Activities on Kallang River

What to you do on a hot day? Go near water. Here are some of the activities along Kallang River that are a favourite with many sporty people including my son. But I rather hide myself in the air conditioning shopping mall...lol.

Kayaking, Canoeing, Dragon Boating are very familar sights along Kallang River. My son's favourite is the kayak.

Kallang River

This is Kallang River. How the name Kallang came about is very interesting.

The Biduanda Orang Kallang, a people group found in Java, constituted at least 50% of the 1000 residents found in Singapore at the time of Raffles' landing. They were a shy, primitive river people who were boat-dwellers, and had lived in the swamps at the mouth of the Kallang River, which thereafter took on their name. (Source: Infopedia )

Today the Kallang River has been cleaned up from a swampy river to a very beautiful and clean river. There are many private condominiums on the waterfront and they are very beautiful and of course expensive.

Sun Setting on May Day

This photo was taken on May Day. It was a very hot day here in Singapore.

Every sun setting is different. I like this photo of the sun setting very much. I hope you all like it too.

I dont have much luck taking photo of the moon, dont get to see the moon that often...lol. Wondered where the moon went.

I hope this post get to sky watch. I am one day late because of time difference...arggghhh...so sorry.

Thanks to Tom for hosting sky watch.

A beautiful pattern of cloud

Sometimes it is nice to capture the sky. You can see the different patterns of the clouds. If you looked at the first photo, you might think it would be raining but looked at the below photo.

It was actually sun setting. Night is falling. My apartment has great view of sunsetting but I dont have a sea view...hahaha. I would really love to have a sea view apartment but then it would be very costly.

UOB Plaza

These two tall buildings are very beautiful. They are UOB Plaza Buildings . UOB stands for United Overseas Bank.

You can see another wide angle of Singapore River here.
