I loved these buildings! So different yet blends in well with the city. there is something fluid about these buildings. which is more than i can say of the esplanade which is meant to be the iconic building in my city singapore. that just sticks out like a sore thumb. Do you like this architecture as well? What is your favourite building? share a picture of it if you have one. You can also guess where these buildings are located. I'm not revealing it yet cos of another discussion where I asked folks to guess where another nice building was located.:) Will update here in due time.

Effiel tower - What used to be a sore sight for many is now a wonder of the world!
ha ha ha ha ha... that is a good way to put it. Sticks out like a sore thumb. Well, if I remember correctly, the Paris Effiel tower was also the thorn in many people's side when it was first erected for the art festival back then. 1852 if I remember it correctly. Give it some time. It may turn out to be as popular as the Effiel tower in the next decade or two. Only time will tell!

I am not a pessimist. Well, a slim chance is still a chance. As long as there is a chance, it is still a chance. Only time will tell whether it will go in the way of the Effiel.

It looks familiar but i cant say where exactly is it.. hehe =D Yeah, our esplanade is just like a durian, with nothing much inside, and i guess the view from the top and outsdie of esplanade is much better than being inside the building itself.. lol
