My World Tuesday-Bugis Street Shopping

Sick of shopping in those big malls? Try shopping in Singapore Largest Street Shopping Paradise in Bugis Street.

Bugis Street was previously well knowned internationally for its nightly gathering of transvestite beauties who paraded its sidewalks.Today, the original Bugis Street is now a shopping street. On the other hand, the lane presently known as "Bugis Street" is called "the largest street-shopping location in Singapore".

Over here you can find good bargains and if they are not fixed price, you could actually bargain about 20% discount unless it is your lucky day you could actually get 30% discount, that's what J and I found out...lol.

It is no longer so stuffy shopping in here cause they have renovated the place with higher ceilings and huge fans.

There are many stalls selling food and snacks.

Now this is cute. That is a jackfruit and it is decorated with a wig and tomatoes for eyes and a carrot for its nose and banana for its mouth...lol


It belongs to this fruit juice stall. Oh I love watermelon juice.

Another beautifully decorated tour bus. You can guess it that it promoting the BirdPark Attraction on the bus.

Geez, been a long time since I visited the Bird Park, I think I got to visit it but is so far west of Singapore. I guess I have to wait for my nieces/nephews next school holiday. It would be more fun to go in a group.

Pink Saturday-Bus

My contribution for Pink Saturday are buses with pink features in them.

I noticed the new buses over here, have very pretty pink railings in them. Most of our buses are air conditioned and fitted with a mobile TV. No eating and drinking allowed in the public transports to keep them clean. The old buses always ended having cockroaches cause inconsiderate people eat and drink in the buses.

Oh I like these open top buses. Did you spot the pink bus in the photo below? This was taken at Bras Basah Road.

These open top buses are known as Hippo Bus and they are mainly for tourists.

Each Hippo tour lasts approximately 60 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. The Hop-On Hop-off system allows tourists to tour at their own leisure pace. Spot an interesting place or sight and simply inform the captain or HiPPOtainer. Hop off and walk around at your on pace and tourists can always continue the tour later by hopping onto the next HiPPO bus.

You can get more information and the prices for the hippo bus in their official website.

Skywatch Friday

I was visiting a friend's home when I saw this beautiful sight outside her window. So I quickly snap this shot with my camera.

At first glance, I thought the sun was behind the cloud and the rays emerging from behind the clouds but if you look at the second photo, it is sunset and the sun is further away from the cloud so the "rays" behind the clouds are just line or clouds formation that looked like the sun's rays. I thought it looked amazing.

My World Tuesday-Registry of Marriage

This is the Registry of Marriages for all races except muslim. Muslim will be in another hall (see below photo).

The two parties come to the Registry of Marriage register for a date.

They will then be put to a petition for any objections for 30 days (21 days minimum) and to wed before 3 months.

I love this miniature bear couple sitting in a miniature sofa....so cute.

This is the registry only for muslim marriages.

Muslim marriages are solemnised and administered by the Registry of Muslim Marriages.

Lucky me, manage to take this photo of a muslim wedding couple and their families.
