Labrador Park - lunch time walk in Singapore

Hi dear followers :)
Today I share with you the walk at Labrador area which is close to my office building complex. I find it as a blessing having the opportunity to spend an hour of lunch time outdoor enjoying the nature :)

Hope you will enjoy this virtual walk trough mangroves :)

This is Maple-tree Business Centre where my office building is located. 

The first view when entering the Labrador mangrove following the Boardwalk

Keppel Marina and view to Reflections buildings. This is one of the views after passing Labrador mangrove Boardwalk and walking by Caribbean condominium facing the marina.

This is how it looks like on the map. It is 7km long walk.

It was an enjoyable noon hour. I recharged my batteries and brought the smile to my office.

Take care and greets from Singapore :)

Hi lovely people:))
Going around Singapore and being asked from where I'm, I've started to say: Singapore :)

Some of my friends already know about this tell :):), BUT I've just used it and it worked so I've decided to share it with you :)

Few weeks ago my foot massage therapist asked: where are you from miss? I've answered: Singapore :) She said: oh I see I see, you're Asian Caucasian :)

When I heard that at first I've thought: well done Eva, you're finally assimilated.

Afterwards, I've realized that she gave me the best answer for that kind of question :))

Lazy Sunday Scroll :)

Hi to all you dear people :)

One of the Sundays I've spent scrolling the Marina Bay taking photos with my iPhone and decided to share the experience.

 Marina Bay Sands is in my neighbourhood and most of my free time I spend scrolling around it. I have to admit that, after I have seen the National Geographic show about the construction of the site, I did understand the reason why I enjoy moving around that area so much.  Whoever is interested to see the show, follow this link http://youtu.be/1Hd8VI2UHLg

:) these are some of the photos I have taken scrolling around:)

First are sthe Shops at Marina Bay Sands :) to all the shoppers..all brands are here:))

For all the "sweet tooth persons...this  is the place to go...High Society cakes place :)

Getting out to Marina Bay Sands the visitors enjoy the view to the central part of Singapore

....and could spot some pond flowers :)

...and than a scroll at the Marina Bay Sands riverside :)

Wedding/Solemnization Witness

Today I was invited to Solemnisation of the partnership i.e. signing the paper which considers you married under the Singaporean laws, therefore in simple words, I was attending a wedding ceremony :)

This one is not the first one I was present, hence I have noticed a pattern and applied the lesson learned.

Some years ago, at the beginning of my first stay in Singapore, I was attending Malay wedding. A lot was new to me that time...customs, food...environment. During the ceremony I noticed a big wedding cake sitting behind the couple. Spotting it I got the sweet tooth :) and decided to stay until the cake slice reaches my plate. But, hours were passing and my patience was vanishing, so after al long waiting I asked other guests...when we shall have a cake? They answered: what cake? I said: that one, behind the couple? They said: oh, that one...no cake my dear...that's the plastic one for decoration only.
Me: |%#{}]+£<€#>%£|!~~<

Therefore, today, when we were taking photos in front of the wedding cake...I knew that I will leave early to have a treat in "High Society" bakery :))

Public transport

Today was a Singapore Air Show day  (when I figure out how to upload.
The show was good..an hour of watching the air crafts at the sky..and stimulating background  music.
For folks not familiar with Singapore island, the event was organized at the east end of the world known as Singapore..the Changi.

To get there and back you can use taxi, bus or mrt. News said that thousand of people had headed to the event from early morning, what was true. The place was packed. So, seeing the situation, I must say that Singapore commuting system was at glance, well done :).

My travel back from 'far east' to Orchard, which is in the hart of the city, took around an hour. During that hour I didn't feel any frustration due to congestion :). Mass was mowing in its own pace first to shuttle bus than to bus or mrt and its different terminals. Was an enjoying the ride :))

Thx Singapore :)

Kind of Ego stuff

:)) not sure if you know about, but this blogger system shows you "your curve" of popularity. For a certain reason I've got an increase but no followers...I'm not surprised..me lazy on updates :)) Anyway, few days ago I've said that it is no point writing a blog...i find it kind of diary :))...and I have to admit that I'm not following most of the blogs to I've subscribed..including this one :))

 Ok..enough of usual complaints...so let's talk what happened today :))) Today was a Chingay 2014 day in Singapore... That's a parade in honor of Chinese New Year...organized...nice and with the message...One People..having a tix gives you a bag of goodies..isn't that nice?! :)) what kind of goodies: water, a writing block (old fashioned for the kids), raincoat, cheering stuff and the scarf with a title One People...light motive of the parade...living I different countries and surviving wars :))...I've agreed and accepted Singapore principles...it is one of the kind.. We, the audience, we're practicing the "stand up...sit down...cheer..standing ovations...show the scarf...hide the scarf..." for an hour...I've truly enjoyed as it was shortening my time to the start of parade...not all were enjoying...yes, we have to admit..it was kind of daily exercise...but we are all looking into health life...so...:)

One People....Actually I've liked it as the principle...but I'm not sure how it was taken :))

 Btw..the best mojito cocktail you can get in Hannibal at Robertson Walk and if you're starving after 10pm call McDeath (McDonald) and Pastamania, as these guys still home deliver...this is for Singapore guide purposes...I found some blogs about guiding..so I don't want to be "behind", I bet you know what I mean :)

 P.s.
Hope you had a good reading...if you didn't understand it..please revert with saying you didn't understand..I shall leave the explanation to my further inspiration...but you know that anyway :))
Have a good weekend guys :)
