Scary Face in the Cloud


Do you see what I see? I felt that the cloud looked like a scary face and there was some white smoke coming out of its mouth.

Thanks to Tom for hosting Sky Watch. For other sky watchers, you can go to Tom's skywatch blog.

Chinatown shophouses (2)




More photos of shophouses in Chinatown. These shophouses had a long history and had been here since the British Rules. Many had been restored and renovated. Some are used as shops and restaurants while some are used as offices. The one above with the red windows is a chinese restaurant called Yum Cha, selling "dim sum".

Chinatown shophouses


This is just one of the very old shophouses presevered. These buildings were built during the British rule, that is why you could see many buildings with Victorian architecture. For more information of chinatown and its buildings you can view them here.

By night, some of the streets in chinatown would become a food street.

Not sure what these sculptures meant as there are no information about them.

Painting and Redecoration Works at HDB Apartment


From the view of my brother's flat I could these workers doing the painting work on the opposite block of flats. It is a very dangerous job for the painters even though they have safety belts, etc.

These are HDB flats which majority of Singaporean lived in. Every 5 years the town council would repaint and redecorate the estates.

For more information on the public housing in Singapore, you could see from here.
