Fish Food
I smoked 2 sticks of Ciggarets outside Central Mall, and fed the butts to the fishes. With my.... possible future wife. There would be shopping malls under the water.
One Night Hug
I will never forget that spot, overlooking the glittering watter of the bay, where you hugged me and held my hand for the first and last time this lifetime. I wish you well, although we may never speak again. (@ ...
What it was before
This is the row of shophouses where my great grandmother used to live. Even though its been completely re-done, she still could point out the exact place she used to live in, before it became a tourist trap. (@ Clarke ...

“$30 Dollars”
Clark Quay = Alcohol. After a few drinks, some friends dared me to jump into the river. I did it for 30$. (Asking price was 50). The river bottom has glass pieces. My feet were cut up. (@ Clarke Quay)
Travelling on the Water Again
It would be amazing to take a boat/sampan (man-rowed) down the singapore River, travelling downstream in the early morning and up in the evening. I can imagine pretty umbrellas and portable fans on the boats, people going back to basics! ...
Free Space for the Punks!
In 2007, a punk show was held in an abandoned building in Robertson Quay. 200 punks showed up. It was an awesome site. The authorities don't know about it. :) (@ Roberston Quay Old Factory, Demolished)
Waiting to Watch
It was a muggy evening - no breeze, no cool. Only sweat. As I waited to see "The Island" I sat and watched the water flow... slow. (Near the Gallery Allson Hotel)
Chocolate Brown
I saw the Singapore River turned a light chocolate brown from its previous bluish-green waters (due to the recent floods)

Raiders of the Lost Parliament House
The new Parliament had just finished construction. I snuck inside. Everything was still covered in dusty plastic. It was like ancient ruins, falling up. (@ Parliament House)
Psychic Spies
High on laughter and secondhand smoke, I took off my shoes and jumped into the river on a whim (and got pulled out by the police!) (@ Esplanade Bay)
A Cantonese Boy

LKY’s Ark
Forward-looking city builds an ark in anticipation of the rising sea-level. (@ Marina Bay Ark)
On the bonette
Had good time on my car watching the skyline. Big land, nobody around. 2010. Buildings rise from open land. No more adventure. (@ IR)
The Floating Tree
One day, I saw a tree floating in the middle of the river, surrounded completely by water.
The Real Bay + its Rival
A strange exchange at the Marina Bay City Gallery, where I saw the model bay in front of the real thing... "How do you work the bay?" "Push the button." "This one?" "Never mind." (@ Marina Bay City Gallery)

Saw a school of 15-20 fishes swimming in the clean(-ish) river water. Wildlife! (@ Outside UOB Plaza 1)
Hopes and Dreams
My then boyfriend and I made a pact to stay together. We wrote our wish on a paperboat and released it. As expected, after a while, the boat sank, just like the relationship. (@ those few steps)
Dry on the Quay
This is where my friends and I hung out after the most important exam in our lives. We had no alcohol because we were still in school uniform. Pity. (@ Boat Quay puddle)
Pink when swimming
After the first MTV Asia Awards, Pink (the singer) being too drunk, went for a dip in the river to cool off. (@ Boat Quay)
Wouldn’t Come
Asked her from Lisbon to meet but she wouldn't. So had beer and sms her. Oh well. One year later we're married. (@ Clarke Quay)
Unofficial Pub: 7-11
So apparently the 7-11 at the end of the bridge is where eveyrone goes to get sloshed before plunging into the Clarke Quay. They sit on the parapet of the bridge and litter it with beer cans. When I tried ...

My boyfriend and I sat at this very place and envisioned opening a boating company and being opposite in one of the nice condos. I believed I said it might not be a great idea cause the river is known ...
