A FinE LinE

was at orchard ytd.. went to the new malls - ion and central.. impressive buildings.

*

ion's exterior gave me the feel as if i was in las vegas. all the colorful bright lights.... 五光十色.. and with all the branded shops... it gave me the impression as if i was in some rich, sophisticated land. the feeling is weird but it's like going into a virtual rich world and losing the reality.. o well..

*

the thing i love abt central is that there are many seats for pple to sit down and rest, something rare in shopping centres nowadays. pros and cons cux some pple really doze off while sitting there and it doesnt make the picture looks good. but central has a very very wierd layout. unlike most shopping centres whereby it's wide and spacious and u get to see everything once u enter the mall, central has many narrow pathways. it's like you have to cross one narrow pathway b4 u get to see another side of the mall. perhaps many of the shops are still renovating, tt's y. anyway, it's a super tall bulding and there are many exterior long escalators. not advisable to take them if ur wearing skirt. many shops and new restarants but all looked expensive... real tough competition out there.

was walking along the street when we came across a large crowd. and so, they were looking at this street artiste 'painting'. painting in inverted commas cux he's not using brush and paint, but rather, spray paints.

*

*
if his works are all truly done using solely sprays, then i must say, it's really impressive. look at these...

*

*

and then, a tot crossed my mind. using the spray to spray on paper with some artistic touch = a piece of inspiring artwork. but using the spray to spray on public properties or other pple's properties = vandalism + fine + jail term + cane.

*

how fine is the line of differentiation huh?

*

similarly was at one of the top levels of central when we saw construction workers working on the buliding opposite. this particular worker was at this super dangerous spot whereby he will fall if he missed a footing. then he was supposed to put some heavy metal thing in place. many pedestrains were walking below the building and if his hand slips, the metal will juz fall and dont know how many pple will get hurt.

*

at that point, i tot to myself - arent his hands juz as important as the hands of a surgeon???

*

now where is the line again??
