#39 - Did you say food?

Yknow, after taking my last paper, I somehow don't get the feeling that I am on a holiday. I mean, I sleep in late and wake up when the sun has risen past the buildings but I don't feel free. I figure it's because I have interviews coming and meetings for FYP thus the feels. Anyhoo, I really miss Tiong Bahru and all the great spots that are so picture perfect. oh, not to mention the FOOD; 'cos like helloooo when you're Singaporean, food is essential and food is life. Here's part II of the trip!

#38 - District Hipster

It was a workout - both physically and on my tummy. We tried to explore Tiong Bahru where it is said to be the home ground for hipsters, non-mainstream decor and good food. (the important word to note here is TRIED. I bet you missed that.) Stepping out of Tiong Bahru Plaza and about a 3 minute walk, I started seeing buildings from the past. Not more than 3 storey buildings greeted us amongst the construction of high-risers and then I couldn't put down my camera. It's hard to believe sometimes that these places still exist in Singapore and it would be a shame if our future generation don't get to see it.
