老友 Friends

对面几位年长者聚集在一起,似乎在谈论些趣事。是不是老友并不重要,能够单独在外步行,与他人闲聊些琐事,才难能可贵。

若没有病患缠身,更可说是一绝!

As one ages, it doesn't matter if your acquaintances are old friends or not.

As long as there is someone around to talk to, it is a good way to maintain good mental health.

The ability to ambulate independently and enjoy the warm sunlight in the evening is a luxury as one ages.

地标 Landmark

去外国游玩,往往之为了游览他国的名胜及地标。
乘着周末的空闲时段,拿了相机,到滨海广场去逛逛。
八点十分左右在国会大厦的停车场停车,在附近的地标逛逛。
在维多利亚剧院处,停了不少旅游巴士。有好几组旅客在附近观光,拍照。

St Andrew's Cathedral, which has just completed a renovation recently

Victoria Theatre

大草场正在为8月9日国庆戏台与座位筹备。



附近的旅游地标。。。

Esplanade Theatre (@Durian House), The Flyer


MBS Hotel @ The Altar

The Merlion... Tourists abound

The Flyer

新加坡没有撼人的天然景色,只好靠人造近乎鬼斧神工的硬体物件来取胜。

Doing a tourist's thing this morning. 
Explore the surrounding of Esplanade...
The iconic landmarks were not bad at all!

衣着 Attire




在衣着这方面,我属于笨拙保守派。

小时候的衣服装饰,父母说了算。 

在我上大学时,终于可以自己选购衣服装饰。我的品味,着实令人嗤之以鼻。我的某位同学,曾经评论,我的衣服颜色怎么就好比戴孝般,灰淡老土。

后来工作了好一段日子,才开始购买颜色较鲜艳的服饰。

Fashion and style are never my forte. My clothes tend to be sedated and old fashion.

Brightly coloured clothes are not my style. 

Partly because of financial constraint, I never spend too much money on clothes /shoes... even up to now (when I am financially stable).

Perhaps, it is time to enjoy and be more "flashy"!

偶遇 Destiny

世间万事冥冥中似乎早已注定。为何某某人会结为好友,或反目为仇,说也说不清。

就好比以上照片,红衣骑士为何经过此小道,该如何解释呢?

It seems that a lot of so called "chanced occurrence" is probably pre-determined by destiny.

Can destiny be altered? Probaby. For instance, we might be destined to bump into each other; but we could also choose to ignore each other...

点缀 embellishment

绿叶,在不同颜色花朵的衬托下,才不觉得单调。
人要衣装,佛要金装,是有一定的道理的。




Sometimes, we need some unusual elements to spice up our mundane life. Otherwise, life can be rather boring. Just like a bright spark will suddenly lights up a dark surrounding. A smile will push melancholy thought away.
In nature, leaves or grass without flowers will be rather dull... just like the photo below...


But, fortunately, there is something in the background to break the monotomy!

桥下 Under the bridge

武侠小说里,桥下往往会杀机重重 ,陷阱密布。也在桥下,武林侠客们隐身密会,商谋武林大事。

现实中,闹市的桥下,有时会是无家可归者的落脚地。

当然,也有能者,会把桥下改造成运动通道及休闲所在。





To make it pleasant to roam under the bridge, firstly the river must be clean, and walkway clear of any clutters.

It will be better if gentle breeze whistles through under the bridge!

练习 Practice

台上一分钟,台下十年功。很多绝学,不是随便接触几回,便能上手。

即使天生有那天赋,也要小心栽培,天赋才能发光发亮!

摄影这一门学问,也不例外!

这几年来,偶尔会把玩手上的相机,拍些照片来自怡。还没有真正往外逛,捕捉些街影。只有在慢步运动时,趁机拍些照片。

也观看了不少油管频道的基本摄影课程,应该学以致用了。










Enough of watching various tutorial on photography in YouTube. It's time put my knowledge into practice!

There is no shortcut in learning new skills, but to put into practice the various knowledge we learnt.

I am very tempted to purchase new lenses to complement various styles of photography. But, eventually reality gets the better of me ... there is truly no need to spend tonnes of money on new lenses or camera, I am just an amateur photographer!
