Shots!

Quite an adequate name for photographers to stop by and take a look.

While walking along Ann Siang Hill a few weeks back, I stopped by this small cafe for lunch. Chose not to sit inside just so that I can enjoy the feeling of the late afternoon sun and also to look at the people walking around in search of something interesting in this area.

Ordered a plate of seafood pasta and a glass or orange smoothie.

Flowers 花

Every time I look at the flowers around me, I will remember the bible verse, Matt 6:28-30.
“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?”

Little But Not Small

If there is a place for motorists to hone their driving skills, this has to be one of the places in Singapore. The pedestrians are king of the road. Where? Little India.

I think there are more people on the roads here than in Orchard Rd. And mind you, it’s a weekday. For info, Mustafa Centre is the only 24 hours shopping mall in Singapore. And you can find almost everything there. Prices are not expensive too. In fact, Mustafa was mentioned in tour books as one of the most happening places in Singapore. Salute to all the Indians who made Singapore proud.

Little India is truly a very colourful place. From the buildings to the people, it is just full of vibrant and the lifestyle is quite captivating at times.

A man doing stock check in this shop. I don’t think you will see a Chinese shop so empty, we will tend to squeeze in as much items as possible, to get the most out of anything.

Do we still see such bag deposit counters anywhere else?

Life goes on as usual no matter what, for some.

As I wandered along the streets, I found this game I used to play when I was young, Carrom Game.DSC_0146

It’s a super huge board, twice the size we usually played on. So that a lot of people can play at the same time.

Ever wonder why most of the money changers in Singapore are operated by Indians?

Night Lights In Singapore

One challenge for me as I take photos is night shots. Heard from many friends around, the essential equipment to have for a good night shot will be tripod, flash and remote control. All of which I do not have. Maybe I should invest. But still the night scene in Singapore fascinates me a lot. Still searching for places besides Orchard Rd and Sentosa.

Wheelock Place, during Christmas, it will be transformed into a huge Christmas tree.

Tried a slower shutter speed to capture the lights but hands not steady enough for a clearer picture.

Just a feeling of peace.
