~~esplanade - theatres on the bay ~~
This is the new performing arts centre in Singapore. It is nicknamed Durian due to the design of the outer cladding of it's twin domes. The "spikes" are acctually sun shades to prevent the Concert hall and Theatre inside from heating up under the hot sun.
A durian is a spikey round fruit that stinks but is very nice to eat (only to some people.)

~~ Espla-NAID vs. Espla-NARD ~~
What's your stand?
Espla-NAID or Espla-NARD?
Espla-NAID is the English pronounciation of Esplanade. In French, it is Espla-NARD.
Let's ask some people for their opinion.(btw, all this "opinions" are made up by me so no offence meant.)
Me: Espla-NARD (DUH!)
Shu Ping: Espla-NAID
The PQ: huh!?!? *runs off to do A-Maths*
some random person who is very ulu(country bumkin-like): huh??? I thought it was called the Singapore Arts Centre (me: *faints*)
The people from Passion 99.5: Well, both pronuciations work and it's ok as long as people get our message. (me: *protests* but it's Espla-NAID mostly on Passion 99.5. your fault I'm saying Espla-NAID more and more. haha.. but I still love Passion 99.5)
The S Gang: DURIAN!!! DUH!!! if not what..!?!?!? (me: *gags self* no comments....)
