On 11 June 2011, the Nature Society of Singapore organised a walk along the proposed Green Corridor which aims to preserve the historic significance as well as the nature surrounding it after the KTM railway line ceases operation come 30 June 2011. Being avid photographers interested in historic/old places, a friend Gilbert and I decided… Continue reading Bukit Timah Railway Station

Perth Sunset
A few months ago, my Krisflyer points were expiring, so I decided to redeem a return ticket to the furthest place which my points will let me. This turned out to be Perth, Western Australia. I also asked a long time friend of mine, Clarence, who agreed to come along as well. The trip itself… Continue reading Perth Sunset
Auspicious Day
This is a shot I did quite some time back during a wedding shoot. The bride and groom was resting at his parent’s house after the morning ceremonies. I was half-resting and half looking for a special moment to shoot when I came across this old school Chinese calendar. It was one of those with… Continue reading Auspicious Day
Capitol Theatre, Singapore
Built in 1933, the Capitol Theatre was one of Singapore’s most recognisable theatres. The last movie was screened on 29 Dec 1998 and it ceased to be a movie theatre after that. There were plans to redevelop the area for some time, but nothing really happened and there were no news of it until recently.… Continue reading Capitol Theatre, Singapore
Morning Shoot with YS
Went on another early morning shoot with YS at the amphitheatre of the Esplanade. On this day, the waters aren’t as still as one of my earlier shoots, but it’s still a reasonably good time to shoot the Marina Bay Sands and the skyline as the water is still calmer compared to the evening. The… Continue reading Morning Shoot with YS
Double Rainbow
I have not seen a rainbow, much less two rainbows for a long time now. Today, after a short period of rain, my father alerted me to the rainbow and I rushed to get my iPhone and camera to capture this rare moment. It started with one rainbow, but after a few shots on the… Continue reading Double Rainbow
Henderson Waves
Standing at 36m above Henderson Road, the Henderson Waves is Singapore’s tallest pedestrian bridge in Singapore. It links Mt. Faber Park to Telok Blangah Hill and is part of the Southern Ridges, a 9km trail that links several parks in the southern end of Singapore. The distinctive feature of the bridge are the wave-like structures… Continue reading Henderson Waves
Fujifilm FinePix X100 Hands-on Review
The newly launched Fujifilm FinePix X100 has got to be one of the most talked about “professional compact” recently. A friend of mine tried it out during the recently concluded IT Show 2011 in Singapore and has written a hands-on review of it and you can check it out over at Digital Home Thoughts. Invisible… Continue reading Fujifilm FinePix X100 Hands-on Review
Great Court, British Museum
At the centre of the British Museum is the Queen Elizabeth II Great Court (or simply known as the Great Court). The cylindrical Reading Room lies in the middle, and a massive steel and glass provides a skylight for the courtyard it encloses. I was trying to find a good vantage point from which to… Continue reading Great Court, British Museum
Durham Cathedral
Located high above River Wear, the Durham Cathedral in Durham, UK is one of the most prominent landmarks of Durham and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The first two Harry Potter movies were also filmed at the cathedral. Jed and I eventually got to a corner of the cloister and decided to… Continue reading Durham Cathedral
