Back from a trip to Bugis.
To be more specific, Haji Lane.

Boy was i surprise about how trendy this little street can be. Tonnes of unique fashion clothes can be found here without having to squeeze with hordes of people. Quite a laid-back atmosphere. I likey! =D

Being the inquisitive me, i pretty much went to almost every single female clothing boutique on the street and take a peep inside. And retro prints are in again!

Went photographing in the vicinity of Kampong Glam with all those heritage shophouses gleaming with untold tales and wonderful stories. I like old/retro stuff which includes shophouses, big plastic-framed glasses and Vespa if you do not know.

And it seriously pains me when some idiot/developer decides to tear old buildings down and build some stupid fugly looking stucture over it 'cause they think the old structure is useless, which is totally bollocks! Me no likey! =(

But seriously, i dunno why was i looking at female fashion and clothings on the net the previous night. I'd argue that it was for the sake of design, but i bet you guys/girls will call me a queer already. Hahaha!

Coming back on topic, there is an art exhibition at Haji Lane titled "There You Go" featuring local artists like KILAS, Mohamad Fadzel, Ngojerk, OneTwoDelta, Princess Gal, Sadistk, Kyun and Zig. Admission is free and tomorrow is their last day so please do visit!

Boy i enjoyed looking at the abstract pieces being showcased at the exhibition. But i gotta admit, i find it hard sometimes to decipher some of the works. Considering that i already had some problems trying to understand Takashi Murakami's works in relation to Otakus in Japan, it doesn't really come as a surprise to me. =/

But the most fun part of the exhibition was definitely talking with the person in charge of the exhibition. I didn't really asked his name(slipped off my mind) but he sure was friendly and sorta answer my queries.

And the 2 kittens in the exhibition were absolutely adorable! Though they distracted me slightly when i was observing the works, they sure are wonderful, carefree animals moving around the exhibition like no one's business.

From that i can say our current art's scene is carefree and easy-going like the kittens, but media censorship means we can never put out controversial pieces that goes beyond fixed boundaries yet. But with due time, recognition will be given to those who dare to challenge the system.

After that, went looking around and saw an Abercrombie & Fitch polo shirt going at dirt-cheap price. Will be going down next week to get it. =D

I will end this off with one of the poems shown at the "There You Go" exhibition:

" I rather ignore it

Than to escalate worries

Time accumulates longings

The only way i could kil gravity

Is to sleep and forget the world. "

Deep indeed. =D
