singapore biennale - south beach



first few pictures from the singapore biennale at south beach from the past week. i had no idea of the building's existence till biennale chose this as one of their premises for exhibitions. the premise had seen better days as a police camp, if i remember correctly. slated for some eco stuff for the future. 








this swing is assembled with fluorescent light tubes. connected to two motors within the ceiling, it appears to swing by itself. spooked me when it appeared in the corner of my eye as i entered the room. 

been to some of the rest at other venues, pictures will be up some time later. 

was caught in the heavy rain today. it eventually led me to walk around and take some pictures around the Formula 1 track and grandstand. pictures up soon!

did anyone catch the dramatic final on sunday? punters who placed their bets on alonso are probably laughing their way speedfast to the banks. he almost switched positions with massa, although it was by a most unexpected twist of fate. i couldn't believe my eyes when i saw massa rip off the fuel pipe. i am by no means a F1 fan. the hype caught up with me only recently, rightfully, for this F1 is a big deal for Singapore. and i must admit it is kinda enjoyable and thrilling. so when that damn pipe tore off and whipped a guy along, the thought of an explosion did flash through my mind. that wouldn't go down well for the world's first night race, no? 

i am immensely proud of SG. the skyline is impeccable. a jewel it is indeed. in my view, part of its magic lies in the time difference. the time difference between SG and European countries made the beautiful night skyline appears even more enchanting than it already was when it appear on their TV screens in the day faraway across the globe. the cars and the whole race did appear nicer in the night too. you see how those cars gleem? very photogenic. i happened to be around days before the race when the lights were up for testing. even the taxis, buses and vans shone like proud new vehicles under the lightings. 

here,the excitement doesn't just die away with the advancement and moving on of the grand prix. 
here, the future is buzzing.

mid-autumn festival



chinese around the world celebrated mid-autumn festival last sunday. it's on the 15th of every eighth month on the lunar calendar. on this day, mooncakes are the traditional food exchanged, the moon is supposed to be the fullest too (i took the above picture days later, though). one of my favourite festival in the calendar-kinda romantic isn't it, a night with the fullest moon.

some celebration/performance event at a temple i went with my mum. performers decked out in extravangance costumes, belting out tunes to a really huge crowd. free food and lanterns too.


the man with feathers did some costume-changing really speedily and re-appeared as the clown. he later changed into a policeman. the little girl, she's only four.

沿路走







那天,和朋友约好了到火车铁道拍照。听说铁路周围是马国的property,还听说如果被有关当局发现,是会被赶出去的,有点怕怕。还好一路ok!

其实我一直想要到铁路拍照想了很久,一直都没行动。这次总算make the move了。

拍了一些照,不多。还有些等底片冲了再放上来。
包包好重好重累得我只想快快找个地方座。
可是一路走来前面后面都是一条无尽头的石头和两排铁路。
走在这些又大又粗的石头还真费力,一不小心,可能会扭了脚,还摔个屁股。

虽然铁路初体验有点累,可是我还蛮想再去一次。
当天累都累死了并没有拍什么好的。
现在有点遗憾。
