The Financial District above is home to many banks and financial institutions. It is filled with skyscrapers that lend Singapore its distinctive skyline. The most prominent buildings here are the UOB Plaza and OUB Centre (along Boat Quay), both skyrocketing to the maximum permissible height of 280 metres.






This is my neighborhood, Holland Village. A small commercial enclave near the Buona Vista MRT Station in Singapore. A popular venue for younger Singaporeans and expatriates, it is dominated by, and often visited solely, for its eateries and watering holes, along with some specialist shops selling non-traditional wares. The place is sometimes referred as "Holland V". Holland Village will get its own MRT station in 2010 with the same name.

Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple - ஸ்ரீ வீரமாகாளியம்மன் கோவில் is a Hindu temple located in the middle of Little India in the southern part of Singapore, dedicated to the Hindu goddess Kali. It was built in 1881.
