Archive for February, 2012

I love taking pictures, especially street photography. Like interacting with people. Discovering new places. Revisiting familiar sights. Sometimes I could yak with strangers for hours like a tape recorder on repeat rewind. And sometimes, i could be timid like a mouse.

Little India is a small part of Singapore. If you walk really fast back and forth, it takes you maximum 45 mins. But there are so much things happening, so much to see, to ask and to do. These flowers are for prayers, and maybe to dress up the Deity’s statue that one has at home.

One of the few Chinese Pawn shops in the area. If you are looking to buy gold, pawn gold, Little India is the place to go to.

Its also the mobile phone city. If you would spend time asking from shop to shop, am sure you will get a good discount.

I have a knacked of interrupting people, don’t I?

“Can i take your picture ?” The head went side to side but not really side to side, its also up and down at the same time. I figured that’s a “Yes”.  Took me a few shots because he refused to look up. So i paused, waited till he decides to do so.

If you are looking to add some new life to your shirts, look for them tailors along Serangoon Road. By adding a few colored flower fabric to the insides of collar and cuffs, you will have a Paul Smith lookalike….not bad for $8 bucks.

Make shift stalls are aplenty.

I think i just found the pair of jeans i threw away last week :)

Raining ?

The rain came after threatening for the whole afternoon. Argh…..end of my day….

Slow walk, rest the feet and grab some lunch. Fantastic Mutton Nasi Biryani in Little India. Owner of Blue Diamond does them so well. Long Grained Basmati Rice, evenly spiced and with the spine of the lamb . A secret, because the meat at the spine is one of the tender moist, softest part.

“Mr Blue Diamond” is not around today. His son, Sham was ready to take over the reins.

That just means more Nasi Biryani to come ! :)

*Burp

Weather, checked. Bathing suit, checked.

Money, checked. Sun block lotion, checked. Dog, checked. Camera, checked.

Am not a creature of the sea. I do a little bit of diving…erm…10 years ago. But nothing since then, i prefer the cleaner swimming pools where i seem to be able to remember the time to get out of the sun’s rays.

I never fail to end up like a Boston Lobster at the beach……have no idea why.

Palawan beach at Sentosa, Coastes Bar, Singapore. For those who think Singapore is a complete concrete jungle, wrong. They have some of the nicest beach bars around. Don’t expect the drinks and sun beds to come cheap though. Funny thing is that a large part of this island is man made. The pristine fine beach and sand you are seeing ? Man Made, Imported from Indonesia. There’s a joke that if you take a bottle of sand with you, you are stealing from the country. Duh….

Blue Chairs at the beach. If only they come in Tiffany Blue…..

Someone’s enjoying herself.

ehem…so is she.

Was tempted to get a Mojito from the cool beach bar in the back and sit on the wooden deck in the sun. The thought that i could vaporized or turned into the most healthy looking Boston Lobster stopped me.

Envious……grrr

No…its not just a picture of the lady looking out to sea, feeling forlorn or maybe very pissed. Let me zoomed into the top right corner to show you.

This thing, a rather large monitor lizard was the star of that few minutes. It swam across the breach, grabbing everyone’s attention. Men gawked, Ladies squeal, Children impressed. How i wish i had the same attention :)

*Trying to look innocent again *…..hiding under some shade all the time.

35 Degrees celsius is too damn hot !! Shall quickly finished my waffles and go !!

Last Pic : Iphone 4s + Hipstamatic

I did nothing this weekend, walked the dog a little. Going through my library of photos, dug out some pictures.

The mammoth Canon 85mm F1.2L. Can you guess which is which ?

Pomeranian x Chi Wa Wa. 53cm. Some pictures of the dog. Timid. Shy. Naughty. Nuisance. Lovable. Loyal. Cute. Picky. Loves Seafood. Hates-Postmen. Barks Like a Boss. Whimpers Like a spoilt baby.

Think-She-Is-Human.
