Singapore Unique Architecture: Star Vista

I went to watch Chong Feng 重逢12 (Reunion12), a Chinese concert by Singaporeans and Taiwanese who sang 60s to 90s songs in a unique architecture at Star Vista Performing Arts centre that can seat 5000 people. The design is really impressive and I think it looks like a big spacecraft. What do you think?

Singapore National Day Song: Home

One of the most popular National Day Parade song in Singapore is Home composed by Dick Lee. This is one of my favourite too by sang by Kit Chan.

Honeymoon Dessert at Ion Orchard

If you are looking for traditional Chinese dessert and fusion dessert, Honeymoon Dessert (originated from Hong Kong) is the place to go to. They serve both hot and cold dessert. With about 100 desserts from their menu, there is something for everyone from the young to seniors. 

There are a few branches in Singapore. The shop I went is located at Ion Orchard Basement 3. 

 Healthy Mixed Fruits Grass Jelly ($6.50)

 Durian in Vanilla Sauce with Green Tea Ice-Cream ($8.00)

 Mango Pomelo Sago ($5.90)

My favourite dessert is Double Boiled Milk with Baked Walnut and Almond ($5.00)

Stop and Smell the Roses

After attending a seminar at Singapore Management University (SMU), I was so happy to see tall trees blooming with yellow flowers just outside SMU and walking further down, I saw these beautiful pinkish flowers.

These flowers known as Ixora sp are so pretty right? Instead of rushing to the next destination, stop and smell or admire the pretty flowers.

 Anyone know the name of this tree outside Singapore Management University?

 After the rain, the flowers were dripping wet.

Singapore Wrapped Candy Sculpture

I was on my way to Paradise Dynasty at Ion Orchard for dinner when I spotted this cute wrapped candy with the Singapore flag on it. Looks like a crushed wrapped candy. What is your opinion?

Unique Architecture in Singapore near Bugis Junction

Anyone have any idea what is the name of this unique looking building that is near Bugis MRT station? It looks like a flat sheet of paper until you walk to the other side to see the rest of the view. 

 This building looks like a sheet of paper. 

 Walk to another side and you see it looks triangular.
