The Place Around Me

anyways, i've finally walked outside of the house to go get some lunch. not too far, forgot to time (take that cpt jack), but it didn't feel much farther than what i walked in perth. it was a pleasant walk. saw a nice house:


i like the wood theme. there was a house in perth i saw with a japanese bent that i really liked. this reminded me of that. hehe. and then on with the big archways!


hehe, traipsing around, i've yet to see a freehold home in singapore that screams big. then again, i think i haven't been around enough. hehe. so finally, i got to the place. this is me espying it from afar.


in hindsight, it's a lousy shot. trees blocked too much. ah well. but there's a lot of cars. the car culture thing is something i have to get used to. cars are not a luxury here as they are in singapore -- they are a necessity. ratio's around 1.8 persons : 1 car. perth's about the same though the total population is smaller so the gridlock problems aren't as significant as they are here. on the other hand, it makes mega stores a lot more workable than in singapore. good boot space. :) anyhoo, here's my lunch.


makes me think of my $2 vegetable rice really except it cost about 2.5 times as much. of course it tasted better and the portions are pretty big and i get soup. hehe. ah well, i'm learning to cook dumplings now. i'll take pictures when i finally get them decent. lol.
