We walk, we see, we snap.: From Kovan and Dhoby Ghaut to Potong Pasir. (:

Giselle:

Good evening! Today, Jude and I explored 2 of the nicer houses near mine and took a little walk around the area before heading to Plaza Singapura to get Jude's scrapbooking materials and then, to attempt to walk home (which we gave up after more than an hour, at Potong Pasir).

First up, this house below which does not look as beautiful as it actually is (because we don't want to focus so much of the details inside the house before its owners come out to scold us), it has a beautiful pool (maybe enough for 3 laps?) by its left on the ground floor.

Below is the house which I've been wanting to show Jude. This house itself is a piece of art, constituted by many pieces of art. (: The most beautiful and amazing house I've ever seen, I swear.

In the little garden of this house, there's that tall thing which resembles a miniature of those proposed for Gardens by the Bay at Marina Bay which has bougainvillea grown on top. And behind the vertical bars is a huge white mask (the kind which is often used to 'symbolize' literature) which Jude noticed (which I had missed despite walking past this house almost every night). In the middle of the house - the glass part, at every half level, there are matching caricatures or whatever you call 'em, placed at the glass.

And below, we came across this house, building-in-progress, which has it's third floor only surrounded by glass. It'd be really cool if it were a gym or music room up there. (:

While walking at one of the back alleys, I saw this modern house with many Japanese banners hanging at the back, which made it look interesting amidst the other dull-er houses.

In the back lane of the back lane.

Old house, old windows.

The type of house rarely seen in Singapore, but still, it looked really good. There was even a gym with glass panels in between the two blocks of houses.

The one below, I think it's green certified, or at least, they considered the ventilation more than other houses I've seen.

After walking through squeezy Little India since it's a Sunday night, which both of us stupidly forgot, here's a view of somewhere between Boon Keng and Potong Pasir (next to The Aberdeen, actually).

And below's one of the countless Deepavali decorations at Little India. I didn't know Deepavali was coming...

The one below! It's really cute! The restaurant was so beautifully decorated that I could not resist taking pictures of.

And then at Broadway (the place where people take studio photos when they graduate..?), we saw these cute life-size bears.

And then we went home, and I had dinner, soaked my sore feet and then took a bath. GOOD NIGHT!

mrglue:

Yoyoyo! Ok wow, Giselle prolly covered just about everything we both saw and "scrutinized". Add an add-on: I couldn't resist taking a closer-up shot at Giselle's "dream house", so that you guys would be able to catch a glimpse of why she's so in love with it woahahaha. Take a look:

You see what I see? You understand what I mean? That's really architectural eye candy to me. We moved on because we were in a rush after that, and also because a nosy neighbour was standing around with his poodle looking at us. How I'd wish Ah Pui was with us at the time haha.

I don't have much to work on the next house, the one with the pool. Blame it on my height, my photography skills (or lack of), or whatever else you can think of. Because the only shot I managed even after tiptoeing and stretching my arm out (at the risk of the nosy neighbour's judgement) was this:

Ok, nuff' said.

Both of the next two places we ealked past on our way out of the estate area caught my eye. Prolly becuse both didn't look local (note: desire to reside overseas).
