City Hall-iday!


Spotted Ian Wright from Discovery Travel&Living getting ready to open an episode by jumping from a rubbish bin in Haji Lane.

I love the atmosphere of City Hall. Don't know why I can smell freedom there. Fiuh. It's always among the first areas to conquer right after school's over. How many areas in Singapore to go anyway hahahah.
Just walk through and feel the winds of civilization.

Keep walking girls, keep walking. Let's burn more calories.

There was a photography exhibition in Raffles City when we went there, this is my favorite, by Chow Chee Yong. The point of view put you in the middle of the stadium, do you think it's better when they're joined?

THEN. One of my favorite spots on the island : Esplanade! When I first came to Singapore this was the first landmark I wanted to see with my very own eyes, more than Merlion or Orchard Road. I tried visiting the venue as often as possible since then - just to breath its artistic air.

Then whoa! Look at this piece by Khalil Chishtee from Pakistan.
Those are plastic bags!

Synopsis from Esplanade.com :
Khalil Chishtee‘s current sculptural work mimes the ubiquitous plastic rubbish bag in the unlikeliest ways. Using this robust yet slight material, he has created a series of ethereal figures suspended, almost floating in their exhibition space, yet formed with sculptural precision and great attention to detail.
Light and fluid though they may look, his creations are intense, evoking the viewer’s physical and emotional vulnerability with a piercing sensibility of human suffering. The quotidian media, which references our connections with the world around us, also brings to mind the everyday nature of this suffering.

Then as usual, night walking to Clarke Quay to kill time.

And to burn more calories.
