Retro Day

I think my blog is getting "older" these days. Digging out those treasures of sepia-coloured pictures from the past and put it up - which I think my mum will probably kill me for exposing her in those uber-retro tu-tu outfit - and even uploaded some Chinese old tunes, must be real mawkish to many my blog is.

Anyway, yesterday I was out with The Couple to catch Hairspray, which I think was an enjoyable musical film to watch. So much so that it makes dear girl Kalyn wanted to get a beehive hair for herself.

Who would knew James Marsden could portray so well as a bubbly show host, far contrast from his down serious "Cyclops" role in X-Men? Plus, I have to say HSM's Zac Efron really has a pair of beautiful, electrifying eyes! *faints* haha.

Just like they had a Negro Day in the movie where every week a day will be reserved for the Blacks to strut their dance stuff on television, yesterday was a Retro Day for me.

Aside from catching the movie which is full of 60s-flavour, singing, dancing, and hairspray(!), we went to have a hearty meal of roti-pratas at The Prata Place, which is located at Upper Thomson Road and where I'd always hangout during my JC days; and that's before I brought The Couple to a place where probably not many people would have visited - Upper Seletar Reservoir.

There are a few reasons why I wanted to visit that place. Firstly, I haven't been there for years. Secondly, I wanted to watch the setting of the sun from the viewing tower there. Thirdly, I wanted to reminisce the days when my dad and mum would come here for their dates.

About Seletar Reservoir, it's actually quite an old-school place that has been around since the 70s, and its most distinct feature is the space shuttle-shaped viewing tower there. I love the tranquility and peaceful environment of the reservoir. It's away from the noisy urban areas, very open-spaced that you could see the wide blue sky, and as I mentioned earlier, a perfect spot to catch the beautiful sun-setting scene.

Definitely a must-visit place for all lovebirds. =)
