Wind Surfing & Cable Skiing

Went wind surfing and cable skiing at ECP today. Wind surfing was fun! Too bad there wasn't much wind that day, else it will be more fun.

'

After that we went for cable skiing. I don't like it; may be is because I didn't manage to travel for more than 100m. Always fall near the starting! haha.. It is very tired to swim back to the shore. I stopped playing after a few attempt; I am too tired(feeling old).


ECP hawker center nice food but a little bit expensive.

Singapore Design Festival 2007

Finally I am back. NUS SUCKS, nearly got me killed. LOL

Went to Singapore Design Festival 2007 at the old supreme court. This is my first time heard of this festival. Paid 3 dollars, got a nice goodie bag with a real cool design on it. Love it!

this room is full of hanging paper punching bag. a bit scary tho

this is utterrubbish collection. key concept is use rubbish as base material and recyclable material


I like the cut glass. I find it elegant. It is a vase from your daily wine bottle (supposedly).


I want to get one of that sofa!!! It is so cool





After that i went to the temple near Tanjong Pagar. Personally i don't like this temple at all. It gives me the feeling that all they care about is money, not Buddha.

Singapore Art Fest 2007

Sorry for lazy to post... hehe... here is something that i did during Singapore art fest 2007.

Watched The Map & Paper Concerto by Tan Dun.
I love the Paper Concerto but not The Map.


Caught this performance outside the hall right after The Map & paper Concerto.
They are Noridan from Korean. Energetic and passionate! LOVE IT!!







Watched this, Sinfonia Eroica weeks later. I don't really catch the story but they danced gracefully.


Found this award winning design piece @ national museum.

Discovery Singapore : Mind Cafe

Went to mind cafe on the last day of 2006.

visit the website as shown


we are playing "travel around the world in 80 days".
It is fun!

Discovery Singapore : Haji Lane

Have you ever been to Haji Lane lately? This is my second time here and it surprise me. In the lane, there are no longer only old fashioned and historical bulding. New, young and artistic elements are slowly replacing the dying business here. Buildings are repainted and renovated in their own unique style/personality. Young people (perhaps mostly are artists/designers) are spreading their roots here.

Guess! Is this a studio or a lounge? Well... it is a boutique!

The automatic door it just next to the sign "3". Here I save the comments on the fine pieces they are offering. I am not really a fashion guy. I don't think it is just an ordinary piece of fabric.
Because I asked for a piece that will cost me....130? I wonder if the owner is a cantonese, the number "3" has the same pronunciaiton with the word "cloth".

Another voguish boutique.

Besides boutique there is a place to chill out. It is place where you can have movies and drinks in an aesthetic ambiance! PITCH BLACK. On the second storey, is a mini cinema loaded with the latest blu-ray™ technology (blu-ray™?).
For more information, please visit the official web-site: www.pitchblack.com.sg

Cafe @ ground floor

Can't get a ticket during the weekend? No worry....
Pitch Black is here.

taadaa... Movies of the day!

I foresee this place will become another hotspot for the young! Let's support them, support us! (I am young too)

Discovery Singapore : Arab St

I found some interesting places around Arab st. First of all, an antique shop near the mosque. It filled with lots and lots of old toys, special edition of coca-cola, media devices, sign board, etc. The decoration of the shop is cosy and unique. You can feel the passion and enthusiasm of the owner.

I like this cash register! It costs 350.

All sort of toys

This Coca-Cola Collection is amazing

There is a mini cafe at the back of the shop. The shop keeper show me the menu and allow me to take a photo on his very old vespa. He told me that they do arrange for mini party at the cafe for FOC! I definately don't mind to have a drinking session in here. The ambiance is supreb.

Lastly, the shop named "Ah gong shop", what a nice name. Tired of conventional shopping centre? This place definately worth a visit!
