ura n recurrent musings
went to ura’s exhibition on our urban architecture today. there’s alot to see surprisingly. its an architect’s paradise. impressive r the huge models of the cbd. n there’s another one of the whole mainland. it also features prominant projects done by our local architects dating from the late 70s. these projects vary greatly in their nature, from small residential housing, schools, gardens to high-budget condos n office towers. u can also see a change in building styles from the past to present; compare the futuristically brutalist jurong town hall wif the very recently completed one raffles quay. the latter is clad in glass instead of concrete, n from a personal perspective, not very original. uninspiring.
the exhibition also showcases in detail plans for the future development of the marina bay area. which sounds realli exciting. in 20 yrs time, s’pore’s skyline wd b totally different. videos of interviews wif pioneering s’pore architects were also veri insightful. as they shared their dreams, aspirations, i cdn’t help but feel inspired. at the same time i also kept asking myself, “will i ever get there?” it feels veri uncertain n exciting, but also at the same time scary. fear of disappointment. a veri thought provoking n educational exhibition.
today i turn 19. celebrated it by a dinner wif my parents. they r huge emotional pillars in my life. sometimes i wonder wad i wd b without them, which makes me feel so dependent on them. they shielded me from the outside world, n when i stepped out of that pampered, sheltered cocoon they built over me, i felt so naked n helpless. i guess i haf a long way to go to grow up. to those dat remembered, thank u for the wishes n the presents. it was a pleasant surprise. thank u so much.
oh one more thing dat realli made my night was dis realli hot beauty i saw while having my dinner. she was wearing dis sexy blue dress. both father n son turned our heads then quickly turned away cos paiseh mah. then we stole a second glance cos it was just irresistible. she was a mixed blood, tanned skin, dark brown hair, sparkling lips n eyes, n her curves... an unforgettable sighting.
