It used to be Home

I just finish a job and was on my way to another when I passed this neigbourhood next to Kallang MRT station. The residents have moved out and the blocks are sealed and ready for demolition. People still walk pass this estate which used to be someone's home, and I remember that the Macdonalds was still open 2 months back. The carpark is still open to public though.

I grew up in an estate like this too. Nostalgia struck me eveytime I chanced upon one that is vacant and ready to be demolished. Soon, new blocks of apartment may take its place and all that remains are memories for a child, a newly-wed couple or an old couple who used to live there. It seems that in this fast-changing society, we can only hold on to memories, and everything else passes by. Some developments around us make no sense to me. If only we can leave things the way they are.

The Gown

She sent me this picture of her trying the gown. I am lost for words...

Quality Time

I am off from work the past 2 days. Finally, I get to sleep late on a Sunday morning, love to see the sunlight when I wake up, then sleep some more. I let this happen a few times. The Sunday spread was quite generous with our pictures and not much cropping was done to mine. Another reason to make my day.
Dazel has got an appointment with the groomer. He messed up my car, Im fine with it cos he rarely gets a ride.
I learnt a lesson, always tell the groomer how short you want it, if not they will go all the way....and thats how Dazel ended up like this.

He looks quite pathetic at first and does not want to be photographed. I steal a shot when he was hiding under the table. A game of fetch does the job and he is back to his usual self.

First 1 Out

Taken on Saturday night at a Deepavali parade. The atmosphere was electrifying with Indian percussions, dances and a rowdy crowd. This was an accident. I pressed the shutter while I was running to find a good spot as the fireworks goes off. They always say that its going to be blasting for 7 mins thereabouts. I have learned to take it with a pinch of salt, and tried to get the shot during the first few blast. Always feel like less than 1 minute when its over.

I like the raw quality of this shot, and it makes my head spin.
