Tickle Art.


If the environmentalists saw this, they ain't gonna be too happy. So many plastic bags hanging on the wall, especially with the Less Plastic Bag Campaign going on right now. heh heh.

I came across this installation art last week along the underpass of Citylink Mall and the Esplanade. Went back yesterday to get some photos of it. I think it is really creative. Made of only plastic bags and compact discs, this work is entitled "The Many Emotions of Mr. Singapore". It is by Robert Ern-Yuan Guth and Chang Jin Chao who did the faces. The description of this work says, "This is a simple material-based work that relies the resemblance of shopping bags to the human form. The purpose of the work is to encourage the viewer to look at the everyday with fresh eyes and enjoy the world around them. Hopefully it makes them smile. The most noticeable difference is that the faces have been hand drawn not printed on the CDs, which is intention for the final work."


A close look at one of the faces.


Beside the Mr. Singapore, are these drawings on the glass. I did not get the name of the work, but its real interesting too. I think these are drawings of the HDB housing drawn using markers.


The drawings depicts what can be found behind the brick walls of the HDB dwellers.


Something like play SimCity? Heh heh. I remember I usedta doodle things like that when I was young, drawing the futuristic tower which I dream to own one day. Complete with the subway passing underneath the tower. =)


And, right beside these marker drawings, are the displays of the works from the winners of the "Garden Fairy" Design Competition. I think its design for the mug and the box with the theme of "Garden Fairy" or something... Enjoy the pictures, in no particular order of prizes.

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

Shopping for Perfume.

If you want to buy original but cheaper perfume in Singapore, you'd probably go to Lucky Plaza . You can bargain at the perfume shops in Lucky Plaza which is the exact reason why anyone would wanna shop at Lucky Plaza. I went there with a friend to shop for some perfume this afternoon. It was a shopping experience I never had before in Singapore. As a matter of fact, never before in my life or anywhere in the world. I usually visit the two shops near McDonald's . Today we decided check out another shop since we had walked from the "Lucky Plaza - Ngee Ann City underpass". We had in mind one of the brand we wanted. So after asking the price, we looked for the 2nd bottle of brand, but at a lower budget. We tested three, can't decide and asked for recommendation from the boss, an Indian lady (not being racist, its just the fact it happened to be an Indian shop). She showed me a black face (no pun intended! heh ) and said my budget was too low. She probably wasn'...

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too...
