SINGAPORE - Plastered on the building of Raffles City is Fantasmas (Phantoms) an artwork by Isaac Montoya, a Spanish artist. What passersby see is the psychedelic design of the portrait is of a woman screaming. Two very different images are revealed once one looks through a red and blue filter… like so …

…and these are the images which are revealed…

Pretty amazing isn’t it? This has to be one of the most unique and creative artworks I have seen in a while. Hopefully, I will manage to find the rest of the Biennale artworks around town.

SINGAPORE - Sticky Date Pudding @ PS. Cafe. This had to be one of the best desserts I have tried in this city. The date pudding was warm and moist, and the sticky nutty toffee made it extra sinful. I felt really gluttonous eating it all by myself, but at the same time it was too good to share.

I was riding the bus home at noon and decided to hop off for a bit and check out the SAM. Fortunate for me, all exhibits are free from 12 noon to 2 in the afternoon. I had seen most of the exhibit in my last visit to the SAM in June. However, there was one particular exhibit that I thought was quite interesting. It was by a Balinese artist, Masriadi. At only 34 he has accomplish quite a collection of contemporary art works. In my opinion, a few of his works were reminiscent of the oeuvre of Dali and Picasso. The painstaking attention to detail of his work is simply incredible.

His works are currently being housed at the SAM 8Q Building. Not quite as special as the main Singapore Art Museum, but still has its own charm. However, imagine my surprise when I walked in the lobby of 8Q and the first thing I see is this…

I must check out Biennale next.

vvvrrroooommmmm

I have no words, just laughter.

Job hunting…

Here is a clip of my favorite bit in the show. The Halloween episode…

And another… A parody of HIMYM and Barney’s ‘earlier career’…

…dary.

A cat pees and the city is under water. This was the scene today and it felt weird seeing a sea of water around me while in the car. Needless to say, people stranded unable to commute home. And of course, traffic.

It made me think of this movie. Anyone seen it? Comments? Violent reactions? If anything, David Suchet stars in it, so perhaps it has the potential to be good?

2. I always feel like, somebody’s watching meeee, oohh ohhh, I can’t enjoy my tea
I am still debating about becoming an anonymous ‘blogger’, not that a lot of people read my blog, but it feels like a violation of my thoughts. Also recently, I have been having this awkward feeling towards blogs as it being a self-promotional tool. It doesn’t help when your name is plastered on the URL. I guess this explains my resistance to carrying on blogging. Does blogging encourage self-centeredness?

3. Received very good news today, which has put me in a better mood.

4. Speaking of better moods… watch this clip and tell me that this does not make you smile? Feist meets Sesame Street.
