I had a lovely lunch with Kel and Xiu today. I’ll skimp on the gastronomical details, but we ate at Stewhaus in Siglap before walking down two or so shophouses to the cheesecake cafe for dessert. Apparently, bus number 32 does not in fact turn left after Frankel Avenue towards Siglap - instead it turns [...]
So the sight of the empty tank lying fallow finally got to me, after all these months. I decided to introduce some life, once again, into my room.
The new Genesis took fifteen minutes, most of which were spent requisitioning fish from the pond. I even have a token tadpole. They’re fairly happy with their new [...]
Hokkaido, was it?
A place with wintry, lucid nights.
I scarcely think my words can add to its embellishments more than photographic evidence will advertise,
yet they could never find a shortage of Engrish to ridicule.
The domesticated wildlife was certainly peculiar,
and so was the perpetually smoking mountain.
What is it about this handsome blanket of snow,
or the cozy neon [...]
Yes, I participated in this event with the teeming masses on Saturday. As the sun took its westerly stroll I got increasingly tired, and hence depressingly uninspired as the day wore on. It was fun, though. An assortment of shots:
I was approached by [...]
Yesterday was eventful. I had a rough time in school, something I would very much not want to relive. Thankfully, it was a short day, and the depressing feeling of frustration arising from being deep in shit dissipated as quickly and unexpectedly as it had came.
Still, things did not go altogether peachy for the rest [...]
Well, here are the pictures:
And a hasty recap: bad Malaysian spelling, failed Malaysian attempt at propaganda, instructor with toothy grin, nice beach, fantastic blue water, many small fish and some big ones, stone club, cat with dichromatic eyes, kayaks, derelict decorations, unbearably sweltering and soporific afternoon, Super Mario War, transporting wood via land and sea, [...]
In the past two days I’ve been to two seperate sports finals to cheer the school teams on. Both we lost.
It is somewhat disheartening to suffer defeat despite all that hard work and toil… but I guess the achievement of being the second best in the division is nothing to scoff at, either. Especially so [...]
I came across this gut-wrenching sight of a dead rat yesterday. Yuck. Thankfully it didn’t stink, yet. There was, however, a scavenging crow performing Aztecian sacrificial rites on the poor rat: this explains that gaping hole in its chest.
Where is it? Where’s the thump-thump?

I like [...]
This comes in a little late.
I went for a boating trip to Pulau Hantu - Ghost Island - last Friday. Despite the ominous-sounding name, this little, unassuming isle is a far cry from anything out of Far Cry. Or perhaps even from a scary folk tale. I’ve read somewhere that Pulau Hantu is technically made [...]
… and experienced no such serendipity that would be commonly associated with such a rare sight.
Come to think of it, I see them every year. But I didn’t have a 70-300mm zoom lens last year. ;P
Speaking of serendipity, I was wracking my brain over remembering a long-lost word deep in the recesses of my mind, [...]
