Random Places I have been - Lasalle College of the Arts

Recently, I was having dinner at a restaurant near Princep Streets when I took the opportunity to visit Lasalle College of the Arts.

I have always wanted to visit this building as the building itself seem to be an work of art. I am not disappointed. When I stepped into the College, it seems like a giant gallery towering over me. Staring at me are all the tutorial rooms, exhibition rooms or labs full length windows. From the ground floor, it seems that every rooms contain some art pieces that are being prepared to be presented to the world. It seems that every rooms have in store some surprises for every visitors as long as you want to come in.

As a stranger to the building, I find the walkways, stairways and art gallery corridors both fun and intricating..it is like what can I expect to find at the next turn?

This is definitely a nice place to go. If anyone reading this blog has accessed to the depths of Lasalle, please bring me along. Now I will just put it under random places of interest. Hopefully, I can upgrade it to be part of educational tour soon!

This location will be classified...for now at least under Random places I have been...it will be upgraded soon, so keep a look out at this page!

Places I Have been - Durian Tour

Singaporeans love their durians. I am quite confident the majority of Singaporeans have purchased and eaten durians before. However, a recent quick enquiry on a coach during one of the night tours have shown that most have not enjoyed eating durian at the durian store directly.

Below, I have posted some photos of the joy we have had during our feasting of durians at one of the stalls along Sim ave. In the photos below, we are at Chin Yong Fruits Trading - Durian King. A little tibits, the boss has retired and has handled over the stall to his daughter who is about the same age as me!

What are the joys/advantages of eating at the stall directly? 

1) You got unlimited durians and many many varieties of them to boot.
2) These durians are not light and are a chore to carry back home (how many can you carry anyway).
3) If you are using public transport, you will be banned as the smell is repulsive to some.
4) You do not need to clean up the durian shells after eating.
5) If the fruits you purchased at bad, you can immediately asked for a change.
6) It is a great joy to see so many people (strangers or otherwise) enjoying their durians and observe the Geylang traffic crawling in front of you!

Random Places I have been:- NDP Review fire work display from Marina Bay Sands swimming pool

By a stroke of blind luck, I have stayed at Marina Bay Sand on 31 July which happened to be Singapore National Day review. By another stroke of good luck, Singapore Minister Mentor also visited the Sky Garden at the same time. I was confused by the sudden camera flashes directed in my direction until I notice Minister Mentor Mr Lee Kuan Yew standing right beside me, surrounded by guards of cos.

Since I find this interesting and fun, I will just post it under random places of interest as the pool is normally exclusive to hotel guests only.

At the same time, I will post some photos of the inside of MBS. This gives you guys a chance to look how it really looks like...not some nice marketing photoshoot by MBS.
