Queensway. Queenstown. Cinema

I got up slightly earlier to finish up my row of Tmax 400 (while people were out on their long run at ECP… ) one fine day.  Brought along my D60, although I really prefer to shoot film at this point in time.
Been waiting to take pictures of this old building for a long time. [...]

smile… and be nice

I realise I’ve been smiling plasticky recently.
eg. 
Dinner conversation A:
Auntie: Do you run?
Me: Not really.

十年了

我还是被骗了。
十年前,和友人兴致勃勃到圣淘沙追流星雨。 结果败兴而归, 只见到两颗流星。
十年后的今天,我还是三更半夜爬起来,希望能看见一场流星雨。但是,天不作美。夜晚的天空布满了云。
天快亮时,守得云开,但没见到任何流星。
我再也不相信能在新加坡看流星雨了。但是,我还是想到 Pulau Semakau 看星星!

I can’t help but link it to the class on Tues - the uncles [...]

Ok… fine…

The gist of the story is:
Someone has been very unhappy with me -

started throwing ALL work to me, even though the work should be done by fellow [...]

美丽的榜鹅尾

这个地方充满我成长的回忆。
它是我度过快乐的童年的地方,更是我小时候的“地盘”。
随着时代的变迁,榜鹅尾的海岸线不断的扩张,我曾经踏过的一草一土早已不在。

蜕变中的榜鹅尾:

依然美丽的晚霞:

拍照当天 (除#9,#10 #11 以外), 天下着毛毛细雨. 灰蒙蒙的天空,画出了我重回这个地方的心情.

colours of the sky

I can’t get to sleep after waking up.
This is the dunno-how-many-th time in the past 2 weeks. Many things are biting me, and those must be the cause of this syndrome.
Decided to pick out some colours
