to see that often... especially in Brunei.... yes... I said Brunei! I honestly need to learn how to stitch those panaromic pictures together, but here's the other half of it :P
The hotel's salt water swimming pool... now... that's something new! What were they thinkin'?

Car Supermarket

I thought that cars like these only exist in movies...
The Italian Job recreated...

Dinner @ Swensen's

When things get a lil too hectic, food therapy is always the best option... Just look at how happy JinFay is... hahaha.. I'm so gonna get shot for this~~

Our Crib for the next one month...

Because their occupancy rate is 'zero', we got a pretty sweet deal... at least it makes those late nites, working from home, a lil more comfortable ;)No complaints what so ever... way better compared to Centrepoint Hotel, which we were originally placed at.
Here's Bong's room, which came complete with a PC which we will never use anyways...
And here's mine... sharing with Kah Hee. The view outside the window... Brunei's water village~ ~

Bizarre Conversations: Part VII

We all knew that Han was a chic-magnet...

Destination Brunei

Arr hah! Finally gathered some time for a new post. This week has been a mad rush, last week was just hectic. That itself is an understatement. Today... destination Brunei on a non-existent Labour Day. The only consolation is that the engagement is gonna be pretty exciting and a month of breakaway from Raffles Place (and China Square foodcourt at least).
Adrenaline dropped right down to zero when I peeped out again, minutes before landing... AISEH! Where da fark are all the buildings?! I've been warned by Andrew anyways.
Nevertheless... I've got a great company tagging along on this trip. Will be fun! More updates soon!

OK... someone has gotta remind me that there's a jazz concert organised by the British HighCom next Tuesday & Wednesday at the Cesar Grand Hall. Dun sabo... I'm been deprived from Kakiseni affairs. *Sigh*
