Highlights of the National University of Singapore's (NUS) Open House (:
Cheam's acoustic set... the main motivation for us being at the Open House to begin with.
Photo with the university mascot--Linus the Lion. I kid you not!
The school brought in a food bazaar to entertain the parents and freshies! Presenting... the uber-sinful Ramly burger! Of course, nothing beats the real thing across the causeway.
Kebab... reminds me of UK. Sigh. This version came in a puny pita wrap--nothing like the ones you get for 5pounds along the streets of London.
Chicken curry and prata! (:
Cheam, Desiree and I with our precious Ramly burgers! We were starving after sitting through 1.5 hours of Cheam's music! Was worth the wait!

Spottiswoode Park, Singapore
If I'm not wrong, this railway line's owned by KTM, and is the property of Malaysia. Not sure if they're going to re-route this, since the railway station at Spottiswoode's going to be relocated at Woodlands. Hmm...
Found it really peculiar that there was a makeshift Hindu temple amongst the trees and beside the railway track. Wonder how long it's been situated at that spot already.
What's left of our colonial past... shophouses and chi-chi teahouses and eateries.
The back-end of the shophouses... pretty dingy.
Welcoming, much?
Our high-rise Housing Development Board (HDB) flats! I think this flat is about 15-16 story high. Not too sure.
Singapore's got to love its casino.
Just a few simple dishes--nothing pretentious. Stir-fried veggies and my Grandma's specialty of Black sauce potatoes with meat!
Dinner at Burger King with Talib. What a contrast to my homecooked meal.
With the encouragement of Sabine, I've decided to include posts about Singapore in this little travel blog of mine! Took these photos en-route to my Grandma's for dinner a few days ago. I would think most residential areas in Singapore have taken on more modern architecture and design, and Spottiswoode Park is perhaps one of the more rustic few left. Where I live, you'd kill to have the view of an abandoned railway track out your window. I'm surrounded by concrete shopping malls and sky-high prices for your basic commodities.
It's always nice to be able to take a breather after a chaotic day at school, and pause to admire the setting of the sun...
