My Favorite Shoes


Timberland's Power Lounger Low
These brown Timberland have accompanied me almost 2 years, and I still love wearing them. They are so comfortable and keep my feet dry. I don't regret buying these shoes. Worth my money.


The only thing I don't like about these shoes is they are made using suade fabric, which is very hard to clean. It took me about 15-20 minutes to clean them and they are still not completely clean.


Inside the shoes are using smartwool technology which Timberland claims to "act as a climate control, wicking moisture and keeping feet warm, dry and odor free" according to the brochure.


Pedro's Suade Blended
Another suede shoes that I like. But thank God they are not completely suade. Still have leather in it. Make it easier to clean them since the suade area is smaller.




These Pedro have been with me about 6 months. Two weeks ago, Pedro had warehouse sale. The discount is quite big which is about 40-70%. Although I did not buy anything from that sale, I am still happy because my shoes are not on discount. They are still in their original price. :D

The tickleart Series

tickleart is a series of exhibitions held in showcases lining a tunnel of CityLink heading towards Esplanade. This series features artworks that seek to examine the issue of 'value' in the physical and ideological spaces between capitalism, consumerism and art.

- From Arto Mato Website -

The showcase started since April 2004. Each artwork is exhibited for a period of about 2 months.

« I forgot to take note about this showcase.
I guess this work is from Jon Chan collaborated with Rirkrit Tiravanija? »

Superstring - Joshua Yang






Superstring by Joshua Yang
Exhibition @ Concourse, Esplanade
7 Apr - 1 Jul 07

Created by Joshua Yang, an engineer turned sculptor, Superstring - a series of single continuous line drawings is a site-specific installation consisting of drawings done on rolls of canvas stretched across pulleys and rollers and moved along in circular loops by electric motors in the fashion of conveyor belts or travellators. These drawings are done in a single continuous line with no breaks or overlaps. The concept behind the mode of drawing in a single continuous line ties in with the Superstring Theory which postulates that all matter in the universe is made up of and connected by tiny symmetrical vibrations called strings. The significance of connections and drawing parallels between science and art becomes apparent in the installation which couples art (in drawings) and science (motors and pulleys).

Merlion - The Symbol of Singapore
« The Merlion was designed by Mr Fraser Brunner, a member of the souvenir committee and a curator of the Van Kleef Aquarium. The lion head represents the lion spotted by Prince Sang Nila Utama of Sri Vijaya Empire when he re-discovered Singapura in 11 AD, as recorded in the "Malay Annals". The fish tail symbolises the ancient city of Temasek (meaning “sea” in Javanese) by which Singapore was known before the Prince named it “Singapura” (meaning “lion” (singa) “city” (pura) in Sanskrit), and represents Singapore’s humble beginnings as a fishing village.

Luge
« Quite exciting attraction.
I took the Hot Deal package where you can get 3 times ride and 3 times skyride for $16. Usually 1 ride and 1 skyride are $9. »



SkyRide
« Catherine, the girl with red helmet, accidentally dropped her left sandal when riding the skyride, just after she said to take care the sandals they wore. :D
Fortunately, it was fallen not far from the starting point. Hence the skyride guard could retrieve it easily. »
