... Singapore is a fast paced cosmopolitan city where western & eastern cultures constantly melded. A place where forms of almost every culture and people from around Asia can be found in this single island. However, in a city like Singapore that is constantly changing and renewing itself, it has become quite difficult to find places that have been left unchanged.... old buildings & architecture have become even more so preciousss...

... This weekend I have been invited to a formal dinner reception & guess what?! With the amount of clothessss & shoesss... I've brought, none screams FORMAL! So I was in search for the right evening 'FORMAL' dress today... I had tried on a few pieces, but being the usual picky-me, did not find any that 'suits my fancy!'. O'well... still have the next couple of days...I'm on a mission now to find the right dress to impress!!! A colleague here has asked me to check out Robinson's (a Dept store at Centre Point that carries some formal wear) ...errr nothing to be impressed really... BUT-Instead I found a more interesting place to wander...it's just next to the Dept Store. Yesss...Some great old buildings! Which I guess have been spared from demolition- & well-preserved as well!
.
~Take a look okie*
errrrr...more like LOOKing UP !!!
That was what I did when I took these photos...
here are just some of them :

" You like Darrrlingsss...??? "

~Well...You better LOVE them!
cos' looking up & taking picturesss in this
hot-humid location are not that easy-
you know...especially on certain part of the body!
.
.
errr-errr...
just hope I won't need this
by tomorrow!
...whahahah*

...Still exploring & 'looking-up' in Singapore

Another batch of gorgeous photos! Let us know when you find your dress! Don't get something with a big fancy collar. Just incase you need that neckbrace.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on finding it. Can we get a photo of "the dress"?
ReplyDeleteLove the architecture! Thanks for the photos :)
I know so little about the architecture in Singapore that this is like a mini history/architecture lesson for me (except way more fun than school lessons ever were). I love it!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the dress you find! xoxo
Ooooh, those pics are amazing! I love both old & new architecture...
ReplyDeletecannot wait to see the outfit you pick out for this formal event! yay!

I wish I had a formal affair this weekend, I have a dinner party I'm going to, I should show up in an Armani gown, that would be fun!!
Fabulous color and architecture to the buildings! I love the "old" and so glad you could find some. Now I'm waiting to see this formal!!
ReplyDeleteI also love these, and I too wish to see a pic of whatever outfit you decide to get for the impending formal - BUT with you in it ! (yeah like that's going to happen)
ReplyDeleteRe Charlie's comment yesterday - it's true you are a nutter (correct English spelling if you're not a Cockney) and that is why we love you Lenore
(well one of the reasons) x
I kinda love the modern here - it's so very modern and sci-fi looking and clean!! Old is good too though - lovely photos - pretty colours! Best of luck with your formal attire hunting - don't forget to show us will you? XX

Love the colonial buildings in Asia! You're right though... unfortunately there are so few of them still left, with all the high-rises they're building. Good luck finding a formal dress! Perhaps you should look into getting one tailored? You could even get a traditional cheon-sam... they're quite stunning! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteshopping in another city is the best way to shop.
ReplyDeletelove the old building photos - very much worth neck pains (so long as they aren't too bad) =)
i want to go to singapore! loved, loved your photos. i have a thing for doors. thanks for stopping by zen of homekeeping! peace, kitty.
ReplyDeleteOh my those historical photographs are absolutely stunning! Hope you manage to find the perfect dress :)
ReplyDeletethose buildings are beautiful....happy hunting!
ReplyDeletethose are gorgeous!
