Trip to the National Museum - The Quest for Immortality + Galleries

its been such a LONG time since i posted anything. i really didnt go anywhere. :(

so a little day off to the museum is kinda refreshing. Walking through the Quest for Immortality exhibition, and a few smaller galleries.

too bad i dont have a fast wide angle lens. most of the shots are on 1600, 1/30, f1.4! yes. its that dark. i cannot imagine how the pic will turn out for the next guy w a kit lens doing handheld!


this is really how all the stuff are being displayed..


false door to a tomb


lots of false doors


mummy... there's really a corpse inside...


jewelery from ancient singapore





i didnt know 555 also sell cups!


very nice setting in the photography gallery

Formula 1 Singapore 2009

the day ends, the race begins!





some durians before racing?


once again, cars too fast to capture, crowd too much to squeeze to the front... i have to use f1.4 1/2000s to shoot this! got my fastest lens out but dont have good position. *sigh*





zoukout @ esplanade. lol

Super Import Nights 09

the usual Ferrari, Lamborghini... and lots of modified cars... like last year








this bmw i like... design to look like tokyo police car. lol








bling bling... so ah pek... so expensive.. still bling until like that..

Singapore Toy, Games & Comic Convention

this year's show is bigger compared to last year... but feels a lot more cramp. dont really have good shot of things cos too many spotlights, and too cluttered background.... lol... i'm a newbie..


very cluttered background.. lol





dolls on parade!

My ticket has arrived!

ready for some live f1 action!

Chingay 09

chingay!


what is chingay without these giant flags right?


i think they borrowed the costumes from 满城尽带黄金甲... hahaha






ok.. this is a very bad river ang bao. firstly, it only open from 6pm to 12am. wtf! i think every year i visit in the afternoon or evening one... at night people have to go 拜年 one lor...
then around 1130pm, they start to off the lights! wtf again! and the "security" idiots are still letting people in! brainless singaporeans... and so the lights went off, spoil people's mood, then as people slowly walk out, then around 1145pm come the announcement on the PA system "... we will be turning off the lights soon.." or something like that. *faint* no eyes to see ah? lights already off liao can....

seriously, i was inside tokyo disneyland 1 hour after closing time, still can slowly stroll out, and the staffs are already packing up their things and locking up, but they still smile and wave and say bye bye when u walk pass.
in singapore leh? 30min before official closing time, and the kakia and supervisor already off the lights without announcement and chasing people off.. RUDELY! *shake head* i dont know what kind of uniquely singapore experience singaporeans will give to tourists when our IRs open... maybe they should just sack all the singaporeans customer facing staff and employ japanese lah.

Anime Festival Asia 08

so many people... so many kids buying things... the things inside not cheap lor. some are even more ex than outside! but the way u see those kids take money from their parents and spend.. like no economic crisis leh.


gundam always the favourite. what is anime without them.....


hehehe ;)


human size gundam! this is definitely a very serious cosplayer...




guess who's on the floor? L lah....


people.. cosplayers...


more people... more cosplayers... lol


anime is serious business.... but why so serious?

Tamiya Modeling Competition 08

Big Walk on Water

paiseh. no photos for so many days. basically my life is very boring over the past month.

so... finally! after so many years don't have big walk.. its here again! (national stadium bluff everyone...)

see! according to my GPS, i'm really walking on water! hahaha


starting point @ suntec


look @ the number of people! omg!


screw up #1. ok. maybe no other way, cos only got 1 bridge. but the bottleneck @ the bridge really dampen everyone's mood


shortcut through the woods


finishing line! marina barrage!


view from the barrage. nice leh! this could be another new place to chill-out in future


bubble star! see before?


screw up # 2. this is THE place where they make NEWater, YET the water-point run out of water! how can this happen?! screwup # 3 is the goodie bag collection. it feels like the whole Big Walk is a new event, the organiser like really no experience and never anticipate the bandwidth required! omg. there are more screwups, i'm just too piss then to bother anymore. the sun is killing me, no water to drink, and the stupid Cheers is selling bottled drinks @ $2 each. 杀人放火。


this is how they control the water level. model looks cool hor.....


but the real thing, even more impressive!


view from the top of the barrage. nice. another place to watch ndp f.i.r.e.w.o.r.k.s? ops...
