Hello, everyone!

What follows is a narrative of some of the stuff I've experienced over the holidays and would like to share. In other words, this is the narcissist side of me asserting itself. Please check your skepticism at the door before you read on (especially if you've been overseas).

Here are some photos of my exploits during the holidays. Yes, poor me was stuck in Singapore the whole hols. Tried to make the best out of it by visiting some of the more interesting parts (I'm aware this is subjective) of Singapore. The first set of photos are from Henderson Waves, the highest bridge in Singapore. I went a little trigger-happy with the shutter button, but I'll just put up a few.


The waves are a nice bit of aesthetic design. And it's design meets functionality, since those waves serve as alcoves for shelter from the blistering sun.


My best attempts to depict the height of the bridge have met without much success. Up there, height is an emotion, a giddy, awe-inducing emotion. It's worse still if you peer through the cracks between the planks. It's a long drop to the busy road below.


The actual bridge from another perspective, taken after I've overcome my obsession with the height. And no, those aren't my brothers. =)


Umbrellas won't help when you're that high up.



The Marina Barrage's next.


Of all the technical terms I could use to describe what they're doing at the Barrage, perhaps this photo would suffice. If an explanation's still needed, they're converting the Marina Basin into a body of freshwater. There's also flood control being done there. For more details, go to Wiki.

Say 'Hi' to the NeWater kid.

This last one's taken at East Coast Park. It caught my eye because it's a form of graffiti, which you don't exactly see a lot of in Singapore, especially in a park where everything's so regulated.


That's all for now. I do hope to see your Kodak moments too, everyone. Still, finish your homework first.

Edit: This blogging is annoyingly difficult to use for a first-timer.

Signed,
Soon Hui
