Battleship

That's an old American river cruise ship and an old Chinese junk. Which is better? Actually, both of them are just replicas of those ships. One is a restaurant anchored at Marina South Pier and the other is a ship meant to take tourists around the Southern Islands.

Odd One Out

Is the white chair the odd one out? Was it placed there on purpose or was it just a coincidence? Would there be changes to this arrangement?

The Tower

One of the most iconic buildings in Singapore given a fresh coat of paint. i'm in awe.

Fly Me to the Moon

Fly to the Moon and you can meet Chang Er, that is if she is not hiding from you. If not, you can catch a glimpse of her in lots of places like Eu Tong Sen St but not for long though.

Textured Facade

This building is along the PIE opposite the temporary school grounds of Cedar Girls', which was previously that of Geylang Methodist Sec and VS. The facade is one of the most interesting that i've seen around with the flaps of material stretched across the whole building. Sunshades for the occupants, perhaps?

The Monolith

The National Library building is a monolith as compared to the rest of the buildings around it. i like the architecture and the interior and especially the fact that it is a green building but it just looks out of place.

Reflections by the Kallang River at Night

This was the view taken from the Singapore Flyer at night. i thought the reflections of the Benjamin Sheares Bridge in the river looked very surreal. It was a moment of serendipity.

Reflections by the Kallang River

The scene is set to change soon with the completion of the Sports Hub (yet another hub in Singapore) but it's a pity that those iconic "floating" restaurants have to go.

Heavy Task

These 2 strong men are tasked with carrying this heavy disc but i wonder what is it for? But they do look impressive against the grey skies...

Just Doesn't Look Right

It just seems a bit weird, surreal in fact to look at this scene.

The Big Great Ferris Wheel

That's our very own Singapore Flyer, the biggest (observation) wheel in the world. This was taken from a low angle, making the cables look extremely short when in fact they are not. Set against the grey skies, this looks like a ferris wheel from those horror theme parks in the "Mr. Midnight" series.

The Cat and the Sculpture

The cat is lying lazily on this sculpture at Sculpture Square. Nobody is there to disturb it anyway.

Dangerous Beams

These are the ceiling beams of a multi purpose pavilion. Looks very dangerous with all the wire twining around, all in the purpose of preventing kids from playing soccer inside the pavilion.

Solitary Flag

Is the act of still hanging the national flag in September considered as patriotic? At least it's adding a bit more colour to this rather colourful flat in Bugis.

Lights of the Festival

That is the float of the Monkey God at Clarke Quay, participating in the Mid-Autumn Festival. And in the backdrop are the G-Max structures that don't fit in with the float, or is it the other way round?

These Buildings are Blocking Out My Sunlight

Looking at this photo gives me a feeling of breathlessness and i long to escape from the city. Is it the greyness and monotony of the buildings or is it the overcast sky or do i just not belong to this concrete jungle?

Orchids and Bees

Yes. You can still catch sights like this in Singapore. But you may have to make some effort because it's not everywhere. This scene was captured at the Sungei Buloh Nature Park where you can get really close to nature.

Tunnel

This is underneath Esplanade Drive, where the structure of the bridge form an interesting pattern like a tunnel. Sometimes, we just need to look around to find some beauty.
