Orchard revisit

Although I have said to avoid orchard rd, but say say only lah, and because my friend leaving for Canada soon, so what are friends for? orchard orchard lah!

while I am there waiting for them I took this picture of Taka, for what? for fun lah!

Not entirely, because this building at this angle has a percuilar resemble to a famous building. What? The Blue Mosque in Istanbul, hmm..... I think is a copycat work.

Also today orchard Rd features "The Thai Festival" where the Thai Embassy is open to public for view. I have took some picture but due to er.. security reason I cannot display here.

Frankly said, nothing much to see, not so 'thai' either.

But the stage performance is really Thai, one of the dance "sacrifice of fire" capture my view for a while as I try to finish my ice-cream with my family.

Thai dance is quite enchanting, with emphasis on gentle movement with finger and legs.

I also discover this great local talent performing, I can bet he is one of the world youngest if not the youngest Busket.
No joke! he is playing at 16 bit drum bit.


Ok ok, now is my friend's turn, just because they have beg me to put them up on site, one of them even buy me a tea.

So here we go

This is "Lizard", nice and virtue. Anyone who is interested can call 1800-MUSTBERICH
or you can transfer one million Sing dollars to my account, I can set an appointment for you, but see only cannot touch.

For gals only

Meng, call 1800-ONLYGAL, he can do any er.. sty.. find out yourself lah.

Elvis!

Hurryup! He is for limited time period only, available till September 2005.

All and all orchard is still the same:
~ You cannot find beggars here, don't go round hunting for them, especially don't go to the underground tunnel.
~ I will repeat this again, you cannot find hooker here, not at the road side, not at shaw tower.

SunBath day: 50% high spirit

Blue sky, bright sun, good day to swim.

IMO, swimming is one of the best all round sport, better than joggling.

The Outsource Phenomenon

In regards to the ever competition trend of various industrial, the top brain of our humankind has come out of this idea - Outsource or Bestsource. the objective is to create a competitive envoirnment for us, and the organization will reap the most benefit of it. they don't have to implement increment, stuff welfare etc, also they can "squeeze" the maximum 'juice' out from the contract stuff. Lower wages but higher job responsibility, work like hell but get peanut, what a great ideas!!

So in order to facilitate their endeavour, I crack my brain for 3 days and 3 nights. Finally I come out this ideas that I hope will help solve this never ending competition.

WHY DON'T WE GO HIRE MONKEY INSTEAD!
They are always cheerful, so no low morale problem.

you can feed them peanuts only, and they will not complain, I garantee!

Some more talented one can even become artist and produce great art work for you to make more money.

They can be train to play musical instrument although they can't sing.

Given the right opportunity, they can advance in experience and become good teacher.

The top o.1 percent of them all can fly the space shuttle craft, the American has already proven that.

Why fight war with human, where this creed are expendably. they also will not question your order and do whatever you said.

One day, maybe one day there emerge a great monkey among them all and become the saviour of mankind.

they also have the following advantage compare to man:
~ Required no lodging, they sleep on tree top
~ No need to reason with them, they can take any punishment.
~ they all look the same, so you don't have to remember them.
~ you don't to pay them OT.

How was that? wasn't this the greatest idea of all time?

Mountain turtle of Singapore

That day I told my friend that I visited Orchard less than 10 times in my life, she couldn't believe me. What kind of a mountain turtle are you, your mind must be very shallow, like a frog sitting in the well and look at the sky(井底之蛙), narrow minded.

Since she know me for such a short period of time, I did not bother to agrue with her, but I admit to be a 山龟, with this insult I have make a mark by visiting orchard 5 times for the next 2 weeks, last saturday was my last, so now I have a count of 10+5=15 times, but I still hate it, probably because I am a more to nature guy.

But there is some interesting discovery:
~ orchard is always crowded no matter what time you go, hell! where does all this people come from? is unemployment rate higher than we thought?
~ hooker are rare here, at least I did not see one, so are beggars.
~ walking across orchard is faster than driving through.
~ it is extremely difficult to find a parking lot here, if not impossible.
~ We should build a third 'integrated resort' here.
~ if you want to see crown, you should go there.
~ you can open up a shop and sell sex toys here but you can't hold a bible and talk about God openly here.
~ if you find a place to sit and relax a while, some "guy" will approach and ask for your phone number.

We have a nation wide shortage of cloth, that many people is wearing lesser and lesser.

It has never stop to amaze me by looking at all the zombies walker along this place, they all look mindless to me, even the chicken at chao chu kang farm look more alive than them.

Lostin is a mountain turtle maybe, but no zombie. Mountain turtle is dumb and slow maybe, but unlike zombies, I can roam the the ocean, I call this true freedom.

I try my best to avoid coming here now.

Duck @ Suntec

As I have promised my family a trip out of Singapore, but too busy lah, lazy to go too far away and also I'm broke. So I propose -- the one and only Singapore Duck Tour.

At least we are 'out of Singapore' you know, not to say oversea.

Here we go!

I am surprise it is full, consider it to be a weekdays, the duckie on board are mostly tourist, but hehe, they don't know we are local duck, so we pretend pretend a bit.

Just for info, they give local's a 40% discount on weekdays, this is the first time I enjoy special rate as a Singaporean, way to go! but it would be great if we also get discount at the zoo, science centre, bird park etc etc.

The young and charming tour guide, all duckie are enchanted by his powderful Singlish, I mean English, really!

He is also quite well verse in some Singapore history and culture, better than I'm when at his age.


Red leaves cover the ground, and you thought you only get to see this in europe, it sure bring back lots of oversea's memories.

The duck has descend.....

Splash.. but no splash, what a disappointment, who told us we will get wet? But according to the guide, we should, so maybe next time.

As usual, the sea is calm, hardly a wave, in my opinion of course.

At a distance we see Sheares, not almost as glory as he was once build, but nevertheless still stand as a manificient sturture in Singapore.

Now, where can you get such a view in Singapore?


The boat man, a 'sunset' business here, forgotten sometimes even by our older generation.



Will looking into the future of Singapore, hope he see something bright....
cas I do not


Ray show his content, indicate that I make the right decision for him, too bad I cannot show him the dolphin.

Take a close look! the durian and the...... what does it look like?

yi.. dont be dirty minded, this should be the building that we are all proud of.

Last stop, close up look at the Merlion.

Boy! she never age a single day, unlike me. We also heard that the papa lion is at sentosa, got to take a look next time.

all and all it is bout an hour trip, fast and furious, no time to ponder too much, but we do get some facts about Singapore:

- our population is actually 4.2 millions with 1 million expat, got it?
- so it is about approx 1640 humans per square km.
- the certificate to own a car is the most expensive in the whole world, more expensive to own a spouse.
- Mandrian Marina is suppose to look like an elephant.
- our 1 dollar coin is make to look like a '八卦' , advise given to our MM by a renoun monk to give each S'porean one. But this is just a rumours.
- The new supreme court is bigger than St. Andrew cathedral.
- The world record for climbing up the 72 storey Raffles tower is 6 minutes, bit that!

Jaa mata!!

I suppose this is what I want to be.



Guardien Angels are also

army of God. Not always meaning that they are
in war, simply that their job is to protect
unwary humans from dark dragons, or other evil
demons. Warrior Angels are not always friendly
with humans, but they will watch over them all
the time. Humans say that when a miracle
happens, thank your guradien angel.

The unfortunate lady of Singapore

I use to visit Tanjong Pagar quite regularly, it has almost become my second home.

Today as I walk by the usual spot and notice this spot of plant that I always have a strange feeling. this feeling is specially stronger this time, my camera cum MP did a good job and I have about 2 ~ 3 shots.

But the plant did not look the same since the last time we seen it, the color is not so bright any more, she lost her vibrancy since dunno when. I still can remember asking my child to pamper this beautiful lady when she was at her most look-upon time, but now, alas! she has all become but a 'street hooker', sleep with occasion old man who has no place to go.

You can also notice that no one will even cast a look on her, passer by just treat her like part of this detroitorating world, soon she will be forgotten.

Who is she? she don't look like who she is before and no one care how she feel anymore than how we think about this world. I swear sometimes I can see her weep in the nite, all swallow by the surrounding bright spot light from the nearby nite spot.
(cactus)
They may have the same look, but are not he same.

Vanda Miss Joaquim! I wish on the star day and nite so that you can one day be restore to your beauty once more, and truly we can be reborn in it.

当年故国新花香,
十载耕耘好儿郎,
一朝不解女儿心,
花谢枝折恨断肠.
