Although I had the opportunity and luck to have seen and shot the Aurora Borealis, I have never seen (much less shot) the milky way. Singapore is just too light polluted and cloudy to ever see it, so the only way is to get out of here. So, when a friend asked if I want… Continue reading Shooting the Milky Way for the First Time

Shooting the Last Days of the KTM Railway
I was not much of a railway person. The KTM railway in Singapore has been around for nearly 80 years, but like most people, I never thought much about it. I had vague memories of taking the train to Malaysia when I was a little kid but couldn’t remember much of it. The quaint little… Continue reading Shooting the Last Days of the KTM Railway
End of an Era
After 79 years of operation, the Tanjong Pagar Railway Station will cease operations on 30 June 2011. Not wanting to miss the historic moment, I decided to pay the station a last visit before it’s closed the next day. Gilbert was with me as well, and we hoped to capture the last trains in and… Continue reading End of an Era
Another Visit to the Tanjong Pagar Railway Station
With not much time left before the impending closure, and Sunday being the last weekend of operations of the Tanjong Pagar Railway Station, Boon Hwee and I decided to make a trip down to the station after the morning’s Green Corridor walk from Railway Mall to Bukit Panjang Crossing. This was my 2nd visit to… Continue reading Another Visit to the Tanjong Pagar Railway Station

Today,… Continue reading Tanjong Pagar Railway Station
A Walk from Bukit Timah Railway Station to Bukit Panjang Level Crossing
Inspired by the posts on Jerome Lim’s The Long and Winding Road and Tan Kar Gee’s A Journey Till the End, as well as the walk by the Green Corridor last week, I decided to explore the south side of the railway, looking for the bridges and level crossings. So, after re-visiting the Bukit Timah… Continue reading A Walk from Bukit Timah Railway Station to Bukit Panjang Level Crossing
Another Visit to the Bukit Timah Railway Station
After attending the Green Corridor walk to the Bukit Timah Railway Station last week, I decided to get Gilbert as well as another couple of friends to go there to shoot again. I also wanted to get a few shots of the token exchange process, a practice still performed here but will be history once… Continue reading Another Visit to the Bukit Timah Railway Station
Bukit Timah Railway Station
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
Short Trip to Kuala Lumpur
Went for a short trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia over the weekend with a few colleagues. Didn’t shoot much as we are mostly indoors shopping, eating, playing card games, drinking and watching TV. As it’s only a short trip, I brought just my trusty Panasonic Lumix LX3 camera and the equally trusty GorillaPod. Mounted the… Continue reading Short Trip to Kuala Lumpur
