escape


Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.

Whatever started out as a walk with my uncle yesterday to rid our excesses evolved into an exploration of a reservoir nearby and the only kampong left untact in Singapore.  This shot is taken along the canal just off Lorong Buang Kok.

patch - Saturday, July 23, 2011 @ 6:44 AM

A patch of the KTM Rail that will soon go down in the history books in the name of development. I was drawn to the green blotches/patches left behind by the mould and fungus on the belly of this disused bridge until I saw the sleek looker of a creeper edging a supporting hand on one of its pillars.

night lighting - Saturday, June 11, 2011 @ 1:55 PM

I see this in many decor magazines. Having had the chance to repack my "warehouse" (fondly termed by an uncle who popped by) of a room, I took out these table lights which I'd ripped off due-to-be-condemned desks in the staffroom at the old Geylang Bahru campus. The triangulation effects of the lighting - not bad eh?

PASSION...
where the line between motion and emotion crosses each other;
when the rains blur the distinction between earth and sky.

Burning rubber, rapid rain
the field will soon go missing...

On one of my regular trips across the Causeway, I make it a point to try the local food. I usually head to the coffee shops but this attractive modern eatery caught my eyes.










































After sampling the won ton noodles, you know this outlet is not just about clever advertising. The food tastes really good!

hot - Saturday, September 4, 2010 @ 11:01 AM
This is not a scene from the 60s.

This is a modern scene of gross indiscretion.

One red-hot culprit...

...and the embers that caused the unnecessary devastation.
Before you accuse me of being culturally insensitive, I wish to say that I am a Chinese myself. I live in a country where the authorities have regularly reminded the locals to perform their religious rites in proper bins.

If the religious zealots have no fear of the infamous Singaporean laws, perhaps a stark reminder of the degradation would be helpful to them to save some of their passion for nature herself???

THINK AGAIN - Numbers - Saturday, August 21, 2010 @ 8:23 AM
Movie Theatre Popcorn (Large or XL)
- 1640 calories, 126g fats
= almost total calories needed for ENTIRE DAY!

Cost = USD$ 15

The healthier option - popcorn without the butter.

The Best Option - from the supermarket and home-made!

orange - Saturday, August 14, 2010 @ 3:11 PM
after the rain,
the trodden trails washed away
all that remains
the muddied remnants of regrets
where are the promises of home
- there is no home
