I hate going to City Hall. Full of white-collar people, some of whom display much yuckier attitude than those aunties at wet markets whom we always use to irk at. But luckily, my hate for City Hall stops there. 'cause from City Hall MRT station, you can go to Raffles City, Citylink, Suntec City, Millenia Walk and the Esplanade. only now did i realise that Singapore has a lot of 'cities'. It's like going to a city of a city.

but the best part has yet to come! i haven't even listed Marina Square! i've been there once after it has been partially renovated and it doesn't strike my eye a little bit. maybe 'cause i didn't explore much then. But yesterday, changed my whole perception of it! go to the Level 3 and it'll remind you of Far East's 'Level One', despite its major difference in floor space. go one floor down and you'll feel as if you're in a food haven.

there's restaurants serving Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Indonesian, Chinese dishes and many more! grrr... too bad for me for it's not 'Halal'. so my choices are somewhat limited. i'm not sure about the prices though but i guess many of you are more or less experienced enough to estimate how thick your wallets and purses should be when you come to these places, right!

now go back up to Level 3. turn to your left and walk past the little shops till you reach the end. what did you see?

'RASTAFARI!'

okay, even if you take the wrong lane, you should be able to see this shop 'cause it's so distinctive! i just love the stuffs that they sell. alright, i shall be honest here. i don't quite like their shirts 'cause they are not to my liking. but i simply love their accessories! i want to get more bangles and necklaces from there! they say it's hand-made but i'm not too sure about it. but hey! what matters is the quality and if you like it or not! and i certainly do!

wood. simple. nature. appreciated. that's the way it should be.

if you had not known, RASTAFARI's concept is reggae, marijuana and such. and if you know me well, you should know that i'm not a person who appreciates these elements. but yet, yeah i do partonise the shop. it's so unlike me. perhaps it's metamorphosis in process.

next time, if you're sick and tired of the long tunnels of Suntec City, get a glimpse of the inner side of Marina Square. it's quite a distance to go in though. but who cares! you'll have no regrets to be in there. and you know what's cool? Getting to the Esplanade area is far much more convenient from Marina Square than Suntec City. talk to me about the cool breeze and destressing here people! AHAHAHA! what an escape from the hustle and bustle of reality.

(Was Hinokio that touching? I didn't cry at the appropriate scenes but Yan did. In fact, i didn't cry at all. i think i'm getting too heartless and cold-blooded. but the main female character was cool. i like her. ;)

after watching the previews at the 'Premium Lounge' outside the theatre, i realised that i missed lots of good movies. argh. damn it. but i still have the urge to watch 'School of Rock' once more. DVD also can lah!)
