Thai Coup - Singapore Wins!

The Thais played Singapore in the first leg of the finals in the Asean Championships tonight. I watched only the last few minutes of the match after a message from Teddy. The controversial decision by the M'sian referee to award a penalty to Singapore led to a 2-1 loss for Thailand. Apparently a coup was staged and the Thais walked off the pitch in protest. Well, what can I say? Its entertaining right? The second leg of the finals will be held this Saturday at Bangkok...the shopping haven! Too bad can't go

Past and Present Singapore

The majority of Singaporeans live in high rise dwellings. I envy these people whose bedrooms allow them to look at the skyline without obstruction. Though I did not trespass into a stranger's flat, I found a good spot along the corridor on the 8th floor of this HDB flat in Chinatown where you get a good view of modernised Singapore and its Chinese heritage of shophouses. I got the idea after noticing many nice pictures on the internet (like this one) taken from high vantage points. Lunar New Year is coming soon, and these streets will be lined with bright lights and huge crowds. At night, this scene will be very pretty. Anyone knows other spots good for photos of the city's skyline?
