Long hiatus right?
Hhaha no fret, i'm back again because i've found something to talk about.
(you might think the pictures have nothing to speak for themselves but just bear with me)
So...
I took a trip to Arab Street yesterday for my SE1101E fieldtrip report.
This was after my sis' recommendation, that i could find many things to observe and feel while there.
I didnt regret my decision to go there for my report because the whole place really gives you a feeling of nostalgia with old antique items and shopfront facades reminiscent of old-time singapore.
Let the pictures below do the talking.
Rows of colourfully-painted shop display windows and doors.

Grand Sultan Mosque, can be easily seen from afar.
 Beautiful pedestrian walkway of Bussorah Street Mall.

Very captivating picture.
I have always been captivated by the trademark picture that can be found in social studies textbooks.
It somehow brings me back to the past.

Really liked the Balinese style of shopfront facade.

Little trinkets and sweets with a facade that brings me back to the past.

Nice archway.

Giant shisha hookah outside a Mediterranean restaurant.

Rattan baskets of beautiful reddish and brownish hues.
The white ones are also not bad.

Nice wall colour and windows. (good photography? haha ok joking!) A pity this egyptian restaurant was closed, i guess it opens at night. But the blue tall windows caught my eye, thus i took a photo of them.
(again good photography? again joking!)

Mosi Cafe that serves Moroccan food.

Seriously the food is veryyy delicious and also huge servings!

Value for money, i would say.
Nice female owner inside although english not too good.
Interior of the cafe, i had to sit on the carpeted floor because of the low tables.
It is the norm in Mediterranean countries.
Also i think if you patronise the cafe at night, it will be crowded with people smoking shisha.
(i would like to try that haha, joking!)

Huge shisha hookah display glass.
 A cup of espresso teh tarik.
While drinking it, i can imagine the drink contains camel milk because it is sort of a staple in Mediterranean countries.
Well yeah, it tasted weird and the wierdness came from the milk.

The chicken kofta with salad and fries i had for my lunch.
Absolutely delicious really!
Costs 12 bucks.
And very filling!
I had to force myself to finish the whole bowl, eventually leaving the peas and tomato slices behind.

A shop supposely Afghan i think (going by the words of greetings) selling imported Japanese products.
What a mix of culture!
...
Overall, Arab Street is a really nice place to go to to do your own reflection due to its laidback atmosphere.
And also numerous cultures can be found there.
Let me name some of them:
Afghan, Moroccan, Arab, Malay, Turkish, Egyptian, Indonesian, Peranakan and other middle eastern nationalities.
...
Today's the F1 race!
1st practice race starts at 7pm and the whole thing ends at 11.30pm i think.
Aunt is lucky to have her office located at the 50th floor of UOB Plaza Tower 1.
That means her office building directly faces almost the whole track circuit according to her.
Highly likely that she will stay back along with her colleagues to watch the race.
Lucky her...
