I have always been harbouring a secret desire to be able to dance. As a tall guy, I was never one who can coordinate my movements as well as others. But every time there is a dancing show or act, I would definitely be lamenting my “disability”.
“The thing about hip-hop today is it’s smart, it’s insightful. The way they can communicate a complex message in a very short space is remarkable.” Barack Obama
A reason no one really know but the best cobbler in Singapore are usually these old Uncles who are hidden at certain corners around the neighbourhood.
“As he cobbled and hammered from morning till dark, with the footgear to mend on his knees, stitching patches, or pegging on soles as he sang, out of tune, ancient catches and glees.” Oscar H. Harpel
Thanks to this girl who sporting jumped onto the pole and did a pose for me. Pole dancing really is difficult, not only do you require tremendous strength and agility, you need to be very confident too.
“Great dancers are not great because of their technique; they are great because of their passion.” Martha Graham
Catching on to quite a few street photographers’ inspirations, I have decided to do my own photowalk. The idea is just to walk around a certain vicinity and take some interesting shots with no particular theme in mind. This is of course another good way to hone my photography skills and to further train myself to be bolder in street photography, especially with people.
So my first destination is Chinatown. This place is always full of surprises, doesn’t matter how many times I have been there, every single visit brings different views and photography opportunities.
Walking from Cityhall direction, we will pass this bridge to enter into the CBD area and also the Chinatown section further up. No ERP needed if you are on foot.
The uniqueness of Singapore’s town urban planning, we get to see old buildings with skyscrapers not too far off.
An interesting “corner”… If you want to speak, please apply for permit..
It would be cool if our HDB windows can be like this.
A normal day in Chinatown.
It happened to be the Hungry Ghost Festival when I was there. Such altars are common with the Chinese, praying for blessings and protection.
This man seems to be lost in thoughts, probably thinking what did he forget to buy.
Some are rushing home to prepare dinner.
Some are just waiting for time to pass.
Some just enjoys the peace and tranquillity of the environment.
This is Chinatown.
Don’t be deceive by these cute donuts. Nice to see but not good to eat. It’s clay.
A puppeteer is becoming more and more a common act for children’s gathering. Entertaining the kids is never an easy job, especially under the hot sun. Great job!
“The day I need a television puppet or clown to tell my children what’s right and what’s wrong, I’ll bow out as a mother.” Elinor Smith
I don’t think I will keep a pet cat. But I definitely love to take photos of cats.
Saw this white cat in Pasir Ris and it was that slight injury mark on it’s face that drew me in. Amazing to see how yellow are the eyes.
