tell me about it

Haven’t been taking many photos with my trusty little phone camera but here are the few I did take.

My very last inter-hall Scrabble competition was nevertheless made more fun by my partner in crime for the last three years - Eddie Quek, aka my younger brother, who 1) is not actually younger than me and 2) is not my brother. But who’s keeping track anyway?

This is him displaying his unique knack for consuming prata in a fashion normally reserved for mammals which lack opposable thumbs - look Ma, no hands!

And this is him doing his famous trademark move - the double kiss, also known as the muak muak.

So last Tuesday I headed to SADM in a futile effort to plead with the lecturer to let me take photography (as it turns out I’m glad I couldn’t take it, since HZ101 popped up in such an opportune fashion). As always, my visit to SADM ended up with me soaking up a lovely fifteen minutes spent in quiet fascination as I paid full attention and adoration to my surroundings.

I do so love SADM. The seemingly endless swirl of water, the little fountains, the bridge of blocks, the little oasis right in the middle of the huge pool. The grass slopes, which I’d ridiculed when it was first built but now look gorgeously calm and oasis-ey. I’m a very tactile person, so I can’t resist taking off my shoes every time and walking along the solid gravelled pathways, dipping my toes into the water, walking across the bridge and back again. I love to go at night when no one’s around and actually wade through the entire pool. It’s so peaceful and beautiful.

Dipping.

Giving up the slippers and the decorum and sitting down on the edge to happily splash a little bit.

Me reflected in the huge glass wall panels on the side of the building. You can see the grass slope ceiling behind me.

The bigger view.

Photos, out!
