Singapore Getaway

Merlion!

I was in Singapore for a weekend in May 2007 (yeah this is a very very belated post!), which for me was very enjoyable. I don't think I wanna share all the details here since it was three months ago, but here were the highlights of the weekend in Singapore:

- Visited the Urban Redevelopment Authority City Gallery (yes I am a simcity freak, so I love all these city planning stuffs. And they have many built-up models of Singapore!)
- Walked along the river at night from Clarke Quay to the Merlion
- Window-shopped on Orchard Road, and purchased a Paul&Joe t-shirt and The Sound of Milano Fashion.
- Sightseeing around Esplanade, Supreme Hall and Raffles Hotel.
- Listened to live jazz performance at Jazz@SouthBridge.
- Rode the Double-Decked bus from City Hall to VivoCity.

Hmmm all these memories make me so excited for my coming Christmas Shopping Spree with my best friends in December!

Atilia's Sangkar

I recently discovered Atilia's website through TheYogaInstructor's blog. I have heard of Atilia a few months back, but haven't really tried to listen to her music. She is the daughter of Salamiah Hassan, the singer that is very very famous for singing almost all the commercials in Malaysia during the 80s and 90s! I guess everyone would know and recognize that voice huh?

Anyway, I think the songs in Atilia's debut album, Sangkar is so damn good! I especially love the single Sangkar, which is very smooth and such a good song to listen to after a hard day at work. Have yet to listen to the whole album, but from the review that I read it is highly recommended. Can't wait to look and buy it soon!
