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.

No fishing sign

I saw this "No Fishing" sign along Singapore River. It looked cute, I thought it was "No catching of Snake" sign...hahaha.

Temple door handle.

I saw this beautiful door handle on the front door of a temple in chinatown door. It looked so lovely.

Lions and dragons have been an important symbol for most cultures.

The ring in the mouth of the lion is for hitting on the door to let the owner know someone is at the door.

Quiz No. 3

Another quiz for those interested. :)

Look at the above photo, there are four men carrying placards at the road junction in South Korea. Guess what are they doing.

Clue: They are not part of a protest demonstrations. They are being punished. What are they being punished for? For littering, speeding, fighting, stealing? Go ahead and guess unless you can read the korean language on the placards of the crime they did...hehehe.

Answer will be revealed on Thursday or earlier if there are a lot of correct answers. Have fun.

The answer is out. See here.

Moon

It was one of the early mornings that I was looking out of the window, as a worried mom, wondering why my son is still not back from his outings.

The streets were so quiet and then I saw this huge moon looking at me as if to tell me, dont worry your son is fine. :)

It really was huge so I grabbed my camera and zoomed on the moon and I swear I think I could see the surface of the moon...hahaha.

You can click the photo to enlarge and let me know if you think you could see the moon surface too or was it my imagination...hehehe

East Coast Park-Sandcastle

Saw this beautiful sandcastle on the beach in East Coast Park. I alway loved to make sandcastle but mine is nothing like this....lol. I wondered who made this beautiful sandcastle.

Signs at East Coast Beach

Still about East Coast Park, for those who are afraid of the cable ski (in my earlier post ), there are more ways to enjoy the park.

You can walk and admired the surrounding scenery and the beautiful trees in the park.

If you do not like to walk then you can jog.

Not like walking or jogging, then go for the roller skating or roller blading.

I choose the cycling, my favourite past time at East Coast Beach. :)

All the above signs are painted on the pathways in East Coast Park. There are different paths for cyclists and pedestrians so that cyclists wont knock down pedestrians as the crowds can be heavy during weekend.

SKI360° in East Coast Park

This is Singapore’s first cable ski facility, SKI360°, in East Coast Park.

The rider would waited for a rope to taut and drag him across the sea.
When he fall, he had to grab his board and walked back to the starting point and started all over again.

Sculpture at Esplanade Mall

Here is another sculpture found at Esplanade Mall.

I cant figure out what it is. Is it a star fruit or water melon or cactus? I guess that is what Art is all about. You are supposed to guess or ponder or admire....lol

This is one of the few sculptures found in Raffles Place.

I guess the boat symbolises the earlier lifestyles of our forefathers who came from other parts of the world and survival in the small boat to come to Singapore to earn a living.

The above sculptures depicted the way of life during the early Singapore in Raffles Places where antique cars and horses drawn carts were the mode of transport.

Singapore has progressed and advanced to be a modern, branded and wealthy country. That is what the title of the sculpture is about.

Singapore River

Singapore River has a very rich history. It used to be the river mouth for trade activities. Many bum boats will carry goods from bigger ships in the sea to this river. Here the coolies/workers (see earlier post) will carry the goods from the bum boats to the warehouse, etc.

The river used to be dirty and smelly cause of the congestion of boats but since the big clean up in 1977, the river is so much cleaner and not smelly anymore. It is a beautiful view to look with all the tall buildings beside the river. For more information of Singapore River, you can view them here.

Anderson Bridge

Day view of Anderson Bridge

Night View of Anderson Bridge taken from another direction.

Anderson bridge was opened in 1910. It was named after Sir John Anderson, the governor of the Straits Settlement from 1904-1911.

It comprises three steel arches with supporting steel ribs extending across them, two rusticate archways and a fluted pier at each end.

Anderson bridge is a typical 3-hinged arch bridge. The arches use a curved structure which provides a high resistance to bending force.

Today, Anderson Bridge continues to serve as a carriageway for the many vehicles travelling between Connaught Drive and Shenton Way(Source: http://www1.moe.edu.sg/learn@/singaporerivertrail/sec/G041_Dunman_Sec/bridges.htm)
