Esplanade is one of my favourite places in Singapore. Whenever I'm free, I would just go there to just sit there and explore the visual arts on display. I can't explain why perhaps I like the vibe and its near the water. If I have the energy, I would walk to Marina Bay Sands and maybe visit the Arts Science Museum.
25 years ago in June, I cried myself to sleep when I read that Wong Ka Kui, the lead singer from Hong Kong most popular band, Beyond passed away. That year, I was preparing for my Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE). In the 90s, Beyond songs dominated the airwave. How time flies! I still like your songs despite all these years.
Wong Ka Kui was the most talented Hong Kong singer who composed great music and lyrics like Boundless ocean, vast sky (海闊天空) and "Glorious Years" (光輝歲月) despite the fact he had no formal musical training. All he had was pure talent driven by his passion in music. With that he wrote timeless music like Boundless ocean, vast sky (海闊天空) "Glorious Years" (光輝歲月) that are still popular today.
I'm Teochew and don't really listen to Cantonese songs. However I like Beyond Cantonese songs. Perhaps I only listen to Wong Ka Kiu songs as he is a real musician.
Thank you for the wonderful music you left behind.
Finally, Beijing Madame Tussauds has launched Wong Ka Kiu wax replica. I must say its really well done because it looks like him 100%! The one hugging Wong Ka Kiu wax replica is his youngest brother.
One of my favourite Beyond song, Glorious Years" (光輝歲月)
I had a craving for matcha toast and thus went in search for it at Suntec City.
Luckily we found it at Siamese Cat located at B1-173 around the fountain of wealth at Suntec City.
This matcha Shibuya is awesome with the buttery fragrant crispy toast and sweet red bean mash and matcha ice-cream. I be back for more. Definitely it is my favourite matcha dessert now!
The highly anticipated Trump-Kim summit will start on 12 June 2018 in Singapore. To capitalise Oops, to commemorate this historic event, Singapore Mint has recently launched Trump-Kim commemorative medallion. The retail price is priced at the 'lucky' price of $1380. (In Mandarin, 138 sounds like 一生发 which is always prosperous in life)
The Singapore Mint will release three versions of the US-North Korea summit medallions: gold, silver, and nickel-plated AFP/Handout
I'm pretty excited about the Trump-Kim summit to be held in Singapore on 12 June this year. The world media will be in Singapore and it will help boost Singapore tourism during this period. Of course, things might change and Trump-Kim summit might not materialise.
In 2015, Singapore successfully hosted the historic Taiwan-China Ma-Xi meeting in Singapore. Its the first time after 1949, that both leaders from China and Taiwan meet each others.
I hope Trump-Kim summit is a success here too and there be world peace.
