Went out with the other twin yesterday, visited Ann Siang Hill and the Marang Trail at the Southern Ridges.
No pictures, I didn't bring my camera along for this one. It'd be nothing compared to his DSLR, he was snapping away. Ann Siang Hill, just off Tanjong Pagar's Amoy Street food centre, was some artsy street with boutique outlets here and there. Was looking out for BooksActually, and came across some other shop, Woods in the Books. All ready botique-ish, fancy and of course, expensive.
Some robot that Cheryl bought at
Mint Museum of Toys for $12 or 15 was $22 there, didn't feel like buying anything else after comparing Cavallini & Co. They've got really nice products, but they all retail at high prices ):
Marang Trail was off Harbourfront MRT, and all the teens heading to Sentosa en route were kinda intoxicating. Felt like flaming the lot of them. I hate Sentosa for some reason.
If Joseph's not gonna be uploading the photos, I will. Hmm. Gonna ask him now.
There we go.
the burnt tip of a fan blade. We went into this abandoned house at the back alley of Ann Siang Hill. Kinda cool, these places are unique since you get so few of them in Singapore. Broad daylight, but the place was still kinda creepy. There was feacal matter all over this room, its like someone came here and had a dumping party. All in various stages of decay.
cracked, rusted, creaky.
SEE, that dude could've taken a dump in here not the living room of that house. Dumb hobo.
Wonder what this was here for, didn't look like it was gonna undergo renovation anytime soon.
the rooftop. had quite a view, but in the afternoon sun,w as nothing spectacular.
I wouldn't trust me feet on that, rusty old ladder.
Heh, wonder how that even started growing. But made a really nice photo, would've been better close up.
up to the second part of the roof. Gonna have dinner there someday, heh was thinking of packing some food from nearby and eating up there, sunset over the CBD.
Ann Siang Hill, with these rich looking people all about, ang mohs here and there, made me feel outta place. Joseph said it looked like some pseudo artsy fartsy place, kinda agree with him on
hindsight.
Some structure of some Marine restaurant thingy. Looked so dilapidated, wonder when was the last time someone patronized this restaurant.
So I went around to the back to see if I could climb in. With the proper shoes I could, somewhere with those air-conditioning condensers to give a base, but ah I didn't wanna dirty my Von Dutch's. Gotta send it for cleaning already.
It was humid in there man. Just wanted to get out. And we really needed some exercise, heh. Just some 'hiking' and we were tired already. I was dying for some air-conditioning. Dang NS.
So this is the last of em, some construction works on the way to Vivocity to get my air-con fix and head home. Interesting trip, would've been better had I been more prepared with a bottle. And the other pair o' shoes.
Nothing on for new year, I'm gonna be home. Cheers to y'all out there :D
