Somewhere in Orchard {feeling like a tourist}

I went to Orchard again.  The plan of the day was to checkout some cargo shipping to Cebu from Singapore.  At lucky plaza, where most Filipinos would send their monies, I found LBC.  LBC is a Filipino freight company and they have an office in Singapore. The last time I went to Lucky Plaza I couldn't find the place. 

For air express service, my 30 kilos will cost me around 240 SGD, quite expensive!  And I asked the teller about the size of the box and she told me that the one displayed is for sea cargo so they needed to weigh first my stuff which by the way I have to bring to their office as they are going to check it themselves and the pricing will be per kilo.  I think I'm gonna go for the sea cargo.  Anyway, most of the stuff which I'm gonna be sending will be books both read and unread.  The price for sea cargo will be 50% less SGD so I can save on that but then the draw back will be the delivery time - like it's gonna be some 25 freaking days.  I'm okay with it actually, since I have to at least save a bit :)

After the long inquiry with that kind lady who answered all of my questions, I went out and began the shoot.  But before I took a lot of pictures, I decided to buy again the flavor of the road ice cream bar wrapped in bread - this is by the way a Singapore style of eating some ice cream which is actually a must try.  It will cost you a jaw dropping 1 SGD ;)

Here are my pics for the day:

After some long walks, I got tired and checkout the movies at the Cathay.  I watched "The Expatriate". The movie is average I would say and there were moments that it felt dragging and the story is a bit long for a simple plot.  The movie was somewhere along the line of Jolie's "Salt" but with less action and drama.  I actually wanted more action and thrill :D

My Saturday Event

When I came to Singapore, I have always wanted to take pictures of these elaborate conceptual structure and today, I just had the chance of capturing their silent beauty.

I actually had quite a busy day. I woke up around 9AM and directly defrosted the fish meat I bought from shop and save. I just had it there on a basin soaked in water for 20 minutes and after that, I fried it. But of course, I sprinkled it with salt and pepper to taste. After an hour, I decided to go to the gym. Then after an hour, I went home and had at least 3 hours of hibernation. Hibernation for me was like surfing the net and chatting with friends from the Philippines.

At around 5PM I went to Lucky Plaza to send money to my friend I owed. Then came the moment to take some pictures. I took only three pictures and decided to just post one. And here I present to you this nice piece of art, I guess. I did not know the name or the artist of these sculpture so I gave it a name and it's called, "Enchanted Trio". I had another name of these piece like I was thinking of naming it, "The Hoppers" but it sounded weird and bug-ish, and so people might think they are bugs. Another thought was naming it, "Free Spirited" - I actually thought of naming it with that but after a few minutes of hard thought, I ended up with, "Enchanted Trio".
