Summer Rain


















"...Oh my love it's you that I dream of
Oh my love since that day
Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain

Doesn't matter what I do now
Doesn't matter what I say
Somwhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain..."
Summer Rain, Belinda Carlisle

Friday Downtown


















After almost 3 years of re-developement and restoration works, the National Museum finally opens.

You had me at Hello?

Simply Red













Life is so strange,
when the heart and mind clash.
Where lies the truth
when logic and emotions collide.
What then of the soul,
in this infinite struggle?

What has this got to do with the picture? Absolutely nothing.

Sunny afternoon at Ford Canning

Lonesome coffee for one












Coffee just ain't the same alone. Life sucks. sigh

Tigers
Poem by Bill Watterson (Calvin & Hobbes)

Tigers are mean.
Tigers are fierce.
Tigers have teeth
and claws that pierce.

Tigers are great,
they can't be beat.
If I was a tiger,
that would be neat.

Tigers are nimble
and light on their toes,
my respect for tigers
continually grows.

Tigers are perfect,
the e-pit-o-me
of good looks and grace
and quiet dignity.

Tigers are great!
They're the toast of the town.
Life's always better
when a tiger's around!

Being National Day, everyone was decked out in red, even the cows.












Some chose to show their patriotism in a more unconventional manner.



































While the nation celebrated, others kept a close watch over her.

Balloons for release later during the Parade's finale.


















These are Singapore's 25-pounder artillery guns. Used in the 1940s as part of the island's defences, these guns have been retired to being ceremonial guns.












When the President reviews the Guard-of-Honour contingents, these 25-pounders are fired as a mark of highest respect. This is known as the 21-gun salute, a military tradition which dates back to the 14th century.
