of snapshots
a mishmash of vignettes from wonderful city i've grown to love....
anyway reflecting back on my home city of Singapore, one usually faces the questions posed by others or even oneself of which city i prefer.....which really isn't the point. The fundamental point being to make the best of the current situation, which is in my personal opinion the best way to have fun wherever you are.
That said Singapore is just as equally fun a city as Melbourne, just that it takes abit more effort to enjoy it (weather and navigation-wise...small problems really). Singapore in case many of you have forgotten has full of surprises and ain't the boring straight laced city the west often portrays us to be. Neither is my motherland the mainstream boring food garden zouked haji sentosa commerce hub overdosed city Uniquely Singapore often wants everyone to believe it is. Anyway all this lyrical is meant as a promo for my bruddars and sistas back home busy organising the Architours. Architours is back for the 2nd time showing people the gems of architecture you never though Singapore had. Run by students and made accessible to everyone, this years architours have been organised to provide solid line up of buildings and sites to visit around Singapore, expect a fun, casual yet informative walk while learn and appreciate what living in a unique city like Singapore really means (it IS UNIQUE and not in a tourism commercial ad kinda way)
so go visit the archifest architours website
