A very simple photo of the sky for Skywatch Friday. The moon is so high up in the sky, I could not take with the surrounding scenery. There is just the wee bit of light on the crescent moon.

My World Tuesday - Singapore Election 2011
What's happening in Singapore today? It is the election fever. Once every five years, we get to choose our government. On 7th May, all adult Singaporeans get to go to the poll to cast our votes.
Last week, my siblings dragged me to the Rally to watch the opposition giving speech. I hated large crowds and I seldom like to be caught in such huge crowd. But last week, I decided to give it a try cause I have never attend a rally before...lol
The Rally will start at 7.30 pm but we were there by 6 pm to ensure we get seats in the stadium cause the rally will last for two and half hours and we dont want to stand in the field for so long.
Looked at the two guys (circled) carrying the a hammer, it is the symbol of the opposition that night giving the speech. It looked like they are attending a football match and people supporting their favourite team.
Some even came prepared, bringing food and mats as if they were having a picnic. I sported some carrying their own stools and chairs to the rally.
Soon the sky is getting dark and the crowd is getting bigger.
We were the lucky few thousands to get seats in the stadium, the rest stand in the field for two and half hours to watch the rally.
Wow I have never seen such huge crowd in this stadium before and I think it is about 30,000 people or more. The crowd spills out of the stadium too. It is strange the opposition always attract large crowd but in past records they dont win much seats.
My camera screen is too small to capture the whole scene.
At 10 pm, the rally ended and the crowd dispersed too. I am surprised that despite such a huge crowd, it is nice not to see a single fight or riots that night. No matter who we vote, we are all Singaporeans. Put on your thinking cap and decide who you want to be your government.
Just a short video showing the mood of the crowd that night.

Should I vote for the ruling party to ensure a safe and secure country? Or should I vote for the opposition because of some unpopular policies? Or should I spoilt my vote cause the candidates in the either party looked like they are not made for politics.
I believe politicians are born and not made. This year spotted some very good candidates in both parties (the ruling party and opposition).
Frankly speaking, I am neutral and am still thinking hard about my vote...lol.

Skywatch Friday
Hot weather is back in Singapore. This is the roof top of Vivo City. Everyone hiding in the shade hahaha. The view from the roof top of vivo city is very beautiful whether it is day or night. One day, I must come in the night and take photo from here.
From the roof top, I could see PSA (Port of Singapore Authority) just next to the bridge linking mainland Singapore and Sentosa. Take note of the boardwalk with shelter infront of the bridge. You can view photos of the Sentosa boardwalk from my previous post.
The cranes all looked like mechanical giraffes.

My World Tuesday - Cruise
Wow the cruise ship looked so big from the rooftop of Vivo City. I hope to go on a cruise ship one day. Above the cruise ship are cable cars that goes to and fro Sentosa. The new cruise terminal will be ready by end of this year and will be located at Marina South.
Some of the cruise ship will docked at Penang. You can view my travel blog where the cruise ship docked at in Penang.
The ferry in the front background is the Batam Fast that I took when I visited Batam, Indonesia. I took this photo from harbour front.

Clementi Town
Wow these two blocks of 40 storey HDB flats just above the clementi mall. They looked so impressive and beautiful. Very convenient place to stay cause it is near the MRT station with good amentities surrounding it. I bet it must be very expensive.
Nice to spend a day just looking at the town centre seeing people shopping, working, doing their own stuff or just taking a stroll just like me.
Many choices of food in the Clementi Hawker Centre.
This is an old mall just next to the new Clementi Mall.
Very interesting sculpture infront of the Clementi Mall.
Wondering why so many people queuing infront of the shop?
Cheap hair cut at only few dollars. Wow if I just stay around here and just want to trim my hair, worth coming here. Few shops offering only few dollars hair cut. I saw one shop offering only $4.90 for a hair cut. Never had such cheap hair cut before.
