Actually…



Actually…

This is a really nice shop selling lots of cool stuff.
I love the decor and layout of the shop. Quite quirky, but definitely has charm and personality, unlike many of the other stores around in singapore which are soul-less and just sleek.

This shop changes their collections every few weeks, so everything is always pretty new and fresh. Also, by only bringing in very limited quantities of any particular piece of clothing, it is definitely going to make that piece of clothing you buy quite unique. Less chances of that bumpintosomeoneelsewearingexactlythesamething thing happening.

Really happening jeans, t shirts, polos, both guys and girls stuff, bags and pencil cases made of recycled materials, funky shoes…
What are you waiting for?
Not for the totally mainstream kinda clothing person though.
Jeans are priced around 230ish, while tshirts are pretty reasonable at around 35-45 a pop.

It is located along Seah Street.
The street directly opposite Bras Basah Comples.
The shop is on the 2nd storey, with interesting steps leading up to it.
Find this museum of toys place along Seah Street, and and a few doors away is this gem of a shop hidden away.

Trying to overdo the smart-aleckyness

And.. we just had to outdo the smart-aleck.

Overkill and pointless, but hey, it definitely highlights a rather pointless joke. Haha, I wonder how someone who is actually looking for the “what customers want” book would react.

And which book he/she would end up buying.

Couldn’t help but snap this when I came across it in Borders.

Probably the work of someone as bored and boliao as iliyas and i.

A Salvador Dali sculpture outside Capital Towers.
No, i didn’t make a trip specially to capital towers just to take this.
So it was a pretty pleasant surprise to head to work one day just to see this outside. Nice.

Quite fitting though, how the sun is so bright…
The scorching heat melted the poor watch.

Sitting at one of the corners of a restaurant on a saturday night catching the Arsenal match. I like how the night shot caused all the neon signboards to all look overexposed and super bright.

Tiger beer there tasted super crappy.
Good thing i didn’t drink anything from that jug. hah
The beer was cheap, but the food at that restaurant was a total rip-off. Super tourist trap.
$15 for a plate of fried rice, or basically anything! Madness.

Yeaaaaah

Like the description says, it was a saturday night. After we ate at Makaan Mumbai with our dia band funds. =)
Super kickass naan and butter chicken curry. Yum.
We all really enjoyed the food man.

And on our way to get some refreshing almond teh ping from the Mr Teh Tarik at China Square, we come across an old-uncle band playing chinese cover songs. Super cheesy sounding, but i guess whatever rocks your boat.

DK as usual did his trademark “Yeaaaahh”.
