The Red Dot Design Museum

Entrance to Singapore’s Red Dot Design Museum is free on the first weekend of each month, so my coworkers and I decided to pop in one Saturday. (Wondering about the name? Locals fondly refer to Singapore as the “little red dot”, because that’s how the tiny city-state appears on most world maps.)

My hyper-abbreviated review: There were some interesting displays but nothing worth the $8 entrance fee, if one were to drop by on a regular day. We did manage to snap a few cool photos, though ;)

Obligatory tourist shot. It’s impossible to miss the colonial building that houses the museum. It’s painted fire-engine red and takes up an entire block.

G-max Reverse Bungy

My F1-crazy friend, Chrissa, came to Singapore to watch the night race last September. While she was here, we jumped at the chance to get flung into the air on the G-max Reverse Bungy ride at Clarke Quay. We loved it! A couple of lessons learned:

  • Wear pants instead of a miniskirt.

Below is a video of our ride. The scream you’ll hear during the release came from the guy holding the camera :P

We also went on the tamer GX-5 Xtreme Swing, but we unfortunately didn’t manage to get a video of that.

Singapore Skies

One of the things I almost always do when I find myself outdoors holding a camera is to point the lens skyward. Here are two shots of the sky in two different places in Singapore at two different times: Tampines at dusk and Raffles City at noon.

Excuse Me While I Squeal

Nothing like exciting news to break a four-month blogging dry spell, I always say. So guess what? Both my blog and my portfolio site were featured in the recently released Web Designer’s Idea Book by Patrick McNeil, the creator of DesignMeltdown.com!

The Web Designer's Idea Book

I finally got my copy in the mail yesterday, and I spent approximately four and half minutes giggling with glee. Forgive my excitement, but this would probably be the one and only time my name would be mentioned in a book. I’m allowed to be ecstatic!

The Sky Above Our Office

Our office has a small courtyard filled with large potted plants, some taller than I (and one we named Gilbert, just because). Sometimes when I get sick of staring at my computer, I step out for a few minutes of sunshine.

In other news, my online portfolio is a finalist at Unique CSS. If it ranks highest at the end of the month, I will get $25. Cue shamelessness. If you have a bit of time, drop by and give my site a 7 rating!
