Uniquely Singapore

I thought this was the limits, till I saw the one above. In Singapore monkeying around can prove costly. So beware.

Spotted at the Bedok Reservoir Park this weekend.

The Decline of the Dream of Flying

Chris Riley has this realistic observation about flying here:

"You know, I remember when air travel was glamorous. I dreamed of it as I waited for the bus to take me to school. Now flying out and in to SJC feels exactly like waiting for the bus. I guess the planes are less comfortable than Manchester double deckers. Oh well. Life can be a series of disappointments I suppose."

Working on an airline account, I would like to think otherwise, but having to go through the pangs of air travel every once in a while, I couldn't agree more with Chris on how my childhood dream of flying has bitten the dust. Nowadays I long to be in a Southern Indian Railway express looking out the window and see the paddy fields and scenery whiz by while sipping hot tea.

I wonder with the resergence in air travel in the emerging Asia, how long before the novelty of air travel wears off people and they decide not to fly if given the option. And will that provide some hope for the planet.

Spectacles of Dubai

On an earlier visit to Dubai last year, one of the interesting things I spotted was that optical or sunglass stores abound in the Middle Eastern supercity. These are a few samplings of those store signs. So next time you go to Dubai don't take your glasses, you can get one in any corner of Dubai.

Peace, Love & Colored Fish Boxes

In many places on earth, peace is still behind bars.
(In Soho, New York City)

Even trash cans crave for some love.
(Opposite the hawker stalls on Labrador Ville Road in Singapore)

And sometimes it makes it easy on the fishes to die in colorful boxes. (On the Labrador Jetty in Singapore)
