A late night post, yet again. It seems I like posting late into the night when silence overshadows disquietude in the dark, forboding night. Seems I think and write better that way. Well, about yesterday's trip to- er-hem, the red light district... It just seems that... the food there is great! However, shady characters are everywhere, not like I bother with them anyway. But, I did make a few observations of my own regarding certain things though. For one, the rack with all the condoms on 'display' in the Shell Petrol Station's 7-11 is of a god-fearing '30cm x 100cm' size! Hey, I know this is the red-light district, but aren't they're over-exaggerating it? Pardon me, but the size of that rack was too big for me not to notice, not that I was looking for it anyway. Never you mind. Went there and spent most of my time sitting at a teahouse enjoying beancurd, fried dough fritters, wantons, and biscuits. Quite a heavy meal for supper, ain't it? And the fact that I just gorged myself at a buffet today doesn't really do good for my girth... Anyway, onwards. Henceforth, after careful examination of Singapore's night life, here's a few points I came up with:
1. Contrary to what some foreigners might say, Singapore's night life is often teeming, not just in the red-light districts but shopping districts too. Probably due to the government's extensive campaigns for improving tourism.
2. It isn't as sleazy as some of us might like to think. Just make sure you don't take a turn into the wrong streets though, or you might find yourself facing something (or someone) whom you would probably painstakingly avoid. It's full of people just trying to relax and talk over a cup of coffee. Sigh, the life of insomnia...
3. Hot damn! They do sell a lot of durains there!
Roads so busy it might well be the 7pm rush hour instead of one in the morning...
People relaxing at a cafe. And before you guys start thinking, the woman in the foreground is actually just a drinks hostess at the cafe. Nothing sinister.
Another instance of Singapore's hectic night life...

Anyway, that was yesterday night. Today is a new day, and there are new things to see (and eat).
Saw this beast early in the morning:
Anyone knows what that is?
Yea, it's the 2009 Nissan GTR-35. Fastest Japanese production sports car in the world's history. Just how fast? It has beaten the Porsche 911 Turbo at Germany's Nuurburbring race track. Remember not to smirk when you see 'Nissan' next time.
Look at the size of those wheels! 20-inch alloy rims!
Alright, enough of cars for now. Yesterday was my brother's birthday, but my parents were busy, so we only had time to celebrate it during today's public holiday. We went to Sakura Buffet at Clementi Woods Park for our dinner. And that was where the gorging began. Didn't know why I ate so much today, lol.
Happy birthday to my beloved brother!
For all cuisine lovers out there. I'm sure all of you will appreciate the diversity of delicacies available at Sakura Buffet. Lol, why am I doing advertisements for it?
Well, busy day today. An even busier day tomorrow. It just keeps getting better. Yea right, 'better'. Oh well, good night.
