Thanks to Courts Singapore, this blogger here attended the one night only Duran Duran Singapore concert in Singapore Indoor Stadium. The concert was super good! The British boy band played evergreen favourites songs like James Bond movie's 'A view to a kill', 'The Reflex' and 'No ordinary world'. The crowd in the Indoor Stadium totally enjoyed the experience. Awesome concert and we had excellent maroon seats with a good view.         Well, Duran Duran is on a worldwide tour, hope they will stop over in your country. The 4 Duran Duran boys - Simon Le Bon, John Taylor, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor - showed the crowd why they are still the best during this world concert tour promoting their latest album, All You Need Is Now.

Went to eat at the award winning Blue Ginger Restaurant which serves excellent Perankan food. The Blue Ginger is located in the Tanjong Pagar area, Singapore. The sponsored lunch at Blue Ginger was all thanks to History Asia folks. The Perankan food served that day was so nice - had chicken, kuey pie tee, longan drink, otak, beef rendang, durian chendol and many good stuff. Have a good look at the pictures and feel very hungry.

On every Friday between 8pm-10pm in the Singapore Science Centre, the Observatory would be open for the public to gaze at stars and planets in the sky. The Obervatory is a big telescope and it would open out to the sky to see planets in our solar system. There would be other types of telescopes, albeit smaller ones, which help to see the stars and moon up close. The stars would look like tiny diamonds on the telescope. Do try and visit the Science Centre for a star gazing experience.

There is a new eating place named Careshop de Cafe which is located at 70 Bendemeer Road, Luzerne Building, which also has an 'Audio House' outlet there. The place is a really quiet and you can have a meal during the weekday evenings with minimal disturbances. We went there as a group of 4 and in the cafe there was only one other couple having a meal with white wine. We had baked rice pastas, spicy ramen bowl and japanese bento rice. I like the eating place's decorations which makes the cafe look happy.

Al Dente restaurant located at Colours of the Bay, Esplanade, Singapore, serves fine Italian food. Well, we had dinner at Al Dente. We were there to try out their thin crusted $10 pizzas which were on promotion. We had the salmon pizza and anchovies (salted fish) pizza. Pretty nice and love the thin crusted pizza taste. Nice place also for a conversation with your loved one.
