梦乡 Sweet Dream

 


看来能无忧无虑的进入梦乡,不愁衣食者,唯有宠物!

看它睡得多惬意!

To be free of all worries, and enjoy a pleasant uninterrupted sleep is a blessing indeed!

Most of us are troubled by mundane tasks and thoughts daily. There are so many things to be done within the confine of 24 hours...

Look at our pet dog, Mantis! Such a blissful sleep!

灯饰 ILight2024

又是一年一度的灯饰会,地点同以往一样,灯饰都分别摆放在滨海湾的各个角落。

前几天乘着周末,搭地铁到滨海湾去,拍拍哪里夜景及灯饰。

新加坡本土,没有令人叹为观止的自然景观,但却不缺少硬体人造景观。

滨海湾的旋螺桥与宾滨沙酒店便是其中的佼佼者。




那犹如神主牌的滨沙酒店,比原来的鱼尾狮更具有代表性。

今年的灯饰,没什么特别看头。抱着游客的心情,走走看看,也有另一方滋味。






ILight 2024 commenced over one week ago. It runs for about 3 weeks till end of June. 
Went for a stroll around Marina Bay to observe the light decors, and snap some photos last week.


Took a train ride from Dakota MRT station to Promenade MRT station. Avoided driving a car there because parking was expected to be difficult at Marina Bay Sand.
Spend nearly 2 hours there....

格格不入 incongruity


附近的运动跑道有一片草丛,间中有钢管水泥点缀;野草高度达半尺左右,但还是掩盖不了钢管。漆黑的钢管,在夕阳的照耀下,反射片面的亮光。

那钢管铁直的硬体,与随风摇摆的野草,显得格格不入,简直是牛头不对马嘴!

人生,有时也会碰到类似的窘境,与旁人完全无法沟通。但日子还是得度过!

Life is full of challenges.

Human beings are very "colourful". Everyone is different in his/her own way. 

When there is stark incongruity in characters / thoughts, conflicts will inevitably erupt. Handling challenges arise from these conflicts is an art to be mastered!

擎天柱 Heavenly pillar of strength

住家附近在兴建公寓。工地内矗立着几只“擎天柱”,鲜艳夺目。

工地围栏外便是运动走道,傍晚时分,来往的行人,有慢步行走的,健跑的,遛狗的,毫无顾虑的在运动走道穿梭!

神话里的擎天柱,是什么模样的呢?那蓝天真的是给擎天柱撑上来的吗?

A number of cranes sprout out in the condominium construction site nearby. They resemble that of mighty heavenly pillars that support the sky!

Will the world crumble without their support?

感触 Sentiment


这不是民宅。它好像是某政府机构的仓库。我每次经过附近,都觉得它蛮赏心悦目!它总给我处于欧洲的感觉。

I know I am not in Europe. But somehow, whenever I walk pass this building, it never fails to enthral me. The squarish build, the contrasting colours of orange and blue, surrounded by green...It is simply amazing.

春光乍泄· filtering through

一个人的潜在光芒,会潜意识的显露出来,外来的阻挡,也许能暂时掩盖得住,但最终还是难以遮挡那锐光。

黑暗往往赢不了亮光!


Light will always find its way through various obstruction and crevices.

One's inner strength and talent will eventually be appreciated by someone. Persevere and you will succeed!

等 Forlorn

住家附近的运动跑道,在建筑工地的围栏外,停摆了一个红色塑胶椅子。空凳摆在同一个地方,已有好一段日子,不知何故?此场景给人一种落寞的感觉。。。它似乎在等一个人?!

Came across a plastic red stool, left behind just outside the barrier separating a HDB construction site. Is it waiting for someone to come along? It carries a melancholy forlorn mood...


无度有偶,在对岸的水电管理局的围栏外,也停摆着一辆脚踏车,似乎没有上锁。应该是其主人临时有事,把它暂停一旁。

Then, there was another bicycle left idling next to a PUB (public utility board) pump station. It was partially shaded, implying that the owner was probably leaving it aside to run some errant. And true enough, it was gone when I walked pass the same place the next day.


隔天晚上,再路过此地时,脚车已经不再了。

枷锁 Chained

 


原以为可以骑着铁马,无拘无束的四处奔驰。那里料到铁马本身已被人套上枷锁,动弹不得!可以看得出来,它已经受限多日,铁链都生锈了。

Fancy oneself to travel without any restraints to places of interest. But alas, the vehicle was chained and hence helpless to our desire to travel! Where is the key to freedom???

地气 Down to earth

凡人的生活方式,要接近地气,才能心平气和。若太过好高骛远,往往会因为达不到预期的目的而失望。

好比每日的用餐,在邻里小贩中心进行,价廉物美,并不逊色与在餐馆用餐。

小贩中心又大多毗邻政府组屋,更加接近地气。

Hawker centre @ Circuit Rd

Unless one is very rich, one should live within our means. We should be down to earth. 

For instance, taking breakfast in hawker centre, traveling by public transport, buying sundry items from wholesale shops / economic shops is nothing to be ashamed of.
