The Bus Is My Other Car.

Monday, 15 Nov 04
Met up with leanseah, jeremy koh and chee. Was supposed to watch 'The Incredibles' @ Plaza Sing, but didn't watch it because tickets was 'selling fast' (i.e. only 1 ticket up for grab). Ended up visiting Istana and not watching any movie. Was drizzling and got heavy subsequently so there wasn't much of a queue into Istana.

Have nothing much to say about Singapore's presidential 'palace'. Have to pay $2 to see the interior of the building. Nice chandeliers, but the marble floors are not well-polished. Oh well they are open to the public anyway. Saw diplomatic gifts from other countries. Personally I like the gift from Suadi Arabia.. a mosque with a golden dome embedded in a glass.

On the way out we were still wondering what purpose does the golf course in the Istana serve? Seriously doubt your excellency plays golf during his freetime. Then there were gurads-of-honour which we were tempted to 'boo' from behind... do unto others what others do unto you ;)
