Tracing my footsteps home last evening....

I was admiring my pair of cheerful gello sandals and wondered if it would look less cheerful if it didn't have accompanying scarlet nail lacquers. As I take in the visual, I thought I might as well give it an adventure. So I do what I've always done-- my signature "footsteps" tracing my tracks. This series is similar to an earlier photography contest that ended up with two contestants winning the top position in a tie (the judges ended up creating another top position in an apparent split in their vote. I am sure I didn't win with techniques but they probably liked it overall). Anyway, here's my perspective last evening:-

 at the bus stop waiting for my bus home

 decided to have some earthly contact besides concrete and smartphones
(well, i was still using my iPhone duh...)


 at zebra crossing after crossing the pedestrian bridge

 at parkway lobby

 behind ATM

 at traffic light

 one sewage cover marked with 'diamond'

 walked past Singpost & gyms (one kid's gym, the other is a 24-hour gym)

 the slope leading to playground

 hopscotch without numbers

 crossing the road

 in the lift
i'm home!

Happy Vesak Day - 2014


Lunching alone and shopping alone on Vesak Day. 
 

With greeting messages like these (above), I think they should commission me to do some greeting cards; I'm sure I can make a few pennies moonlighting. Idea!

Down Time


 Of late, my work and stuff at home has taken a toil on my mental strength so much so that I was so tired and gave myself a day off on Saturday. Actually, it is half a day off, since it was after music class. Anyway, I just needed a break to laze around and do nothing.

The nearest place I like to go chill-out on my own is the Marina Bay area. Firstly, there's a bus to get there from my place. The journey across Costa Rhu area is very scenic, overlooking the bay and the Singapore Flyer. I only need to walk across a carpark and across the Helix bridge, which is also a scenic walk anyway.

I like to buy myself some sushi on takeaway, and a bottle of fruit juice. Sit by the benches and have a snack and stare into the sky. Sometimes, the weather is rather hot, so I stay indoor. I also pop into some of the art galleries there to satisfy my eyes and the eyes of my right brain.



 So many stripes and this looks like I am in Hong Kong. (or China?)

 


Cheeky sticker.
I always pump the traffic light buttons - pump, pump, pump, pump, pump,pump, when I am at the junction.
Brendan always says - Don't do that!
But it is just so shiok to keep on going. Helps vent off some impatience.
