I was wondering around the neighbourhood one day and notice this installation art piece. Wonder why there's mentioning of it in the local papers or atleast some helpful information on it's very existence...

This picture was actually pasted on the floor, more like floor art? The theme I guessed it's about neighbour-liness...as you know, we lived in close proximity of each other in our tiny flats and there are times when conflicts/misunderstandings can arise for such closeness. Guess that's what the writer is trying to say here.

If you're a tourist to my sunny island state and would like to know more about 'the other' side of squeeky clean Singapore, Sungei Road is the place you MUST visit. This place used to be filled with activities back in the 50's. It's 'famous' for it's weekend flea market. Over here, you can find lots of nick-nacks, oddities and sometimes antiques. Best of all, if you happened to have your suitcase or expensive Prada shoes stolen, most likely you'll find them here. Yes. Sungei Road. This place used to known as "thief's market". Guess the moniker tells alot about it's 'background'..
Lost your bike? Come down to Sungei Road and you'll mostly probably find it! If you're unlucky, the bike would have been stripped down to parts and sold off...

You can find lots of interesting stuff during the weekends. It's open everyday and Sunday's the most packed.

It's been a while since I last saw a rainbow appearing in the sky. That was until 27th Feb 2009. What a wonderful sight to behold! I was having my dinner at around 6pm and suddenly there was a buzz around the coffee shop. Someone excitedly mentioned that a rainbow had appeared in the sky. I looked up, what a sight!

What is so interesting about this place, you might ask? Well, for starters, on this exact spot, holds an interesting and chilling folk lore behind it. Many people doesn't know about it, but many years ago, on this exact spot, there is an old tree which was used for worshipping purposes. The tree is being tied with a large yellow cloth and there is an alter at the foot of the old tree. Before the shopping mall was developed, there's some old buildings where it now stood over. Legend or that's how the newspaper reported it, when some contractors were asked to remove the old tree for development of this place, the tractors will not operate. Worse, someone actually died trying to cut down the tree with a chain saw. Many priest were sent to offer prayers and finally, the tree was cut down. I can't really verify these 'stories' but, as you can see from the picture, the bald spot, without any grass, is the exact spot where the tree once stood.

And because of the tree, the construction of the building had a weird disconnection between the foyer. It's not the design, I remind you. I've seen the tree and the construction before.
