Had to go to the VISA office to get my transit VISA for India done, and since the office was near East, decided to travel to Brewerkz by the National Stadium to grab a drink, and enjoy the view by the Kallang river. But what do you know? the outlet was closed in the afternoon and only open for the evenings, and it was certainly a disappointment. Have already been on the downside for the past couple of days, and this could only make it worst, so went over the bridge by the Kallang river and stood there in the drizzle for a good 20 minutes. Helped clear my head.
First things, I don't have much friends still surviving in Singapore, or ppl I keep in touch with, let alone Secondary School, or Junior college ones. But there are some I make it a point to always meet up with whenever I am in Singapore. And these are the friends I caught up yesterday with. First it was a simply Singaporean lunch at a hawker centre by Thomson Road, and then a visit to the AVA pet ownership roadshow, and a mad hunt for 'The Paranormal' movie tickets which we never found till the end.
The Singapore Botanic Gardens never fails to bore me, no matter how many times I visit this huge 63.7 hectare garden which is smacked right in the middle of the city area. Visited the area yesterday with Twitter friend @dilipm
The first "Botanical and Experimental Garden" in Singapore was established in 1822 on Government Hill at Fort Canning by Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of modern Singapore and a keen naturalist.
It was not until 30 years later that the present Singapore Botanic Gardens began in 1859, when the Agri Horticultural Society was granted 32 hectares of land in Tanglin by the colonial government.
These purple leaved plants were found by the side of the SunDial garden.
Cavenagh Bridge is currently a pedestrian bridge, with lighting added in the 1990s to accentuate its architectural features at nightfall.
It now provides the most convenient pedestrian link between the cultural district at the north bank and the commercial district to the south of the Singapore River, and complements the renovated Fullerton Hotel which is sited beside the bridge.
The bridge is not actualyl lit by a 'purple' light, but rather 'red', 'green', 'blue' individual lights which form this purplish hue.
Captured this while on a river side walk with @dilipm from twitter and my sister Vini.
Vini gets arty farty sometimes and this is her latest gift to mum and
dad. Shredding magazines and putting torn stuff to good use is always
fun.
A neon lighted stairway leading to 'The Central' shopping mall at Clarke Quay, and a dog looks interested.
Blue has always been my favourite colour, but as of recent times, as I get more in touch with my feminine side, purple hues have joined the list. I think purples and blues blend in a lovely way, and so they shall plan on my posterous.
I start my first post with these blue neon lights. y disecting the eyeball of a dog, researchers found that about 10% of the photoprecepters are cones. Cones are responsible for helping the brain detect colors. The photoreceptors in our eyes are 100% cones. This means that we can process all the colors and see them more vividly.
A dog can't tell the difference between red, yellow, orange, or green but they can see whites, light blues, purples and different shades of grey. So i can be sure that my pixels are dog friendly.
Stay tuned for a daily purple, blue update.
