When it was almost evening, we prepared ourselves to go for dinner... from Ibis Hotel, we have to walk quite a distance to Holiday Inn for our dinner.....
Feeling refreshed after a day's rest in the hotel...
The view from our hotel..
and our walking journey began to start....
we passed by this beautiful building...
and it was actually School Of Art in Singapore...
Dance is Music Made Visible,.... true?
We also passed by Cathay... looks like an antique building, right?
Since we are here, we might as well go in and have a look, right?
Before we do, let's take a picture first.....
More or less, it is sort of a "breather" for me...
The walk from Bencoolen to Orchard Road is not near...
Nevertheless, we prefer to walk than taking MRT....
Half hour walk is a norm for us now.. hahahaa...
That is our plan... to get some exercise before our buffet dinner!
Singapore is beautiful! So this particular building not occupied?
ReplyDeleteOh. There is still a Cathay building there? yeah. Look old and antique. Still screen movies? Wonder how it look inside? Old or modernized?
ReplyDeleteNot far leh. Aiyor...Cathay now looks like thatkah?
ReplyDeleteOpps!!..last time we have a cinema named Cathay in Kuching but now demolised already. Andy has those trade marks like yours, hehehe!!!...like mother like son.
ReplyDeleteThis school of art thingy looks interesting, never heard about it before, wonder what else's inside? :D
ReplyDeleteThis was what Cathay looked like in 1973 -

ReplyDeleteClaire, I can see the weather is good for a walk. I don't mind doing that too since it can burn up some calories.
ReplyDeleteI love the buildings and houses in Singapore! How I wish I could migrate there.
ReplyDeleteginny: it has become a mall besides the cineplex..
ReplyDeleterose: they turned into a mall and also the cinema become a cineplex.. I think! :)
stp: hey, you should come Ipoh and see... much worse.. last time Cathay used to be for the privileged..
ReplyDeleteirene: yes, many are being demolished in Malaysia.. pity..
Ken: not so sure what's inside the school of arts... academy..
ReplyDeletestp: wahhhhh... you also took a picture around there... cannot see too clearly but I think they are maintaining the building.. they should.. old buildings are much more solid those days!
kathy: will show.. but not so much on the food.. malu la!
ReplyDeleteling: yes, it was around 5.30 or so.. and the sun has set.. nice to walk..
TM: hey, next time you can migrate anywhere since your wife will be a Harvard PHD next time! :)

ReplyDeleteGreat walk Beingcoolend to Orchard Road.
ReplyDeleteirene: dont play play with Arthur, he is a teacher... he can remember the facts.. :)
ReplyDeletesharon: yes.. now still can walk.. hahaha...
merryn: prefer to walk cos MRT also need to walk up and down...
ReplyDeletebananaz: hehehee..as usual you are the creative one...
Haha, a walk once a while is definitely ok for everyone~
ReplyDeleteThe building is very nice ah. I like that sort of exterior outlook. How's it inside? Well maintained? Btw, I love the idea of you guys walking instead of taking the MRT...30 minutes of walk is definitely a good habit! :) Easier to do that in Singapore than in KL due to security reason though...
ReplyDeletegreat to have a relaxing holiday. More visits to sg for you. That's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGood to walk instead of taking MRT. 30 mins walk still doable. At least it is during the evening, not so hot. The Cathay building looks very antique.
ReplyDeleteLast week walking is crazy. Weather was so hot, 10 minutes walking and already sweating bullets. You walked for half hour? Wahh..
