Pasir Ris Town

fly me to the moon

fly me to the moon mid-autumn Chinatown Singapore

Moon Cake Time

Image
Back to some Town Tour. Get some old Chinatown Sreet, as it MOON CAKE TIME. Usually there will be colourful latern and exotic moon cake. Saw a Combo Hotel pack, Hilton Calton Goodwood etc goes over $100. Box in Gold. But you can get a dozen less than $10 at NTUC. to fill you breakfast too.

The Garden just beside Orchard Road

Image
The Botanic Garden Got Extended and  Upgraded and then AWARDED. Then got some MRT station built front and back. Then it going to add some wetland things. Seems Good many things to comes for this old place. For those seldom visit this place, it is totally different now . See it for yourself. And there is no excuse as it so convenient. just beside Orchard Road. Opposite Tingling Mall, less than few minute walk.

" Everyday city Centre " Series

Image
Was going Through a Series call " Everyday city Centre " and Continue with the Ten Town Series.

Convenient of Cooked Food

Image
There is strange proportion of people eating out. First it is the convenient of  Cooked Food. Some of the stall has really high level of earning in spite of the small area. Now it is even Award by some Famous Food Ranking. The variety is Super and Quality is not too bad.

Very Old Bicycle riding

Image
Can't write s full story, quite tedious too. But Chinatown still has its Old Flavour even it is Tourist Hotspot Promoted. Some uncle still riding Super Old Bicycle around. See Left Small.

can't imagine the ticket price is at 2.50 each

Image
Used to watch common movie here at Capitol Theatre very long time ago. can't imagine the ticket price is at 2.50 each . Looks cheap but still the same if count in the inflation. Now it is High End Shopping not for the common.

Town Bukit ho Swee

Image
This is another "famous town"  beside the Tiong Bahru. It is one of the early estate that built after a Big fire Broke Out.

Town Tanjong Pagar

Image
Another cluster of old house . It is now collection of Designer Fashion, Café Restaurant. Not too big a rea, but situated in the town Tanjong Pagar. Next to Chinatown. Heard Jackie Chan bought one of the Corner House with historical value.

Old Town and Fat Boy Award

Image
Some how this Tiong Bahru town went into some World Award Town, with people still living in. It is not really History yet, even the Media Corp still made some TV Series from the Town and People. Local food also went into Fanatic Mood as the Fat Boy Award of Fine Food, start give away prizes in Singapore. One of the Listed company is strangely the Oil chicken of Chinatown Hawker Centre (Official). The Boon Huat Bah gut Teh also Nominated and Show on the News. But seems not in the Official List.

More Specific

Image
Not just general comment. But more of City thru the Lens. May be better content will do. Unesco Status beats Millions Dollar Garden Bay. The Rubber History got some relationship with Botanic. Heard they do some RnD first before the rubber industry booms here. Still need some Science Remodify to IMPROVE the rubber seed for Production. Technical Skill and Know-How still required in Business.

When China Rule the Whole

Image
Back to this SG Lens Series. Singapore still have much Chineseness, luckily. Still can leverage on the Big Power to do something. The Chinese Garden is a Bad Replica of the Imperial Garden. But the Bridge still looks good at certain angle. Things will be much better after the Big Upgrade. A Really big space, not for short runner.
Image
This is actually a quite a complex Medical System. Some medicine TCM is quite strong too. Seems got some mysterious power. This is the De Facto Standard - as it is Beijing Standard. Should be a few level higher . Should be even higher than Yu Yan Seng. Although the packaging may not be as good.
Image
Fin Art Photography Really ? This is the One in the 3 + 1 Formula 29.90. anyone
Image
Should also do a series of A Thousands Why. The Original version is Hundred Thousand Why. Children Series introduction to Popular Science. ( Made in China) Heard the First Verion is a German Idea. China is still a Nuclear Power. Much less in Number. During Cultural Revolution, Some Science Project still goes on. These is even a Nobel Prize Level Science Research back There. Some Medical Cure for Some Disease.
Image
This is a Really Difficult Chinese Word that even Chinese Teacher cannot Pronounce. It call Xin Xin

Anti Enviroment

Image
Very Anti. People are talking about NO SHARK FINs. And you are talking about recommend Bird Nest. Let Animal be Animal. This is a Old Brand that do Hard Direct Marketing. Like say Dragon Brand Bird Nest is Good. And buy up the Prime Time Slot Ads. This should be their HQ at China Town. Never Really tried this Brand all this years. Too Familiar. But should be a Novelty among the Youngs. The Other is the Watch Mei Hua. Even older than Longines . At least Longiness Still get Hong Kong Star still for Marketing.

IRON CLAD GUARENTEED

Image
Bulls or Bear. Not so creative writing. Guess some common A level GP standard is good enough, not so pro. Bullish market suggest rising stock value. Even Buffet recommend Index Fund, yes Buy blue Chip. OCBC has the ready made account for Singapore Blue Chip. But Nothing beats the CPF Special Account 4%. Seems quite ANTI at this point . But Financially Speaking the 4% return is Really a VERY GOOD DEAL. And it is IRON CLAD GUARENTEED . did not really know how this Academic Wizard did this why Banks also cannot Guaranteed things these days.

Small Lens Series

Image
Really cannot beat the Japanese, the Robots are actually the inspiration of Transformers. Like 1 generation early. Japan actually uses Robotic as their Daily Tools in Manufacturing. Not just Fictional Story Movie. The Toy Model are already impressive, not talking about the real things. Like Robotic Arms Manufacturing Lines. See Cruise movie Minority Report. Before there is Transformer , there is Gundam

Occupy Orchard Road

Image
Upgrade the Assignment to Project after watching Angry Bird Movie. This people really coming here for NO GOOD. Ho Chi Ming is right at least in driving out the Foreigner, regardless of the Ideology. The Fox Intension is Exposed. Although no one got noticed, it got Bad to Worst. The Recommendation is Defend something like "Nan Quan Tutorial" (check You Tube) It is not even about Rice Bowl, it is threatening.

Cow Car Water

    Cow Car Water

The Real Kopi Tiam

Image
Real Coffee at 1.20. Forget about Star Buck and Foodcourt. The original Coffee house still go strong in the 21 century. Manage to keep up with the world. Some original recipe still keeps secret in family. Some choose to "Franchise the Old Business Model" Mr. Kun has inspired Thousands of Family Stall. One Day ...just one Days... Will be AS RICH AS Mr KUN

Teochew Building

Image
Still Conducting Teochew Class, as in spoken language. It is actually a People (Race) and a Place. Not a Small one , more than 2X of Singapore in Population, locals about 7-8 millions. Plus others in other Chinese Provinces (think Li Ka-Shing of Hong Kong). And many unregistered Over-sea Population. Include a Big Ethnic Clan in Singapore. Happy Dumpling Days.

This Should be a Good One.

This Should be a Good One. Singapore River Series http://www.imagekind.com/City-Singapore-HDR_art?IMID=8f00b679-991a-4ce2-bbe7-fe3f6c97a042

Singapore River 2016 ( HDR PRINT)

Image
Prefer this Singapore River Capture than othes. May be more of nostalgic purpose, as its 500px score is not so hight. May be can "MMARKET" it as a Feel Effect. Some Capture are put on Prints available, other are on demand. The Gallery Imagekind is almost like Dead. Unless you particularly like that capture, can check out the Account Imagekind  http://sghomedeco.imagekind.com/

Image
May be There is Really   a Market for Fine Art Photography. At least something like Design Interior. Looks not too bad with Frame  

National Gallery Singapore - Whats New

Image
This is One Big Treasure Den for the Arty Farty. A Gallery Week end Tour for the Rest of the Population. The entrance looks cool. And most people will be interest what the Supreme Court looks like. Rather than some Famous Art Piece that is not really easy to appreciate. Guess the Visiting Tourist will have better know How than the Locals. The Big Slope Like Gold Pate is the Addition. Guess its some kind of Feature Master Piece itself.

Scenic Town - Guess Where

Image
Too Glossy for Town Scene Editorial. More like some Scenic Place in Singapore. But really it is New Town Pasir Ris. May be its the Coconut Tree Exotic. The Reflection. And HDR Photography. With some sound packaging, it still a passable commercial interior Supply production. Available soon in Soft Mounting.

....sensitive and such...

Image
This is Possibly the Richest Part of Singapore, somewhere in  China Town. No One will believe, most will pick the Banks Buildings Shenton and Orchard. But it the the Club House Mahjong place of Early Colonial Tow Kay the Wealthiest Clan of Clans. Not just local in Singapore Term Not even Richest of SG + MSia. BUT RICHEST IN SOUTH EAST ASIA. The Oversea Chinese see itself as one Entity, regardless of Nationalities in the Old Days. So Wealthy it can Sponsored Revolution and War Effort in Mainland China. Imagine in todays term Like 1-2 generation earlier then the Three Big Chinese Bank of Today, all linkage in this small Mahjong Club and Clan Associations

City + El Nino

Image
      Since the Earth is under the El Nino Spell.  Global Heat went up a few degree, even some south Malaysia River Got dries up. Singapore urban is not much affect strangely/ It is Hot in the first place. And many people works in Air Con Environment.   Water Treatment Technology make its artificially possible to "Make Water" Guess someday got to reverse supply the Water. May Be. The Weakest Point suddenly becomes a Strong Advantage..

River + Tree + Shop House

Image
Cross Process this River Scene. Its a Modern Shot. SG river is totally different then. The Shop House is now High End Class Property. Seems like a Club house for the Ang-Mohs Generals. Toast and chat after Office Hours. Mr Smith still has its Little Territory in the CBD Central. Just don't get too drunk, local police are BUSY.

River + Boat + City

Image
The highest resolution will be TIFF file. Normal people use JPG file. There is a compressed high resolution call PNG, which is something in between. Unless you are using for A0 or A1 Size. JPG should be good enough.. Those Human size 1:1 guess need some RAW for full details Just some Technical Info.

Some Good Editorial Photography Singapore

Image
May have some Commercial Editorial Value, so added some Watermark for Copyright purpose. Can be purchased at Fotolia Stock Agency. May be will do some more "Full Story" on this Photography Stuff. Some Explanation Story Presentation. Will get a full Picture Story Roughly. The City Centre CBD B/W at the Rush Hour. The Buildings Architecture looks not as New as the Marina Financial Centre for Sure. But much of Asia Finance Activity are Anchored here. You can find may be all the major Financial Institution Brand Major here at all in one place. The T Shirt Singapore Design should be out in limited quantity. Tentively call it Project Xiao Dong Fang Design and Production .

Food Culture

Image
Northern Chinese Attack. The Dumplings and Bun (mun tuo) are more of the North Chinese things.  Shui Jiao is somewhat different from Cantonese Wanton. Although both seems like close relative. The Dumblings sellings on its own like the Siew Mai, and it is a Main Dish , not Dim Sum Dessert like. This one is from Bedok Hawker Centre. Going through Reno after N.ew Opening recently, strange.

Panorama, Esplanade and the new "Independence Bridge"

Image
Not a totally new shot, but not too long ago. Finally got some good stitching software that do some good pano. Not much distortion. Esplanade and the new "Independence Bridge"

National Gallery - Town City Hall

Image
This is actually the latest new shot. Telling the Story Little is the Hard part. Guess the Mood is too Imitating for Common People. Although its free for Singapore Local. It seems there is a Sign say " Don't enter unless you understand High Art" Guess they Curate Lots of Established Works by Established Artist. Which has Commercial and Art Value. The Town is the City Hall Beside.

City HDR

Image
Going Back to some HDR Photography. Guess the not-to-over process version is still acceptable. Looks quite natural, just  "High quality " rather that over-saturated. A earlier HDR City of City Center. May Market as Quality Prints for Décor and such.

From A Bus Window (East SG)

Image
From Bus Window. Surprise the long stretch of Street with Old Buildings. Different from HDB Singapore and City Singapore. Many Middle Class Small House, Many of them. Feel like a Redevelopment Officer looking for some Urban Redevelopment. Guess 75% of this Non-Heritage can be Re-Develop. Cannot touch 25% with Heritage Value. According to Social Democracy-Capitalist Theory. Good for Public, Condo Mass much High value than Small house.

Stadium by the River

Image
Stadium by the River Town Stadium. River and Sport Stadium don't comes together. But the New stadium is beside the River Kallang.

Kallang River and House

Image
Kallang River and House This is a Remote Area, near the City but a real river Kallang. The Architecture is good, water is Blue. Near the New circuit Line.

Singapore Geographic - Sounds Nice

Image
Quite reluctant to publish this shot in the blog, always think should sell as a Print. But do some promo for this City thru Lens, hopefully this series comes out as a small book. Or even subscription, something like  Singapore Geographic. Then the Revenue will be Recurring and Paperless. The Good thing about this Gallery Supreme Court. Now you can go to the Justice Hall and even Pose beside the The Big Seat of Ta Fa Guan - The CHIEF JUSTICE. Cool, will try someday.

Arab Street and Such - The Untold Street of Singapore

Image
Always heard the Arabs has very Good Business Skill. Of course they invented the Number for Accounting. Latest Read up reveal a Big Surprise, the Persian Science is More Advance in the Very Old Century. May choke many , you means the Trouble making Middle East is MORE ADVANCE, you must be NUTS. History actually say the SCIENCE ARISTOTLE was popular in the Persian Empire. Then Spread back to Europe in the Late Century. Got to dig vey back old History. This Singapore Arabs street actually is Very Clean, cleaner than many Singapore Street. The curry fish head is super good. And got many SPECIALISED Meditarrian Food,  heard it is very healthy kind of food. This is the Untold Street of Singapore

Recycle for Writing Practise

Image
Recycle this City Capture for Writing Practise. At least get the Technical grammar and Content flowing. Will not do too often, most are Original Photography Shot by Default. But City Center got too many Story to Tell. Just One Building Corprate Story whether it is OCBC or NTUC has VERY LONG STORY behind. Longer than Singapore River itself

Town Series 2 : Stadium Town

Image
    Town Series 2 : Stadium Town This is the entrance of the Kallang Wave. The Sport Town Main Mall. Very Up to Date Interior with latest Facilities. Not just the STADIUM, it a Total Concept. Even has a Mega Chess Board Out-Door. If Chess is a Sport, more of a Game Strategy.
