Skywatch Friday-Downtown East - Part 1 - Ferris Wheel

My contribution for skywatch must be this beautiful ferris wheel at Downtown East in Pasir Ris. With the background of the night sky without any moon or stars but the colourful lights of the ferris wheel make the whole place so cheerful.

A short video of the ferris wheel in motion and the noisy vehicles whizzing by me.

The building behind the ferris wheel is E hub where there's a 24 hours cinema (with many smaller cinemas within the cinema), a bowling alley, children playground, etc. Beside the ferris wheel is a multi storey car park which is fully packed with cars and no more parking places for late comers.

Looked at the illuminated lights at the multi storey car park.

For other sky watchers, please hop over to Skywatch blog.

Please return to visit for more photos of Down Town East in my next few posts.

Hands Up

Hahaha.....just having fun with taking photos of hands after looking at one of Michelle's post on hands. No prize for guessing which hands belong to me....lol

Go Green Campaign

There's a Go Green Campaign at Compass Point. They are trying to encourage people to go green and teaching them 10 ways how to save the Planet.
I think I did most of the 9 ways but not the no. 10 way. The last way was to ask us buy recycled products. Those recycled products dont come cheap either. I saw them at a department store and they cost a lot.

There is this cute model city made entirely of recycled products such as milk carton, old carpets, mats, table tennis ball, etc

Even the roof of the buildings are made of eggs cartons.

It looked so lovely and cute.

A short video of the model city and the little train (LRT) that can actually move.

Community Library in Shopping Mall-Compass Point

Going to the malls does not meant we are shopping. We can choose to visit the cinemas, bowling, karaoke or even to the library located inside the malls.

Can you spot the library on the highest floor (circled).

This is the Sengkang Community Library. It is like a branch of the main library. We have a few main libraries scattered around the island. Too bad I cant take any photos inside the library and it is sound proof inside the library. This is one of my spot when I want a quiet moment. :)

Pink Saturday-Bazaar

My Pink contribution today will be this bazaar in Chinatown, Singapore.

Lots of artificial flowers on sale at this stall. Spotted any pink flowers?

The couple on the right are my pink subjects in this photo. Also in my photo is the guy wearing orange tee shirt holding a camera. He is so funny. I was actually not taking photo of him but the background behind him. Did not realise that he too find me funny...lol. Take a look at the next photo to see what I meant.

He decided to take my photo too cause he thought I was snapping a photo of him....lol. I did not realised till I looked at my computer and see this funny photo. He looked like a tourist to me. If I knew, I would pose or make funny face for him...hehehehe.

Inside the bazzar are rows of stalls selling all different kinds of things. From clothings to food and it was hot inside cause it is not air conditioned. Best to visit a bazaar must be the night time.

This is one of the few stalls that I like to stop and take a look and I bought some threads and buttons.

They also sell all the daily necessities that one needed. It is so useful to have these stalls at the bazaar.

On the extreme left of this photo are scratchers where you could scratch your back if your hands cant reach the itchy part. On the extreme right of the photo are canes. These canes are not for walking but for whacking....hehehe.

This is a very sensitive topic. I guess most my age (49years) in Asia might probably have caned by our parents. I remembered being caned once only by my mom because I had a fight with my sister....lol.

There's a saying Spare the Rod and Spoil the Child. Many might see this as abuse but some might called it discipline. But there are some who abuse the cane and beaten their kids real bad. As for me, I cane my sons when they fight in school. Most of the time, the cane was hanging by the cupboard to remind them to behave...lol.

Using the cane need special skill.....lol You must know the rules, no caning on other parts of the body except the butt and no marks must be left on them otherwise it will be abuse. But kids are very smart nowadays, they hid the canes from their parents. But not everyone over here use the canes.

For illegals coming to Singapore, beware you not only will be jailed but caned with two strokes. Please come here legally.
