Kucinta Sculpture
I did not take a good photo(not the perfect angle) of these cat sculptures cause it started to rain and I was trying to protect my camera, so this is the only photo of the cats. There are about 15 such cat sculptures along Singapore River, sadly some are stolen.

The River Merchants
These sculptures are done by by Dr Aw Tee Hong.
The sitting sculpture is one of Singapore's earliest merchants, Mr Alexander Laurie Johnston, interacting with the local merchants.
The sculpture of these coolies(workers) loading goods onto a bullock cart, a common sight during the earlier days of Singapore.
Behind this sculpture is the Maybank which is sponsoring these sculptures. The Maybank Tower site is the original site of Mr Johnston's godown - Alexander Laurie Johnston & Co.
A common sight of teachers bringing students out on a live history lesson. A lesson out of the classroom. I think it is great.
Note: There are about 30 sculptures along the Singapore River, I hope to find them all but some are quite small and the river is quite long.

First Generation Sculpture
The above photo of the sculpture is titled "First Generation".
The sculpture was done by Chong Fah Cheong
The bronze sculpture shows five boys jumping into the river for a swim just like the people who stay near the river did in the past.

Bank Promotion
The mannequins on the scaffoldings are part of a bank's promotion. The bank is promoting its commercial international centre. That was why the mannequins were dressed in international costumes.
At first glance, I thought there were workers doing some painting or renovation near the bank...lol.

Scary Cloud
The weather seems to be changing everyday. Been raining heavily end of last year and we finally see nice weather in February and now it is raining heavily again.
This scary dark cloud was taken last week at around 7 pm. It was going to rain but the sky looked so gloomy and dark and scary and when it finally rain it was scary with the sound of the strong wind especially so when I stay in a highrise apartment.
