Free ride on the city circle!

Helix Bridge and MBS 10 Oct 2010


This could probably be the closest I could ever get to the casino without actually entering it.
And thus, saving the entire family fortune from being donated to the evil arms of gambling.

The pictures I took serves a reminder to myself that everything outside the casino is beautiful.
From the faces of those gamblers I saw leaving the casino, I doubt they can appreciate the beauty anymore....

Boon Keng, Toa Payoh, Bras Basah Niteshoot 02 Oct 2010


Another late night shoot.

Some close mates are envious of the spare time I have the luxury of owning.
Well, if you restrict the hours of sleep to less than 4 hours each day, you'd probably have the same extra of personal time as me.

In this exercise of chasing the extra time, it'd probably reduce my lifespan due to the irregular sleeping habit so I use it on capturing as much beautiful scenes that my eyes see. A trade off probably.

Most of the pictures below are captured using the Canon EF-S 10-22mm wide angle lens.

This last picture was digitally enhanced with GIMP by using its "unsharp mask" to sharpen the photo..
A bit too excessive, what do you think?

Tekka City View and Boat Quay 10th Sept 2010


Alex said the view at Tekka was nice from the top floor of the HDB block, so we went there with our gears. After that, we went to Boat Quay along Singapore River

Midnight Drive By Shooting


It was a late Friday night, I couldn't sleep due to a heavy dinner.

I thought I needed a walk.

My inner monologue went like this..

"If you are going for a walk, you might as well bring along your camera gear, since you may just find something interesting to shoot..


Well, hey, since you are bringing along the camera gear, you might as well bring your car keys to get your tripod in the car.. "

So I had my walk to the car.
As I reached the car, I hear my inner monologue again..


"You might as well go for a drive and see what comes along"

And so I drove.

I drove towards the fire station across Coleman Street to take some pictures of it as I recalled that the building had a nice glow when lit at night.

Sadly as I reached there, the lights were all turned off.

So I turned into Fort Canning Road, thinking I can make a U-turn there.
The Fort Canning Road became a one way street in less than 200m and I had to drive up Fort Canning Hill in order to exit via Clemenceau Ave.

But along the way, something caught my eye.
It was a memory of more than 9 years ago.

On the foot of Fort Canning Park is the Registrar of Marriages.
Most couples will have their couple portraiture taken in this area of Fort Canning Park.

So did Mr and Mrs Neo on 06 Oct 2001.

Citylights Bokeh 13th August 2010


Taken at my family's weekend mahjong haunt
[ Auntie Jaey's house at Toa Payoh ]

A magnificent view of the city can be seen from her flat on the 17th storey in Toa Payoh East.

This picture doesn't do justice to her flat's city view but I guess that's what my grandma sees each night, when she sits on her comfort chair at the balcony, without her glasses on.

What is Bokeh? It sounds hokkien!
