Surau Kampong Lorong Buangkok

Image
After weeks of delaying to visit the last kampung in Singapore, my kaki-s and I went to check out the place as we weren't sure if the kampung was still there.  Meeting at Buangkok MRT , we took Bus 43 and alighted at Buangkok Green Blk 911 stop where we were supposed to take bus 101 to Buangkok Link Blk 980C . However, as it was only a bus stop distance, we traveled on foot.  If you are thinking of visiting this place, another alternative route you can use is to alight at Yio Chu Kang and take bus 70 and alight at Yio Chu Kang Road opp Shell Station . (BUT well, always do a double check for the directions as I didn't travel there via this route) Reaching the end of Buangkok Link , there were two paths; 1. one that led up to International Alliance Hostel , and 2. where there were a lot of vehicles parked.  If you are going to pay a visit there, don't make the same mistake as us. We went UP the route towards International Alliance Hostel which was wrong.  Even ...

Admiralty Park 1st March 2009

Image
Sunday morning~~ What a morning ~~ After months of no shooting activities, I finally found my kaki~~ (who is at last free to join me). Initially, I wasn't sure whether going Admiralty Park is the right place for photo taking as I have never been there (neither is my friend). But seeing that many photographers mentioned about this location. I convinced my friend to join me... And it was a trip worth going.. Other than the weather not that welcoming... (due to current unpredictable weather) After a delicious (and exp) Mac breakfast, we started walking from Woodland MRT station. Almost got lost as I was going toward the wrong side. Luckily I remembered that I should be heading towards Woodlands Ave 2, I asked my friend to get his camera out (fitted with a 18-200mm Nikon lens) and took the road sign. (which was when I saw RP on the right side! Which is just beside Admiralty Park! Thus, we then proceeded back to the right track (with the dark clouds above us)) The Flowers Series Upon ar...

Lost Shots (Part 3) - Flowers Series

Image
Look at the cute little flower! see how the flower actually tries to conceal its beauty with the pink "petals". Normally you will see this breed of flowers everywhere in red. Thus it caught my attention being orange in color. Doesn't this reminds you of a cartwheel? And this flower looks like the wheel of fortune....

Lost Shots (Part 2)

Image
A re-edited sky which seems nicer (although less natural) This was taken during National Day? I can't remember the exact time. There was light decoration on the trees near my place and I wanted to try out something unique so I took a shot at the lights, moved a bit when I captured the photo and with the entire dark environment and minor editing, this is what I got. If you have been to Hort Park, I hope you didn't missed this statue nearby the entrance. I caught it in my camera! But it took so long for me to post it. Up close and personal with the parrot at the bird park? Another lost shot which I took look nice but I don't know why I failed to post it in my blog Special Treats from Bakezin! $1/pc macarons Got a total of 12 different macarons from the outlet at Jurong Point and they are really SWEET! Try the chocolate and strawberry macarons! (too bad I was too eager to taste them that I forgot to take a snap shot and when I remembered, I was left with 6 of them) After some ...

Lost! Taken Shots in 2008 (Part 2)

Image
Playing around with simple photo editing, I hope that I had salvaged the below pictures. This shot of lilies went unnoticed initially as I thought it doesn't give me enough courage to post it. When playing around with the effect (cropping and focal b&w), it somehow makes me feels that there is a "story" to tell. Do you feel it? Another shot of this pretty flowers(although I hate to admit but I have no idea what is the flower name). This picture was also left lying in my com as I didn't find it attractive. Although some editing is done, I was still thinking whether is the color too ..... Doesn't this look familiar? Well, it's taken somewhere near fort canning (liang court stretch). Apologies first but don't ask me what's the name as I have no idea. Took this shot at the bridge nearby/towards Clarke Quay. Me and my friend happened to be in time to capture the G-Max ride

A BIG (LONELY) FLY!

Lost! Taken Shots in 2008 (Part 1)

Image
I was flipping through my 2008 pictures captured and I was surpised to find a number of shots that I took did not get posted in my blog. Thus, before I continued posting photos taken in 2009, here are the photos that I have took and overlooked. This is a sunset moment which I accidentally spotted from fort canning. Yet another bee caught in "action" Singapore Flyer! And I still haven't got the chance to take a ride in.. Have you? The relocated Merlion still performing its duty! And look who's there!
