a yuppy afternoon in singapore...

yesterday, my friends & i, in true yuppy fashion, went to the singapore botanic gardens and then watched their free screening of casablanca under the stars --- or rather, the purple-tinted sky.

there were literally more white people than singaporeans there. lots of ex-pats, newly-wed yuppy couples sipping on champagne, and lots of tiny dogs. and then, there were me & my friends on our cheap malaysian blankets nibbling on snacks from 7-11. oops.

the singapore botanic garden is really big. we were there for a couple hours before the movie started, and we only saw one section of the garden.

the gates leading to the singapore botanic garden

the section of the garden that we saw was the national orchid garden! really, really pretty :)

here are some of my favorite flowers!

and then we headed off the lawn to watch casablanca! oh, humphrey bogart, how dreamy! haha

this is naji in a bag

the old movie reels that they used to show casablanca

newly-wed yuppy couple with their 70$ picnic basket -- i was actually taking a picture of the screen, haha. oops.

waiting for casablanca to start ...

yayy~ casablanca! and then we ate at holland village -- sort of like, the adams morgan of singapore. hooray! the end.
