D1:
Yes! We've landed at Singapore! Drive fast! All the good, better and best stuff are waving at us ahead!
You'd expect worse traffic in Singapore being such a tiny island, but thanks to a smart traffic control program (sorry, can't remember the fancy name), your car can actually MOVE at a decent speed here.
Dah Crew!
From left to right: 1) A Zhe, our unofficial digitalcameraman. Most of the pics you see here are from his nice'n big camera. The poor kid sweated like hell in oh-so-hot-and-humid-Singapore. 2) Me with my beloved, weather-inappropriate boots. 3) Li Yi, hardworking cameraman, converted to a horseracing fan for the rest of his life. 4) Mengmeng, our soft-talking poem-reading thrill-seeking editor, also contributed some pics here. 5) Ye Hong, the responsible engineer with her pet mike. Rowf Rowf! Happy the Dog Year!
D 2:
Srimariamman Temple, the oldest Hindu temple in Singapore
Take a real hard look at the elaborate Gopuram or sculptured tower, can you locate all the 314.159265358979323 sculptures there 鈥 you don't really think we'd have the time to count. Gotta take off our shoes and plunge into WORK.
Work at the Sir Raffles Landing Site,
Work on the bumboat in the rain,
Work by the easy breezy ocean,
And work needs a happy attitude.
(What? We're not working? See that guy at the far left corner bending over the camera shooting the exquisite architectural details of the Civic Center without a colorful umbrella to shield off the excruciating sun?)
Time to recharge!
Sea + Food, What you see is what you get at the East Coast Seafood center in Singapore.
Left: This postcard shot is our seafood eating venue.
Right: the legendary Chili Crab, the unofficial 'national dish' of Singapore, usually prepared with fresh succulent crabs in a hearty, sweet and spicy gravy. Finger-suckingly good! Don't forget to mop up the mouth-watering gravy with white bread or Chinese mantou (buns).
