omg this is so good!
wat cam u using? i believe u're using auto all the way?
if u can, esp when u are taking shots where there's an overcast sky
(which is 99% of the time over there!) and bldgs are in shadow, try
to use an exposure compensation of at least +2/3. the button
usually has a +/- sign on black and white background
respectively.
by doing this, u're actually telling the cam to use it's meter, but
make it brighter by the setting u put (in this case i recommended
+2/3), so ur sky will be white anyway, but ur bldgs will have more
detail, and not so dark. 
things are ok here. waiting for u come back then we go sentosa! and
i'll MOST LIKELY have a big mama zoom then... u thot the last rig
was heavy.. ehhe try this one on for size.
