Last week, fun week

As promised, here's my next entry.

Last week was just eventful, so many things done.
And... Everyday returning home late.
But sure am i happy.
I sure did have fun.
I guess i was really enjoying life as it is.

Ahh, i'll start chronologically, shall i?

Monday...
We went to Ray's place to watch movie.
Apparently, it was supposed to be something from the genre of horror.
But since Shou Xian isn't good with that, so we kinda dropped that idea and went for something more friendly for everyone.
Thus, we went for Zombieland.
It's a comedy about zombie apocalypse.
And it's pretty good actually.


Tuesday:
Went to Ray's place again to record my house mix.
Well, i messed up quite a number of time, and took quite a long while to get them done.
Finally, it was done, and....
I got to try the DDJ Ergo which Ray won the other day.

Man.... It looks so cool, and even more cooler when you turn it on.
My gosh~
But he decided to sell it away.

Oh yes, by the way, here's my mix

Like it? I think the previous one is much better though.
But i am equally satisfied.
But i think i'm going for deeper sounds.


Wednesday:

Ray and me went for the semi-finals of the Pioneer DJ competition.
Well, it was pretty good.
Saw a few of my friends who i have not seen for quite some while.

And....

Had my first taste of taco, thanks to Ray.
Man.... It's like popiah, Mexican style (as said by Ray)
Well, with the sauces and all.


Thursday:
We went to see ilights at Marina Bay.
But before that, we headed to Shou Xian's place for lunch, then hang out for awhile.
Had a mini session, trying out the chorus of the acoustic version of Glamorous Sky.

We then headed to the Singapore Flyer to have our dinner.
We had our dinner at the foodcourt.
Love how they styled it.
Inspired by the old yester-years of Singapore, it looks as if we leaped back through time.
But i guess pictures speak a thousand words.

And the food was great as well.

Had Hokkien Mee, and i must say, it's really good.

And heading our way to the ilights area after dinner, we treated ourselves to some great artworks.

Here are a few that we saw along the stadium area.

And...
Personally, i like this one.
It's called 'White Rain'.

Consist of many tubes containing motion receptors which senses movements and emit light and sound according to the movements detected.
Here's roughly how it is.


The next one was this.

I like how it turned out.
It looks as if it was drawn like a 2D art onto the picture taken. How cool is that?

After that, we headed toward the Marina Bay Sands side.
I must note that the view from Marina towards the city area is simply fantastic.

See?
Need i say more?

There are some really note-worthy artworks that i must speak of.
Like this one.

At one glance, it's a just a tower of light, nothing more nothing less.
It was until Ray saw it at one glance.
So what he saw?

Amazed, all of us started to try to look at the artwork while shaking our heads.
It's pretty ironic, as moments ago, we were laughing at people for looking silly while shaking their heads.
Here's a footage of how it would turn out to be, if you shake your head.

Cool isn't it?

The next one is this.

Similar to the one we saw at the Arts Museum.
I find it totally great. As if a gate to the twilight zone.

And...
Kraken attacks~

Looks pretty cool uh? It fits the place it is in, just picture-perfect.

Here's other displays along the Marina Bay Sands.

After that, we headed down to Fullerton's direction.
Here's one that has a creepy vibes to it.

Note that it is those umbrellas used by Thai monks, and there are ringing sounds that keeps playing.

There's also these containers. They are part of the artworks.

But i find them quite an artwork themselves, if they were just placed on the field by themselves.
So there are a few segments inside of them.

There's also the Red Igloo.

Looks pretty cute, isn't it?

And the glowing mushrooms....

Oh, here's one interesting part about them.
They are all made of stirrers. Yes, the ones that you use to stir your cocktails and drinks.

Reaching the Fullerton Bay Hotel, i guess nostalgia hit me hard.
It used to be a jetty, which Mom, Aunt and Granny used to bring me to.
We used to go there, take a boat, and head down to this island called Kusu Island.
Now, it's refurbished, renovated and used as a luxury hotel.

Nice, isn't it?

Next, we went to the artwork, which perhaps might be the highlight of the ilights display, in my opinion.
It's the Merlion.

You get the chance to 'color' the Merlion in different colors.
The last time i went with Jun Yao, the kids colored them very nicely.
With colorful colors and all.
But this time, the youngsters didn't do a pretty good job.
Aww well....

I also took some panoramic pictures along the way to Esplanade.

Like it?


To be honest, i really like to go out like this more often.
It prevents myself from thinking too much, and making myself all miserable at the end.
But i will face another problem if i do that so often.
It would be running low on funds.
Yes, going out means spending lots of money.
But somehow, it's kinda worth it, don't you think? =)
