Electrico Vs 陈伟联

On Friday evening, i found out that NDP 2009 song was out. I listened to both the chinese (就在这里) and the english (What Do You See?) version of the song. I feel that Electrico's version was more edgy compare to 伟联's. The vocal are strong and powerful... It reach out to the listener more...

Kelvin's, on the other hand, was soothing but lack of identity... it will sounds like past year's song but yet lack of the 'proud to be Singaporean' feel. Did not read the lyrics for both the songs. But at least once you listen, you understand what i mean... Its downloadable from NDP official website.

I had a great day out today, walking down and up of Orchard with my heavy bag (containing A LAPTOP). Its tiring but i think it will burn away the 'sins' i ate for dinner and supper. Healthier dinner from Subway, but 'supper' was Cappucino Cheesecake from Starbucks with dark Chocolate.. Ended the night with Himalayan (Frappe) Tea from McCafe.. At the very least, the cheesecake was delicious... thick and smooth texture... not too sweet, not too sour... you need to savour the taste slowly... but one is enough. You can't eat more... or you will definitely be sick of it... My bros (hao & wen) support my idea of opening my own cafe... I am happy with that... A target was even set for me... to open by the age of 35... I will aim at that... First, was to gather recipes and improve my skills...

I also visited Orchard Central with Jin... It was a messy arranged buildings without an anchor tenant. 8 storeys high with a open air balcony which can provide a good view of Orchard Road at night. The design theme was seem to be metallic, mechanical style. I personally feel that too much space was wasted on the design of the building... Shops was made smaller and the corridors are pretty squeezy to accomodate the design of the building. A large area of the building was used to build hotel-like lifts. Many unique restaurants and sports-related stores are opened there. It can get tiring over shopping a place full of female oriented merchandise and restaurants. One advice to all, visit it ONLY when its fully open. As you may not want to go the second time after your first visit. B2 is under renovation and many other empty space are yet to be filled in.

Orchard ION looks beautiful from the outside... but it seems an VERY EXPENSIVE place to shop. Big names filled the front and i do not expect the inside to be too cheap. I will wait for this to open.... Orchard Road are gearing up to fend off Marina IR as the shopping heaven....
