Elf's Shrine

*The Good And The Bad In A Day*

Yesterday was a busy day for me. First I went to the Botanic Gardens to
take part in the Olympus Experience. I'm still not impressed by the lady
who called me up to confirm the event and some other stuff but that's
another story. All in all, I kinda enjoyed the trip cos it made me leave
the home on a sunday morning.

After that, my friends and I went to Carl's Jr in Plaza Singapura. Had
lots of coke there.... Yummy. Perfect for a roaring hot day. We then
decided whether we wanted to watch the Change of Guards at the Istana or
go to the National Stadium to take photos of it before it is torn down.

We decided to go to National Stadium. We had a fine time there, it's
great to take photos of actually, until we got thrown out by a security
guy. There is a notice (A4 size paper on a notice board at the Gate near
SSC office) that states that you can't take photographs of SSC sports
facilities unless you have written approval , it's non commercial and
some other mumbo jumbo. What got me ticked was the way the security was
like :"Cannot take pictures, wait police catch".

I actually replied with:" Wah.. Police ah..." And the security went
:"Yeah yeah!"

Do I look like I'm 5 years old? Trembling at the slightest breath of the
word "Police"? Ah but rudeness is the way of life here isn't it. You'd
be odd if you attempted to be polite.

Passed by Indoor Stadium and decided to pick up my tickets to My Fair
Lady. More security hovering. I know they are simply jealous of my Nikon
D70 with 18-70MM lens that's hanging on my neck. Oh but my camera
doesn't really deserve all that attention you know. What if I were a
tourist ? Hmm. Let's not go thre shall we?

Anyway, my friends and I decided to go to a place called Crab Shack at
227, Upper Thomson Road. It serves crab dishes like Crab au Gratin, Crab
Samplers, Crab Baked Rice, 2 pc value meals which consists of 2 flower
crabs that has been caught by the owner that morning. Food is yummy and
cheap too! All in all, it's a nice and good place to eat at. Everyone
who isn't allergic to crabs/seafood should try it! I mentioned this to
my colleague and guess what? Apparently her friend has a share in the
Crab Shack. Talk about a small world.

So here it is again. Crab Shack , 227 Upper Thomson Road. It's not a
shop itself, it's a stall inside a shop with like 2-3 stalls. A muslim
food stall is in the front of the shop and they are beside a dentist and
a fish eatery.
