f1

while fernando alonso raced 61 laps tirelessly around the singapore street circuit in a historic night race to an unexpected win tonight, eric also raced and won first prize at maxxium singapore x-tour 2008.

check out the evidence here. :)

sean

little sean dropped by today with my aunt. he was very attached to my aunt and clung to her stubbornly, crying loudly whenever she put him down.

it took a long while for him to be warmed up. he knows and is able to say many words for a toddler 1 month shy of 2 years old.

f1 coming

saw this fully lighted up today at marina square.

if you've been in town for the past few months, you would have noticed lighting railings sprouting up along the route of the upcoming f1 night race coming up in about 2 weeks' time.

while the structures seem out-of-place and do not blend in with the surroundings, they do serve their purpose in filling the road with a brightness that's blindingly unreal.

ah chew's

don't think i've written about ah chew's desserts at liang seah street. was introduced to this traditional chinese desserts shop by doris and eric.

it has since expanded from 1 shop unit to 2, making it easier to get a table. although peak hours should still be avoided. grab a table, decide what you want and order at the cashier.

i usually stick to the traditional ones like almond paste, black sesame paste and steamed egg with milk and ginger juice. it's cheap and good!

do drop by if you're around bugis junction. :)

water fun

saw the little girls having fun outside suntec city last night. they seem to be enjoying it tremendously.

i felt a bit sea-sick looking at them playing. :P haha...

oriental cadence 2008

yup, it's another year and time for ky to perform at jubilee hall with his choir. trust him to perservere in attending weekly practices all these years despite his work.

this year, ts and i were there to lend him our support.

i feel that the performance this year is more engaging and accessible to non-arty farty types like me. the items seems to be more lively.

the japanese bamboo flute [shakuhachi] accompanying the japanese harp [koto] provided a more layered sound playing off each other, making it more interesting than having the koto alone.

ky is standing in front this year... maybe he thinks that the choir performance is better this time round hence no need to hide in the back row like last year's. :P

the hainan hwee kuan's harmonica orchestra included some japanese pieces in tune with the rest of the programming.

as usual, the japanese association's ladies choir gave the most polished performance. there were 3 members who even flew back just for today's concert. talk about having passion for the arts!

check out the pictures here and a snippet of ky's performance here.

back to life

my digital camera is back to life! :)

it's back from panasonic and my sis is $180 poorer for it. the lcd unit was replaced and the damaged unit was even returned.

check out the expensive crack line. hehe...

no fox

of all days that i choose to visit the fox boutique at imm, i decided to reach there after 5:00 pm today when they're closed for a company event.

arrgghh...
