with 3 comments

If you are some pervert with something else in mind that happened to come over at my blog searching for something else, go, go away..heh!

This was taken nearby the Cavenagh Bridge while walking pass the Fullerton Hotel towards the Merlion Park. I think the figurative sculptures portrays a bunch of boys jumping into the Singapore river, enjoying afternoon swim.

Well, how easy life in that era, huh! You can find joy in something as cheap as jumping into a river. I wonder whether anyone insane enough to go naked and jump into Sungai Selangor (is there even one nowadays?..hehe)

If you are in the vicinity you can check the description of that 5 naked boys sculptor – “The first generation”. I think he is Chong Fah Cheong (born in 1946), a local Singaporean artist.

What’s In The Name?

What My Name Means


You are loving, compassionate, and ruled by your feelings.
You are able to be a foundation for other people… but you still know how to have fun.
Sometimes your emotions weigh you down, but you generally feel free from them.

You are usually the best at everything … you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic “Type A” personality.

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You’re always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can’t handle you. You’re very intense.
You definitely are a handful, and you’re likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out.
Success comes rather easily for you… especially in business and academia.
Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You’re a strong person.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It’s easy to get you excited… which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don’t stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are incredibly wise and perceptive. You have a lot of life experience.
You are a natural peacemaker, and you are especially good at helping others get along.
But keeping the peace in your own life is not easy. You see things very differently, and it’s hard to get you to budge.

Oh Merlion!

with 2 comments

This is among the last tourist attractions we managed to go to on our trip to Singapore. We saw another Merlion in Sentosa island but this one is the official one in Merlion Park.

We took the MRT and stop at Raffles Place station, walked around the area and saw Esplanade from far. There is one bridge nearby the Fullerton Hotel and we just walked according to the sign.

Then we saw people (can only see their legs from the tunnel under the Anderson bridge) and I know they must be flocking at the Merlion..heh!

Oh, I did pose with open mouth (imagining the Merlion is spitting the water) but couldn’t get a good pose because I was too conscious of other people watching me gaping..but you should see so many others with funny pose at the park.
