taken at Buddha Tooth Relic Temple. got this shot during the recent stroll at Chinatown. i was contemplating if i will observe their "mass" or not. but then it seems like it will be for hours, so i've decided to go and come back next time. it's my first time to observe something like this and it gives me a different feeling. i feel that it was very solemn. i'll be back here for sure and i will be ready by that time. :D

back to my regular view for sunset here in our building :D. my first sunset shot back here in Sg. i took this one about two weeks ago. the weather was sunny then a bit cloudy in the afternoon. i'm loving the trail of light and clouds as well in this picture. sky watch photos from around the world are here. have a lovely weekend everyone!

i got this shot at Bedok reservoir. had an afternoon walking around trying to tinker my toy :D i was actually trying to snap pictures of a spider (which was really unsuccessful) when this caught my eye. suddenly, it brought back my childhood days. i've seen lots of those near swamps or ponds but those way back are in bright pink. these that i have found are pale ones. but nevertheless i got interested in them. as you may have noticed, one or two are broken, i wonder where has it gone?

i'm just wondering if i'm right of what i think these are. if you are familiar, please feel free to tell me :D

in lieu of the Lunar New Year, we went to Chinatown last Saturday to observe the scenario and the crowd since it's most likely the centre for the CNY. so after work, we hurried there and took some pictures around. i was actually hoping for some fireworks, but alas, there is none, and before midnight i was already exhausted. the place is very crowded, with lots and lots and lots of stalls everywhere, selling different kinds of stuffs.

different kinds of candies (with free taste :D)

am not sure if they are pears, haven't asked anyone yet, the writings are in Mandarin, thus it doesn't help :D

pumpkins (i never thought that pumpkins are also a must for CNY)

flowers (name it they have it, sold for at least S$8)

chinese lanterns (lined up everywhere)

bee cheng hiang (bakkwa's a must every Lunar New Year, notice the long queue?)

he is definitely not for sale....such a shame that i wasn't able to snap a picture of his face.

Happy Chinese New Year! i've been quite excited for this event since this is my first time to celebrate Chinese New Year here in Singapore. i never thought it was really big although they said there was a difference from before since country is in recession. another factor was that it was way too close from Christmas and New Year that's why people doesn't have enough money to spend for this celebration. nevertheless, it's still fun observing the preparations for the Chinese New Year.

i've been out lately but i had fun walking in Chinatown the other night. i'll post pictures of my latest adventure there in my upcoming posts. but for now, i need to go to bed as i have to wake up early to greet Happy New Year and receive my "hong bao" :D

i've been eyeing to take a picture of Garfield ever since i saw him in the bag (he's a key chain, by the way :D). he's one of my fave cartoon characters and probably i had sort of look up to him. he's one fat lazy cat who loves to eat and loves to hate odie (poor lil dog). now, you'll all be having a picture of me (i don't hate odie or dogs, i am not just that fond of them). but like garfield, i love to eat and a bum if given the chance. lol!

also one of the reasons why i bravely took a close up picture of him is to test my "memphis".

tower in Tangs at Orchard Road. i took this shot last year while walking in broad daylight. if i remember it right, i took this one while waiting to cross the road along Wheelock./the sun was shining really bright. was just having fun snapping photos pretending to be a tourist! :D
