SWINGGING SINGAPORE

 MUKADDIMAH
  
During the course of pursuing my architectural studies, I had visited several places in this region. If I had the resources I would like to visit more places around the world. Any sponsors?
   
Singapore, being the closest Malaysian neighbour, is the most visited city outside Malaysia by me. As I said earlier, my rendezvous with the Lion City begins quite early in my live.
  
Early photo of our family Singapore trip. I'm not sure where exactly the photo was taken from. Look at me. Oh my God. What am I thinking then? All my sisters were wearing co-ordinated number in pink, M@k's creations! The difference of the three design are the collar. @tih is sporting cheongsam style. El@ with cekak musang and @cik with ... what was that? Stanford Raffles collar?  
 
 
 
The photo was taken on Sentosa Island. I was in my final year Diploma in Architecture in ITM. This was our first introduction to Urban Design. Singapore is one of the city in the world which implement very strict urban design guidelines. That why the city look very organise, clean and well planed. Sometimes, I feel that it was too well planned it's become regimented and... cold. There are always something telling you what to do. Signboards, arrows, warning signs etc. Don't do this. Don't go there. Walk here. See this. Flush after you finished, etc.
Singapore city is as green as Kuala Lumpur. There are many parks and open spaces. The photo was taken from one of such parks in the marina bay area. In the background is Singapore city skyline. I was in my second year Advance Diploma and I went with my junior from the final year Diploma. They were studying the MRT stations for their design project; The KL LRT stations. Me? I just tag along.
On the balcony of the penthouse office at Ngee Ann City on Orchard Road. The office tower is still under construction (final stage). As usual, we give the guard a slip and went into one of the working lift and when straight up. We took the firemen's lift because we know that only that lift stop at every floor. Although we met with a few workers, we were not stopped or question. The art of trespassing: always act as if you know were you're going and be cool! 

From front, Gina, As, Mie, me and Oman.
