Hello everyone!
First and foremost, I'd like to thank dragonxpuppy for hosting my song - Singapore's National anthem. Thank you so much! ^^
Now everyone can sing along! Here are the lyrics, once again! ^^
MAJULAH SINGAPURA
Mari kita rakyat Singapura
Sama-sama menuju bahagia
Cita-cita kita yang mulia
Berjaya Singapura
Marilah kita bersatu
Dengan semangat yang baru
Semua kita berseru
Majulah Singapura
Majulah Singapura
I know I said in my previous post that I won't be changing my background anytime soon, but I can't resist this beautiful picture of the Esplanade. ^^ (I took this picture from TrekEarth.com - wonderful website, that is!)
The building is unique as it it shaped like a durian. Durian looks like this:
See the resemblance? Singaporeans have this thing about durians. They - durians, I mean - can be found almost everywhere in Singapore. There's one whole stretch of road where all the stalls sell durians near my home.
Durians have a powerful smell, so they aren't allowed to be brought aboard public transports or air-conditioned places. Some people, like me, like the smell. Other people can't stand the smell of durian. Most foreigners detest the durians - mostly because of the smell, I guess. But it's quite delicious, though I refrain from taking it as it is a heaty food.
This is the sign commonly seen in train stations.
The best thing about durians is opening it. I love to open durians, but not eat them. The way they are opened up interests me. And the inside -
- it really is 'cute' how the yellow part - the part that you eat - is positioned. ^^
Durians are very versatile. You can use it to make cakes, cream puffs, a sort of yogurt - I don't know what it's called in English, and lots more. You can even eat it with rice! Cool, huh?
One of the things that makes Singapore Singapore is the durians. And of course, the Esplanade - some calls it "Durian"... you know why... because it resembles the durians! - where art performances and theatre productions can be enjoyed by everyone. ^^
Hope you enjoyed my input on durians.
Have a nice day! ^^
