Singapore - Part 2

In between the few sessions for sound checks and the actual concert timings, we had some time for a bit of get together and shopping. Was around Tanjong Pagar area, and saw this sign which I thought was particular good. Incidentally, since showing it around, I have been asked twice already “How about for females?”. Err.. don’t know’leh. Have you ever seen a female dog pee? Maybe that’s how it will be depicted. But I guess this was used as a generic signage.

Especially for those who can never make up their minds and like to order “Whatever” or “Anything”, BEWARE! You may actually get your “whatever” or “anything”. :P What's inside the canned drinks? Well, it is really, whatever, and anything.


Was also in the Chinatown area, and noticed these quaint looking windows along the shops at one of the entry points for the Chinatown MRT (Mass Rapid Transit – equivalent to Malaysia’s LRT or London’s Tube). There are actually quite a few more in various colours and designs which made for an interesting feel.

Closer to the venue, we performed at the Victoria Theater, which had quite a colonial look (after all, it IS called the Victoria Theater!). It is situated near the Boat Quay area, with towering office blocks housing the various financial institutions. A short walk across the Cavenagh Bridge will bring one from the Boat Quay area to the Victoria Theater. We also saw a mass exercise session conducted by two instructors for the general public. To be honest, have been to Singapore a few times, but have never really explored this part of the city, and was pleasantly surprised. Maybe I should travel down more often…. :)
