How to Brighten and Ordinary Day ?


With enough rain falling in the last 24 hours to fill a dam or ten, it's a little difficult to do anything that doesn't involve a shopping centre or eating when the weather is this bad. If you don't already know shopping and eating are the national sports in Singapore.


Anyway today I took a tour of this fine - though very wet city. It wasn't just any tour it was a tour of the beautiful house's that are in this city. We learnt about all the different cultures that have helped mould the style of house's that are scattered thoughout the different areas.



The colours of the tiles and the pastel walls, the sloping roofs, the great company (as always, thanks Kim) all helped to make a very ordinary day into an extraordinary day.



So if you ever find yourself in Singapore, rip yourself away from the shopping centres and the restaurants and take a wander down some of the side streets and look around, you will be amazed at the beautiful colours, the interesting architecture and enjoy another side of Singapore, cause I did and I still have a smile on my dial.
