Vintage Car

I saw this vintage car at the carpark of changi museum. It looked so lovely.

It has a red license plate which indicate it is a weekend car. The Weekend Car Scheme allowed the owner of a car to drive it only during specified hours, mainly on weekends. The objective of this system was to allow Singaporeans, especially the lower income groups, to own cars without contributing to traffic congestion and also to those who only need to drive their cars only on weekends.

Bus Interchange


Just one of the many bus interchanges around Singapore. This is a rather small bus interchange. The bus interchanges in other estates are bigger and some are located under shopping malls and are air conditioned.

Bicycle Bay


This is a bicycle parking bay. (Sorry for the blur photo - it was taken by my mobile phone)
Wondered if the owner is parking just the wheel or did someone stole the bicycle and left only the wheel locked in the bicycle bay.

For more bicycle parking bay, you can view my previous posting.

Duck Tours (Part 2)

Here is where we begin our descend from land to sea.
Everyone were so excited to watch the boat splash right into the Kallang River.

I was in the first boat, the boat behind were the group of lucky students with their teachers out on an excursion.


As our boat started to descend into the water, it was a bit bumpy.


Then splash into the river the boat went, the wheels of the boat could not be seen and we spend about 40 minutes on sea cruising the Kallang River and Singapore River.





The boat with the students and teachers caught up with us and I managed to take a nice photo of the boat.

DuckTours (Part 1)

Today I will post a series of my adventure onboard the ducktours. The ducktours is actually a refurbished ex-military amphibious vehicle which can travel on both land and water. The tour is an hour long adventure both on sea and land.

Look closer at the boat where you can see the markings at the side.

The boat is real huge and everyone were so excited onboard the boat including me as this is the first time I am riding in one.

Look at the signboard, it is so funny. It read: " No eating, smoking and YAWNING allowed....hahaha.

More photos in later posts. To read more about the ducktours, you can visit their website.

Time Out Part 3 - Duck Tours

Time Out Part 3 is about another group of students being brought out by teachers on another adventure. The students were so lucky and they are so excited too.

The students get the chance to ride the ducktours which could travel both on land and sea.
I too was excited...hehehe...cause I was one boat ahead of these students that was why I saw the students having fun and excitement.

I will post about my adventures on board the ducktours in another post. :)

Trishaw in Chinatown

Another entry for my chinatown postings. One way of getting around chinatown is to ride in a trishaw.

During the olden times, the trishaw is a two wheeled transport manually pulled by a man in front, it is known as rickshaw. Mostly the rich can afford to sit a trishaw back then. The man pulled rickshaw operated from Jinrickshaw Station in Neil Road.

Bicycle Parking Bay

This is a bicycle parking bay in the heartland of Singapore. Everything in Singapore is so organized and orderly, that is why we have low crime but not no crime
