I’m in Singapore!

October 9th, 2006 by ShaolinTiger at 2:56 AM MYT - 2,139 views

Yes indeed I'm in ~~Stinkapore~~ Singapore with my Mom! It's cool, no time to update though really see if I can grab an hour to do it tommorow, here's a taster from todays trip.

Yes I got out of Manila and came straight to Singapore to meet my Mom.

It's really hard shooting with two prime (fixed) lenses, 50mm and 90mm. I tried a super wide angle lens in Peninsular Plaza yesterday too, oh I love it..10-20mm.

Chinatown

We tramped around Chinatown today, pretty interesting place. A bit commercialised nowadays though like everything else.

Mom!

Pagoda Street and the Hindu Temple, some mad stuff going today with people walking on coals.

Pagoda Street

Must sleep now almost 3am zzz, headache.

If you're hanging out the Boat Quay area, you can try their super huge Sri Lanka crabs, but taste wise not as good as in KL.

@v0ices - cheers! I thought that it must have been one of those internet "tubes"
Now, of course, I am going to have to find out how to actually use them....volunteers?

Awww, come on, Singapore ain't all that bad... Not all of us are like the infamous blogger(and your incompetent arch-nemesis) Xiaxue.

Mama Bok: Hehe sorry didn't take any pictures of food this time, was more into sight seeing, and was too ravenously hungry by the time I ate from all the walking to take any shots!

wm: Yah I prefer the Chili Sri Lanka crabs in KL, more variety too and only RM18 per kg not SGD45!

Jo: Who said I hate Singapore?

Kuzco: Thanks!

Kelvin: No fish soup this time.

Intensecure: Thanks dude, make sure you do, she'll love it. My Mom does like to ~~check up on me~~ visit frequently And it was me who fixed your strike

xpyre: I did check out Esplanade, no time for pics though as it was the end of the day, just stopping by Raffles on the way home. I'll do it next time when I have my tripod, planning some Macro in the Botanical gardens too.

Nicktay & James: Thanks I really like that one too.

MJ: Don't be shy, say hello! Not sure, seems good, got them for SGD68.

Ferdinand: Seeing my Mom!

senbai: hehe it's knowing how to use them too, the 50mm f/1.8D isn't that sharp unless you hit the right spots!

Aunty Ningku: I take pics of places, not spgs and hairy old ang mohs

Lowzeewee: Nah it's not all bad, don't get the wrong idea

tika: Karma is a great thing, I'm sure something lovely will happen to you too

ShaolinTiger is just trying to be controversial. He is desperate for attention, and he wants to grab it from us by doing such an indespicable thing. Just you watch out, you bleady 'angmoh' man! Have a tight grip on your new camera, and look around you after parking your car... I may just be lurking around. =P
