Continuing on from the previous posting, this is another photo taken minutes after.
By the way, I came across this Pro Power 4GB SD Card which i think is way cool. I will probably buy 2 of these for my upcoming trip to Malaysia, enough to last me at least 3 days.
Walking is one of my favourite hobbies. I used to walk around Singapore within 3 days with a permanent 20kg load in my backpack (stuffed with phonebooks and sandbags) to train for a gruelling mountain climbing expedition. I have to admit I’m very out of shape now, and I envy these guys who did their grafity defying stunts with relative ease.
This dirt track requires a little walking before you get to the entrance. It was raining the whole day and we were so worried that our stuff would be soaked. But we did it anyway. I didn’t want to miss the fun.
I have been stuck at sea for the past 2 days. Its not a pleasant experience especially when one has not gotten used to the rolling and pitching on board after an absence of a year. I am not unfamiliar with the sea, having served more than 2 years in the coast guard, but sometimes it just takes some time to get used to it.
Its getting hotter and hotter here in Singapore. Do remember to drink lots of water.
Another photo taken at Lower Pierce Reservoir. This was taken slightly earlier than this other photo .
Inch gives her heart out during the memorable set at Baybeats 2007.
Allura is one of the better bands in Singapore to catch. I like them because of their good guitar riffs and progressive song writing. Allura played at Baybeats 2007 alongside other great bands like Plain Sunset, Stentorian, March Twelve, Monofone and more.
I find it insane to take a 6.00am flight from Changi Airport. First of all, you have to wake up at 3.00am which effectively means you don’t get much sleep at all. I mean, who are you kidding, everyone packs their bags at the last minute and sleep a little later than usual the night before a trip. Then comes the insane drive up to Changi Airport. My parents were off to a trip somewhere which makes me the designated driver. I have taken 6.00am flights before but I kinda sympathize the old folks for having to go through all the trouble.
And then comes the insane sunrise moment. Taken before heading to work.
So when was the last time you did something insane?
Tigers are beautiful and elegant animals. Proud and territorial, they’re the epitome of the fearsome hunter. This white tiger, found in the Singapore Zoological Gardens at Mandai keeps a close watch on his visitors as feeding time approaches. I personally love his colour.
The rising cost of car ownership in Singapore has nurtured innovation at an early age. Kids turned a box into a playground of sorts. All they need now is a downslope.
This photo was taken 2 years ago when I went to explore the train station at spooner road. I wonder how old they are.
This is one of the best fondues ever. Swensens has a range of delightful ice-cream scoops, chocolate brownies, bananas, cherries,wafers and strawberries dipped in the hot chocolate fondue and then rolled in a bowl of nuts, a great treat for the sweet tongue buds. I love the great variety and how the hot chocolate simply hardened into a sweet coating that melt in the mouth.If you have a sweet tooth or simply want to have a sugar rush, you should try this out at Swensens Vivo. You get a treat to your tastebuds and also enjoy the nice scenery of Sentosa. How cool is that?
I joined a friend one fine sunday morning to Dairy Farm Hill to catch a mountain bike race organised by SACA. The trail was narrow and meandering so a lot of observation and common sense is required to get what you want here. You’ve got to imagine yourself as a biker negotiating those tight corners before you can possibly prepare your gear and hide in a corner hoping that things happen.
After walking against the flow of the track for about 20 minutes, I noticed a beautiful ray of light coming thru the dense tree leaves. I knew I had to wait out for this keeper. It turned out to be a good wait.
I remember passing by Bugis Junction every night back when I was still doing my uni studies. The fountain would never fail to attract the attention of every single kid. Much like how the Sirens lured lonely sailors out at sea. So much that they want to get wet as soon as possible. Now we know how to get kids to take regular showers at home.
For those with kids, this is a good place to bring them kids with the water fountains after a long day of shopping. But please, leave the soap and scrub at home?If you are ever in dire need of some inspiration I suggest you head down here and watch the kids play. This is one of my favourite haunts. Kids somehow don’t seem to know they are being watched, especially when they are fully occupied with their fountain fun. Doesn’t this just bring back memories?
Do you know that you can get some great bargains here? I would put it as a distant resemblance of Chatuchak Market in Bangkok.
Sometimes certain things just happen unplanned. In this instance, I was just about to finish an outdoor fashion shoot when I noticed that the cable cars going from Mount Faber to Sentosa were actually visible from where I stood. They casted an amazing silhoutte across the sun which I enjoyed viewing very much. It was one of those times where you would rather sit and watch. I took this photo for memory sake, to remind me of how sometimes you make the biggest mistakes at the most crucial of times.
Have you tried sky dining? I was thrilled when I had an opportunity to have dinner in a cable car. The view was amazing and the food was delightful too. We spent about 2 hours having a 3 course meal and we managed to enjoy the sunset too.
There are a lot of good places to take good landscape photos in Singapore. One such place is Lower Pierce Reservoir. This was taken at around 7.30am.
