INDULGE

I am not into sweets much like ice cream, cakes, chocolates and candies.  Sweets i think got no appeal for me in the aspect of taste as i may say.  I admit though i always get attracted by their colorful presentations like wrappers, boxes and tins. I may not into it but then that doesn't mean i don't eat or get to taste them.  

Just to give my stressful day some twist i decided to stop by and got some of these...

I had for myself Choc Hazelnut and Blood Orange flavors! They're not too sweet for me (well, as for the flavors i have chosen). I had a great time with it melting on my tongue. Helped me destress a little. It's like an "ok-give-me-a-break" time moment.

COLORFUL WINDOWS

This old police station (now known as Ministry of Information, Communication and the Arts, Singapore) at the corner of Hill st. and Rivervalley road is a nice building architecture as well. MICA building is an eye-catcher with its different color windows.

I was able to get a nicer angle of this building (well maybe next time i will) for i was just passing by this place to catch a ride on the way back to the office.

STAMFORD HOUSE

This historic building at the corner of junction of Stamford road and Hill Street fascinates me. Originally know as Oranje Building, the Stamford House currently houses a shopping mall.

I love it's romantic architectural style.  The details on the designs and mouldings were very popular during the Victorian period. Looking at this building feels like you are time traveling to earlier time of the Renaissance era. 

THE SKYLINE

Question: Why they call it building when it's already built? (lol!)

I love looking at building architectures like this one on Fraser St., Parkview Square.  It's color and structure is like one of the buildings in Europe and NYC. From Nicoll Highway you can see it standing like in between of the Gateway buildings (i will have my shots of those buildings too!).

I went quickly to Marina Baby just to take pictures of the skyline and to try also my cam at night settings. The sky is awesome.  I've seen some people just seated there staring at the water, some stargazing, and some just simply breathing.

I left the house at 10pm and went back midnight.  Well, i wanted to stay longer but buses and trains only available 'til 11pm.  I decided to go home by midnight and since i got trauma with riding taxi here, i was praying on my way home to keep me safe. 

MY MORNING SKY

EAST COAST PARK, SINGAPORE

@ MARINA BAY

After a long time finally i was able to post here yayy! I've been very busy with work as always. Then just recently i got one of my dream cam! Time isn't always in favor of me. Got the cam but not much time to really use it on field. Sigh! But all the time i'm making sure i carry it with me so whenever i can use it with it's ready. I was able to take some shots i want to share with you. Shots are kind of representations of what i've encountered or where i've been for the day.

I got off the bus to Orchard one morning. I alighted at Esplanade. I told myself to give Marina a quick visit and have some shots from there. Sun rises in that side of the flyer. It's a bright sunny morning for Singapore.

That thing like lighthouse there will keep the fire burning

while the Youth Olympic Game is being held here.

This is my recent shot of how the Marina Sands IR looks like now. In my next post i will show you a better angle of these buildings.

The Merlion at One Fullerton.

One of the tourist attractions of Singapore.

A nice morning view of Marina Bay. I'm happy to have these shots taken.

ON FOOD TRIP: MY SPOT AT EAST COAST PARK

Whenever i am at East Coast Park, with my computer, i usually hang out at The Coffee Bean. Not because i am a fan of their coffee, but because i can use their electricity for free. Haha! My mac batt life sucks! I can't use it for a long time. Or maybe because i really use it for a really long time. Anyways, so i hang out here, ordered my sandwich,  salad and Snapple, and get busy with my fingers on the keyboard.

@NIGHT SAFARI

We got some guests for Christmas and so we need to tour them around. But just this morning at around 11am i had a vehicular accident. It happened after picking up my girl at the airport. It was raining and the taxi we were on was in lane 1 driving a little fast. The accident took place right after East Coast Park when a van went out of lane encircling the slippery road and blocking our lane. The impact was intense and we had difficulty breathing at that moment. I am still blessed as i may say because nothing major happened to us and of the driver. Front of the car was wrecked. It could have been worst if we were not able to see the van. It was the most unforgettable experience i wont forget. I used to like fast cars but after the incident i always feels shaky traveling in any public vehicles. Worst...i had minor/almost accidents after that riding taxis which made me not-to-take-taxi-if-i-can while in Singapore. In short words, i don't trust their taxi drivers!

Anyways, that night i still manage to joined then at Night Safari.

@the souvenir shop

Although the body ached terribly i managed to enjoy the night. It was the night before Christmas and a lot of people were there mostly families from other places. I had a long day so let's call this a night. Have a good night!

ON FOOD TRIP: SIZZLING SOFT TOFU & MUSHROOM

Sizzling soft tofu and mushroom with carrots, bell peppers and onions

On photo the second photo, fried tofu in Thai sweet-chili sauce, lobster balls with creamy sauce dip, fish fillets and butterfly prawns to share. We had these somewhere in Geylang before the shopping and Night Safari adventure that day.

ON FOOD TRIP: @ IKEA

IKEA! I love this place. Not just the furnies, linens and other home decors that made me love this place, it's also the food!

Stuffed salmon with chives medallions and baby carrots

Then after a full tummy we went back to the office. And since we arrived late already, no available slot to park the car on 7th floor. Good thing the rooftop is always available.

WEDDINGS ON THE BLOCK

I was having my morning walk with my cousin just along the neighborhood. Homeowners and tenants here can use the space in ground level of some blocks for their parties/events just like the wedding set-ups under two of the blocks.

Their motif purple and pink.

Photos taken below were from another block with maroon motif. I think this one got nicer decorations and set-up. From carpet, lighting, flower arrangements and table settings, you would not notice it to be just under a building and not from any function area of any hotels.
