West Coast Park

Time never stands still
A place is just there
but time makes it different
as each minute and second is laid bare

Clouds are nameless
till we assign to their fluid form
meanings that we choose to see
until they disperse and are gone

Structures are massive
compared to you and me
But nature is impressive
when we see things in perspective

Someday there will be no clouds in the sky
as prophesized by the writing on the wall
Till then we should ponder on our deeds
amend our actions, heed the call Before we perish and time disappears
too late to save ourselves from the inevitable fall

Sky God

Where in Singapore is this? It does not matter. When I was young, I asked my mum why she prayed to a Sky God (天神)。 She explained that wherever we are, the sky is always above us. Wherever we are, the sky is always over our heads, watching over us. Today, for a change, I watched the sky and recall what my mother told me.

Cloud over Little India

Round the corner of these HDB flats is Serangoon Road. I was walking along the Rochore Canal towards Selegie Road when I looked up saw this cloud formation. I thought it interesting enough to stop and fish out my camera to capture this scene.

I decided not to take any more photos as I tend to take too many photos that do nothing except take up space in my pc. So for once I went along my way and at the end of the day, this is the one photo that had made my day.

Labrador Park

It was very hot on Vesak Day and we escaped the heat by going to Labrador Nature Reserve where the sun could not torture us totally because we were protected by the trees and were cooled by the gentle sea breeze blowing in from the sea.

Henderson Waves

Raffles Place

On Labour Day, the heart of the Business District is a quiet haven. Office workers have disappeared, shops were closed and the buildings looked relieved. So on Labour Day, the family decided to walk around the area for a short while before proceeding to Maxwell Food Centre for a late breakfast.

End of walk and it's back to the basement carpark in UOB Building.

Chinatown

Breakfast at the Maxwell Food Centre turned into Lunch. Wonderful hawker fare here with quite a few stalls getting rave reviews from the newspapers that were displayed visibly together with certificates attesting to the quality of their food. This is one of our favourite eating places.

The drive along South Bridge road towards Chinatown where Maxwell Food Centre is located. The colourful dragons and phonixes decorations must have been put up by the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple probably in preparation for a religious celebration.



Different religious buildings side by side along South Bridge Road.

Old shophouses that never fail to captivate.
The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple.

This former jinrickshaw station is owned by Jackie Chan.

Flowers!
An en-bloc potential.
Fences that speak of another era.
To the AYE and home!
