arab street rediscovered
3 years ago, a friend asked me: where would you bring your friends if they were visiting singapore for the first time? and my friend brought me to arab street. since then, i fell in love with this exotic place of inherent beauty and rich culture. i cannot explain the simple joy of admiring the place for itself and be intrigued by the little things along the streets.

perhaps i've always been a mountain turtle... ask me about shopping malls and sentosa and famous beaches in singapore, i will be able to tell you much more. when it comes to going around places to look at stuff, i think i'm still totally green. and when i say stuff, i mean the buildings, the business activity, the aroma in the air, the aesthetic window displays and the narrow streets...

i spent the weekend walking down haji lane with syl and joel again... looking at interesting accessories, cheap clothes shops, boutiques, fabric shops, sheesha outlets, arabic food restaurants and i'd say, it was another eye opening trip!
