Fort Canning Park - Part 1

This is Fort Canning Park. I just visited the entrance of the park, did not really venture right into it cause I was on another appointment and there were more than 10 people with me. They dont have the patience to accompany me into the park...lol.

The gate in gothic style lead the visitor into the park, where a Christian cemetery used to stand. Built in 1846, these gates have since become landmarks of Fort Canning Hill. Note the letters above both gates - IHS - standing for Iota Heta Sigm , the first three letters of the Greek word for Jesus. You can read more about it in here.

There are plenty of greenery around the entrance and more inside the park.

I love this huge bird nest fern.



Saw these white little flowers in the background they are Vinca Rosea. Their leaves are used as anti cancerous agent. Did not have the close up photo of the white flower (they did not turn out clear.)

More photos on the spice garden tomorrow.

Pink Saturday-Pink Bags

My contribution for pink saturday are these lovely bags that I got it free from my sister. She got so many free bags from the cosmetics shop that she used to patronize. I have more free bags from shopping sprees and friends too. :) And not forgetting free travel bags from travel agents when I go travelling, so I ended up giving away a lot of the travelling bags to my friends/relatives....lol. Some of the bags are very pretty and some are very useful while some are so small.

And these cute purse and pouches are from Japan, gifts from my sister from her holiday in Japan. Seems like I dont have to buy any handbags for a long time...lol.

For more pinky participants, please visit Beverly of How Sweet The Sound.

I love the shoes and bags only and no I did not purchase them cause I have lots of them at home...sigh...wish I could purchase them...lol

I will show you some of my bags in Pink Saturday. :)

Three malls in Tampines (Part 1)

Taking the train and alight at Tampines MRT Station, you can see three malls side by side. The train station is actually sandwiched between tampines mall, century square on one side and on the other side is the new mall known as Tampines 1.

Century Square (very old mall)

Tampines Mall

The new kid on the block - Tampines 1 - very crowded during weekend.

Despite the three malls being so close to each other, J (my best friend) and me could not find any nice clothings that we needed for dinner. I needed a nice dress for nephew's wedding in November (but on posting these photos, I already found my evening dress - will talked about it in later post... :)

Short video of what's going on in Tampines 1. A promotion by Shiseido - a make over. They do the hair and make up for you but I find it strange that the outfit the consumer wore dont match with the nice make up and hairdo. They should provide some nice clothings too.

J and me have intention of going for a make over before we have wrinkles all over our face...lol. Well, women are vain...hehehe

A promotion by a magazine which gives free gifts too. I dont buy these expensive magazines anymore cause I found that there are more advertisements then interesting articles in them. So I end up reading past issues of the magazines from library or my hair salon...hahaha.
