Another Day at Orchard

I suppose this is a very precious photo, because no photo is allowed at this food court. I was stopped by one of the waiters from a Jap food stall, "No video no camera! No video no camera!" He ran shouting from behind. I turned back, puzzled. Aduh, his stall is not even within my eyesight. I don't understand why there are so many restricted areas here. Next thing, the food. We ordered Lotus Rice from the menu, "Sorry we don't have this today, not today." Then we ordered Xiao Long Bao,"Sorry, not today." What is so special about today?! ... And think there's nothing much to comment then..

There's this gigantic legs in the shopping mall, that actually belongs to someone - a very tall person! Interesting!

Very long escalators zig-zag 7 storey high.

Mandarin Gallery, yet to explore.

Kopitiam Square @ Sengkang

(Thx to Biow, the photographer!)

The Kopitiam Square that opened 2 days before Christmas is located right next to the Compass Point @ Sengkang. It has a food court and a wet market with car park facility on the roof top. FYI, the parking fee has to be paid by Kopitiam Card. I'm not sure what will happen if you do not have a card to tap at the exit.

We went last night, it's quite big with a wide variety of food, but it's quite warm in there even with lotsa fans installed. Nonetheless, it's still a good news to the residents here, can have more choices, and can cross over to Compass Point for a walk after the meal!

IRIS OST - The Ending

Read on only if you wish to know the ending.

The NSS had successfully stopped the secret organisation IRIS from launching the nuclear weapon, and protected both the presidents of North & South Korea from the assassination.

Kim Hyun Joon decided to quit his job and live happily ever after with Choi Seung Hee, but on his way to the proposal, he was shot in the head and died. In the last episode, Vick (T.O.P in Big Bang) died, Jin Sa Woo died, don't quite understand why they made Kim Hyun Joon die too in the last 2 mins of the show. No wonder most reviews say the last episode ruined their day. I've already read about the ending before I watched, or else I'll be quite shock to see him shot too.

Unsolved mystery : Who's behind IRIS? Who's Mr Black? Who killed Kim Hyun Joon?

People are speculating that there will be Season 2... not that looking forward as the main leads are all dead. Don't tell me Baek San take the lead then I'm not gonna watch! Or maybe Kim Hyun Joon comes back to life like what Jack Bauer always did?!

Who Can Interpret My Dream?

I had a dream that is so weird.

I was looking for food in the kitchen, didn't know whose, doesn't looked like mine, anyway I found some cookies, biscuits and chocolate and they were very nice! Suddenly, a woman I didn't know asked me to pack up my stuffs for immediate departure to Australia. Everyone around me dare not speak up, I saw fear in their eyes and it seemed like if they speak they would have to die. I'm not going until I get the answer, I went up to her again and she screamed back,"Just do as I said!" In my heart I think, "Seow liao, 造反啊!!"

The next thing I knew, I was walking on the street in a dress and a pair of (both side unidentical) socks. Exactly the pair I put on to sleep. The socks kept sticking to the snow on the ground as I walked and I almost wanted to remove them.

I ran 2 blocks down and I remembered, or rather I assumed a friend staying nearby on the 8th floor but I couldn't recall which block, actually I didn't even remember the whole place. I starting counting the floors from the void deck, and checking out the clothing to see if I could identify them. Unfortunately the sky got dark and my eyesight got poor under the dimmed light.

Next thing I knew, I was in the middle of the crowd at a road junction, everyone around me spoke Korean. Then I walked into an alley, I saw a signboard above my head that said "Enter At Your Own Risk", and I realized a construction going on above my head, I ran too fast not in time to brake, so instead of turning back, I dash towards the exit at the other end in full speed, but it got narrower and narrower, I was stucked and it was pitch black.

Suddenly the sun rose and I saw colorful rays of light like rainbow, I even saw fairytale liked butterflies, they were almost transparent and glowing, so beautiful! Suddenly all the colors were sucked into some where, I saw my foster parents sitting by the bedside with a musical box in their hands. Am I in New Zealand now? I haven't hear from them for 10 years! They were not surprised to see me, they even asked me to go to bed earlier.

I waited till they fell asleep and I opened the musical box. There was nothing in the box, but I saw a shadow on the wall. From the glossy laminating on one side of the wall, I saw it's reflection. It stretched out it's hand, so I stretched out mine too, to shake it's hand. And I realized that it's right hand appeared to be left hand in the reflection, so I changed to left hand. Then I asked, "Does God and Spirit exist?" I heard no reply, perhaps sound couldn't transmit through the reflection. Then my foster parents woke up and asked,"Who are you talking to?"

And I woke up from the dream.

The first thing I did, I stand in front of the mirror trying to shake hand with the reflection, it's true that u have to use your left hand to shake a right hand that's a reflection. How strange that logic appeared in my dream where everything else doesn't seems to make sense.

The Sweet & Sorrow of 2009

I've been trying to sum up the whole of year 2009 since this morning but have no idea how to write. I saw people summing up with fulfillment and achievement, even not so.. they are also able to express every bits of their feeling from the heart.

Anyway, I just want people to feel happy reading my blog, though some may have noticed the change in trend, I hardly write nowadays, mostly let the photos do the talking. keke.. lazy..

I do not wish to look back, whatever the sweet and sorrow is, goodbye 2009.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year, Happy 2010 - a better year ahead!
