Speaking of drama. I was on my way to Ubi to collect the car and was talking to my housemate about dumb drivers, then we saw this TP (traffic police) in front of us. The next moment, a car right beside it decided to swerve into his lane and Mr. TP have to swerve to avoid the collision. That was the funniest shit I’ve seen on the roads for a long time. I can imagine how the driver felt when he realized what he had done. TP slowed down, signalled him to pull over. But because the road was crowded, he decided to move further up.
While he was doing that, a car in front of the TP decided to turn on his hazard lights and stop suddenly. TP jammed his brakes, pulled alongside and waved at the driver. At this point in time, the other car got away. Both of us were laughing so damn hard. What a day for the TP.
It’s really mid noon comedy.

Sometimes we may think that certain people are bad. Specifically, people who hold certain jobs. For the past few months, a group of people pissed me off big time. For some of you, it’s probably all the time. I’m talking about parking attendents.
Today I had a positive encounter with one. I was having laksa at Katong with my car parked right in front of the shop. I didn’t any parking coupons on, knowing that I’ll be done very quickly. Halfway through my meal, a parking attendant walked towards my car. I jumped up from my seat (thick beehoon with gravy hanging off my mouth <— speaking of which, I have a picture of Ron like that…:P) and ran towards the car (ok, abit dramatized). She gave me that look like, “that’s yours?”. I nodded (beehoon flying all over as I did that). She just walked away.
Finally, there are some passionate souls around. I like today.

If you have watched Russell’s latest show, he mentioned that this hand sign means… “nothing” in indian culture.
I was sorting out Dennis and Anne’s (we watched Russell Peters live together after their wedding) wedding images when I came across this one. I sometimes wonder, what went through my head when I take certain pictures. Sometimes, I get entertained by what I shoot.

We had a BBQ last night and Chloe was there with us. Schweet!:D

All of us had reasons to make our lunch a little longer than usual. Wendy, Daniel and me had lunch at Tiong Bahru Market before heading down to the newly opened Marina Barrage. Getting there can be a little challenging as the amount of construction works around the area makes you feel like you are driving through the desert. They seem to have very limited parking space as well.
Other than that, I think the Marina Barrage really wow-ed me. Be it the “roman pillar” lookalike walls or the “9-shaped” architecture. The most attractive area I’d say is the gallery. It’s really very well done up. I’ve never really seen a dam in action before, so this mini one is quite a spectacle to me. I stood there for quite a while, just watching the water move through the opened crest gates. Amazing stuff.
With a fantastic view of the CBD and Marina Bay area, I think this will be another hot spot for photographers, wedding couples, firework shooters… etc. Landscaping wise, I think Hort Park is much better:)
Here’s a picture of the CBD area. No photos of the architecture, my hp ran out of batteries.

Been really on my ass (literally) working through the pile of work. It’s one of those days that one feel that you can keep working forever. Better capitalise on that feeling now before I slump into that holiday mood. Updates will be a little slow for now… housekeeping in progress.

Today, I see hope in this world. Nah, not because Obama is going to save the world. While I was exiting the petrol kiosk, a Nissan Cefiro actually gave way to me!! To top it off, a lady driver. Thanks, whoever you are:D
Kenji and Kago, our resident doorbells. The black one is the smarter one. Reminds me of the election…
