I have become an... Instagram addict!!! LOL!!!

Yeah.. I can don't log into my FaceBook account, Twitter account for a day or so but I simply cannot resist from logging into my Instagram account!!!

As long as I have a break in my work schedule, the first thing I'll do is to log into my Instagram account via my iPhone 4S... -_-"

Just love checking out all the beautiful photos from all around the world on Instagram... ^_^

I, myself, posted lots of pics on Instagram the past week.. LOL.. ;p

Spent a great day with my "bro", Melvin, last week, in fact, it was an enjoyable week..

Thus I (we) took lots of photos the past week & posted them on Instagram..

So without much further ado, I shall let my photos do most of the "talking" again.. LOL!!!

So ready?.....  ^_-

Here we go!!! LOL!!!

Waiting...

P.S.

Either GD has been suffering from insomnia the past few nights, either that or people have been suspecting that his Instagram account could have been hacked.. Cos' he's been posting many pics in his Instagram account every night & some are old pics taken some time back...

Speaking of which, out of the many he posted, here are 2 photos which he posted in his Instagram & people have been mentioning that they thought it was me when I reposted them in my FaceBook!!!

Here are the 2 photos & I must admit.. I see the similarities!!! Dang!!! O.o

Wait a minute... Is that me or GD???!!!

LOL!!!

Kampong Glam area.. :)

Visited & strolled down Kampong Glam area yesterday afternoon.. :)

Kampong Glam is well-known for its many landmarks there & one is none other than their ever-popular Masjid Sultan Mosque, located at No.3 Muscat Street.. :)

This beautiful mosque - The Sultan Mosque was named after the first Sultan of Singapore, was built with a SGD3,000 grant from the East India Company. It is the largest mosque in Singapore and the present building was constructed in 1928. With its massive gold-topped dome and spacious prayer hall, the mosque has one particularly interesting feature--the base of the dome is made up of glass bottles.

Just beside Masjid Sultan Mosque, was the Malay Heritage Centre, located just a street away, between Kandahar Street & Aliwal Street..

Had never visited the Centre before, thus I went in to take a look & was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful & peaceful the place is.. :)

Here are a few photos I took of the place while I was there.. :)

It so happened that there was also a Pasar Malam going on along Kandahar Street during this period of the fasting month.. :)

I couldn't resist a cup of Icy Chendol on the hot sunny afternoon.. ;d

It was delicious! :D

After which, I strolled down Bussorah Street..

I really like the place cos' as I was strolling down the lane, I felt as if I was not in Singapore anymore..

You will understand what I mean when you are there.. ;)

Little pretty shophouses lined both sides of the street.. :)

Stumbled by chance upon this shop called Children's Little Museum @ 42 Bussorah Street.. :)

There were also many other interesting shops located along Bussorah Street, however, due to the sudden downpour, Clement (who came to meet me later) & I stopped by this backpacker's cafe for a drink while waiting for the rain to stop..

The name of the cafe was Sleepy Sam.. :)

It has a very nice, cosy, dim ambience.. :)

"Uncle" Clement on the phone.. :P

We also stopped by OBJECTIFS

& strolled down Haji Lane..

I also dropped by the National Library Building along Victoria Street that afternoon

& "bumped" into my friend, Angeline, there.. :)

Nice, quiet place with a tranquil ambience.. :)

We also strolled down (the well-known district for its fashion & the arts) - Haji Lane,

which was just parallel to Arab Street..

We have not visited the place for quite awhile since last year..

After the leisure stroll, we headed to Liang Seah Street

where we stopped over at Lai Lai Family Restaurant for tea..

I tried their Pork Floss & Cheese Toast, Thick Peanut Butter Toast & their Red Milk Jasmine Bubble Tea which all tasted not bad..

(Too hungry & busy eating that I didn't bother to take any pics this time.. :d)

Talking about food..

This week, on Monday & Wednesday night, I also brought Shawn Ethan for dinner at Ishi Mura Japanese Food Street, located inside Yishun's Northpoint Shopping Centre.

That was our third/fourth time there..
We tried their Salmon Steak Cream Sauce Omelette Rice, Black Pepper Beef Omelette Rice, Scallop Cream Sauce Omelette Rice..

So yummy! ;d

Shawn & I also tried their Ishi Special Yaki Soba & Vegetable Pancake Okonomiyaki..

That's Shawn Ethan posing with our food.. :d Wahahaha! ;D

Watched 2 movies on DVD this week as well..

Surrogates (2009)

I wouldn't say this movie was superb or awesome..

But I must say it was surprisingly compelling for a Sci-Fi film..

A fine performance by Bruce Willis..

His character's journey through the bizarre world in the movie is obviously the heart of the film and it's written and portrayed very well.

12 Lotus《12莲花》(2008)

People who know me well will know that I'm an ardent movie fan of Hollywood Blockbusters & it's absolutely obvious, even from all my past years of previous blog posts, one will definitely notice that I watch mainly Hollywood movies, even though I do watch Chinese movies & local films occasionally..

The above movie was one which I've postponed watching for quite some time till Clement passed me the DVD recently..

After watching it, I felt that this film is average.

I felt that the storyline is too over-the-top.

In fact, I felt that it was not as good as 881 (an earlier movie by Royston as well).

I enjoyed 881.

I personally felt that this film has lots of weak points & even its quality, I've noticed, is not as good as 881.. [Example, I'm not sure if I am the only one noticing that the film tends to look "grainy" in many parts?]

However, I am moved by the committed performances of Liu Ling Ling and Mindee Ong.

One could see the amount of hard work and effort that was put in by them and the director.

Their splendid acting, I must say, was simply a pleasure to watch.

Found another KOI Bubble Milk Tea

wannabe yesterday evening! :p

Well, I happened to be passing through Bedok Central after visiting the Bedok National Library yesterday to return a library book which I've just finished reading..

Happened to "stumble" upon this Bubble Milk Tea outlet..

Thus I decided to purchase a cup of its Bubble Milk Tea to taste & see if it's nice..

Nah.. After trying it, I must say this Bubble Milk Tea is definitely not as nice as KOI's & is no way anywhere comparable to KOI's..
