weddingboxx is finally officially opened! All couples making wedding preparations please take note! no ribbon cutting or lion dancing but we did drill and screw in the plastic sign for their office and go for a simple groupie lunch at the Travel cafe along Prinsep Steet. Food was quite ok but that place is definitely not the kind of place where I would go and plan my trip.. i mean, they don't even allow you to browse their maps! and they need to have more coffee table books and travel brochures and internet sites and so on to inspire the lazy, procrastinating backpack traveller. oh well.. i guess i should go set up my own version one day..

Went to see Singapore Watercolour Society's 32nd Annual Exhibition at Mita building. Actually it was more for us to show that we support the many artists from the society who come and buy our Winsor & Newton Artist Watercolours.. : p Some of the works were not bad but some were definitely more of an Emperor's New Clothes kind of challenge to our taste.. haha... Kai and I paused at this picture of a watermelon and stared and stared and stared and finally (holding our belly of laughs) quickly walked away before we offended the artist responsible for the work.. hahahaha... Dropped in at Soobin Art Gallery and gawked at the bizarre contemporary Chinese works at the current exhibition "Boys & Girls".. very disturbing and quite political.. there was this huge sculpture with a Goliath man literally growing out of another huge man's pelvis area.. I think it was meant to depict the two brains of a person (the sexual and the intellectual) or something like that? don't know.. umm...

ended day shopping for Cds and bought Bjork's Vespertine (finally! :) ) and John Coltrane's Kulu Se Mama .. am enjoying them now..nice :)
