2 Aug 05: At the hostel

Here's posting photos taken at the Hillhead Hostel. Enjoy. If you like, please read the post on my main blog: 2 Aug 05, part two: Arrived in Aberdeen for more details.

In short, I was in Aberdeen (in Scotland), participating in the Aberdeen International Youth Festival earlier this month. Thereafter, I travelled to London on my own and was there from 13 - 17 Aug 05.

I hope these series of photos to come would give you a visual depiction of my recent UK trip. Like this blog is meant to be, a depiction and collection of photos and short write-ups of places.





I will miss the blue skies of Aberdeen, and its nice evening skies.

I was laying down on the grass within the hostel's compound. It was already past 7.30 p.m. and it was still bright on a summer evening. I have Mystic to thank for teaching me how to take photographs of myself without any help of anyone else. If it looked nice, tell Mystic that she has been a good teacher. *Winks*

The night. The building is the Adam Smith House, the block where I stayed.

Travelling like a tourist: 12 June 2005

Please allow me to treat your eyes to some of the places I have been to on 12 June 2005. That evening, I felt as if I was a tourist travelling around Singapore. Singapore has interesting spots to sight-see, even for the locals. Enjoy!



Sentosa! The landmark ferry terminal at the background. 


The merlion found in Sentosa. 


The night comes. 


Raffles' landing point. Near Empress Place. 


Supreme Court, at night.  

Nice interior architecture

I often find the interior architecture of Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay beautiful. Here is sharing with you glimpses of the interior of the Esplanade.

Watch the lines. You may find beauty in them just as I do.


Interior, Esplanade Concert Hall's corridors 


Up the stairways. 


Peering through the glass panels 


Closer up and you'll see the Merlion. 


Step back 


Walk down the lane 


Slanted perspective but nice 


Looking up 


Looks like patterns
