urban wasteland: ubiquitous shopping in singapore.

ghetto pseudo tour guide quest's end *yawn* greeness & the golf club

thursday was declared shopping day, so we headed to orchard road. not orchid as in singapore's national flower, but orchard.
mcdonalds catering to the demands of the locals. fried chicken at mcdonalds competes with kfc here!
a black tip shark in an aquarium in citylink, the underground (yes, really underground) shopping center.
catfight for clothes. there was a huge sale apparently.
some mall. *yawn*
most of the items one can buy in singapore can be bought in the us as well. bo-ring!
but perhaps not the roasted suckling pig!!
johnny rockets imitation.
tempting. oh so tempting. thoughts of redemption from supercompuing '96 swirled through my head.
but we pressed on. to food street.
jenee would probably like this bar. meow, meow!!
new, young, sexy, big, and exotic!? oh yeah, that's me alright! haha...
2 x 2 dj set by some 16-year-olds.
you can't see it but the girl on the left played the game with these ridiculous shoes. clomp, clomp!!
damn, my favorite dish is on leave!! ah well, next time perhaps.
chin is an eating machine. he kind of reminds me of an anteater. don't ask me why.
i hate vegetables.
random things in a random mall. i visited 10 or so malls that day on orchard road and at the day's end i was emptyhanded. singapore shopping is boooooring!
some fancy mall.
another.
a friendly girl whose american name is jazz! jazz, eh? so where's trance, techno, and house? haha.. or jazz as in jazz in the transformers! transformers - more than meets the eye! here at her internet cafe, i read an email from sandy that i will never forget . . .
not a photoshop effect, just a curved building.
as strict as the laws supposedly are, i didn't find singapore to be any cleaner than most cities in the us.
here's where unskilled workers go to learn how to read manuals on how to configure cisco routers and become members of the singaporean it workforce!
tip for travellers: do not eat at economical rice and seafood!
just looking at this photo makes me ill. bleck.
