My World Tuesday - Old Buildings

Singapore is known as a clean and green city. But we still have certain corners of the streets that looked so dirty.

Some of these shophouses are empty and no they are not abandoned. I guess some new tenants are moving in soon, as I saw some renovation works at the front of the shophouses. Each shophouses are worth more than a million dollars.

Wonder why the landlord did not take good care of their backlane.

When I was young, I used to be fascinated by the spiral staircases.
Just opposite from those dirty shophouses are also some shophouses cum staying quarters. They are much cleaner and well maintained.

Suntec City - Fountain of Wealth

This is the biggest fountain in the world and it is located in Suntec City.
During certain times of the day, we can get to go in and walked round the smaller fountain in the centre. We should walked round three times in clockwise direction and touching the water for luck.

The fountain of wealth is a symbol of wealth and life.

A short video showing the fountain.

PC Show at Suntec City

The PC show is in its 20th year of holding the exhibition. Every year, it did not fail to attract buyers to their show. Almost every year, we bought something from PC Show. Last year, we got a laptop for eldest son.

I just came back from the PC show, almost bought the desktop computer for myself but because the price agreed earlier to me was withdrawn, just because I went one floor down to compare prices ...lol. The $50 discount is gone cause they have a window period. So I was so fed up and decided to go back tomorrow (being the last day of the show). It is not because of the $50 but it was because the sales guy did not mention about the window period that I was so fed up. I am very stubborn too and refuses to give in. I rather get a more expensive PC than give in to a lousy sales guy...tsk tsk.

Normally, the prices will slashed down further on the last day of the show. Hopefully, I get my PC...hahaha.

Products being sold at a good price at certain time of the day.

Kids crazy over a mascot.

Oh I did not go home empty handed, managed to get an external memory that my son needed.

Niece's 21st Birthday

It was my niece's 21st birthday. We had a small party by the pool under a not very shiny moonlight. Good thing the weather is good and it did not rain.

While sitting by the poolside, I looked up and saw the half moon and I used my camera to zoom on it. My siblings were surprised that the moon looked so big in my camera...lol. This is the first time they saw anyone taking photo of the moon...hahaha.

The youngsters did a good job decorating the place, really looked like a beach party. The put a lot of little candles around the place and also with some flowers. It was supposed to be a beach party and the teens were very sporting to wear bikinis ...hahaha.

The older folks however are not so sporting, we wear tee shirts and jeans...lol. For my son's 21st birthday, I think I will be a pirate or a witch hahahaha.

A very nice buffet spread.

My niece had a ferrari as her cake.

A day out to the movie

Brought my little niece to the movie. No prize for guessing which movie we watch.

Nowadays, our cinemas are not the stand alone building. They are located in malls and each cinema has a few cinemas halls in them and we can watch different movies in a day unlike in the past. Once I watch two different movies in a day, it was fun but tiring...lol.

Okay, I did not watch the 3D version cause I will get migraine if I watch 3D for too long.

Even before we watch the movie, we have to spend money on food....lol. Niece love the popcorn and I love the nachos.

Just outside the cinema, there's a shop which sells everything that's connected with the movies. I love the star wars characters.
