Raffles Place Walkabout

I didn't work late or deliberately stay back to wait for night fall to take these pictures. I was actually on my way home after facial and decided to take some pictures of the vicinity of  my workplace.

40 of Project 365: Jurong Point

No, this is not a desperate attempt to submit am emtry for Project 365 that I have to resort to taking picture of the sign of a shopping mall. This is a place I walked through, not passed, daily because of the location of the MRT station and bus interchange.
I was taking a picture of the "Jurong Point" sign from the Boon Lay MRT platform. Soon after I've taken the picture a train has moved in, so I thought maybe I can try taking the a picture of the sign through the windows of the train. And this is the result. Luckily, this is one of the few trains without any advertisement pasted on the windows.

39 of Project 365: Corridor

When I was young, corridors used to be the playground for me & my friends. The good thing is, we can have a good time, rain or shine. And always within earshot to hear our mums' beckoning.

Tiong Bahru Walkabout

The mention of Tiong Bahru would usually bring to mind "food" for the gourmands. But this is not what I have in mind. I'm drawn to this place for its nostalgic charm and unique architectural style.

I decided to do a "Tiong Bahru Walkabout" since I'll be attending a friend's birthday party who is living nearby. This is a very interesting neighbourhood which I particularly like. I do notice quite a number of newly renovated units belonging to, perhaps, the younger, trendier crowd who also has a liking for this intriguing neighbourhood and convenient location. 
Isn't it convenient to have the Post Office just downstairs?

Coconut Tree


Illuminated, artificial coconut trees at a temple in preparation for a special festival. Which colour do you prefer? I like the yellow coconut tree.

Moving Target

Another (impromptu) first attempt at moving object using manual mode. A bit creepy or ghostly because there's a cyclist who has merged with the bus. This is definitely not the result I want, the bus should be clearly visible while the background is blur. More tinkering and experimentation to get it right the next time.

35 of Project 365: Dusk

Took this photo on my way home while there's still light. It's a different colour everyday. Sometimes it's a beautiful display of yellow, red & orange light but there're times like today which is just odinary.

34 of Project 365: Manual Mode


My first night shot using manual mode. A bit over exposed but at least not totally pitch black like the first few attempts. ISO3200?! I'm really pushing it.

33 of Project 365: Look Further

Look further, do not be blinded by current circumstances. It's good to be focused but sometimes we forget that there's a future.
