Preparing for National Day 2010 - NDP Rehearsal on 19th June 2010

I saw these soldiers preparing to close part of the road in preparing for the NDP 2010 rehearsal for tonight.

Soldiers getting ready to fire these canons when the President arrived. For this rehearsal, the president wont be coming, someone will pretend to be the president.

Contingents/Performers marching to get ready for the show.

A short video showing part of the road closed for the rehearsal.

I did not stay to watch cause I was very tired. I just came from another venue, will tell you more about where I went in later posts with new photos.

Skywatch Friday - View from the plane

I took these photos last month when I took a plane to Vietnam. The plane just left Singapore and I spotted something from the window. It's a cloud formation that looked like an elephant or dinosaur.

Close up view of the cloud formation. I wonder if you see what I see.

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back from the PC show, almost bought the desktop computer for myself but because the price agreed earlier to me was withdrawn, just because I went one floor down to compare prices ...lol.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.
