Chimney
I stayed at Tiong Bahru for a while when i came to lil dot long time ago. But i never noticed the lil chimney at the roof top of the 3-storey conservation shop houses. I happened to go for lunch at Tiong Bahru a few days ago and see the chimney for the first time. Took a shot with my dependable Canon A80 and here it is!
Have a nice weekend!!
Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix
lucky to get a free ticket from a friend to attend the recently concluded F1 race. some photo to share…
a personal touch from the organiser. the feeling was like those relative of wedding dinner of friend you attend that you barely know. nevertheless a good gesture.
the winner… fernando alonso of renault.
there were a lot of oversea fan and this FERRARI supporter is from India…
long way back for the crew of ferrari with the fuel pipe heavy on their shoulder…
the singapore porsche car, smoking from the engine and last in the race…
the much hyped grid girls getting into position before the bmw pacific rally
with overpriced cap at S$65 and t-shirt at S$150, ferrari shop at the circuit park can employed models to be the saleguy
nah… these guys are not formula 1 winners but from the earlier race bmw pacific. the bmw is a feeder race to the biggies f1.
Sunrise
Sunrise….another begining
The begining of a new cycle
The seemingly endless cycle
The cycle of my mundane life
Mundaneness is the base of my life
It is the foundation of my life
From which shiok and spark take flight
Only from the mundaneness of my life
I can enjoy and taste these exceptions
For without mundaneness, life is flat
For without the valley, there is no peak
Life without peak is a life wasted
Thank God It’s Friday, LIFE is BACK!
Tough Time

hard time is coming…
did you upgrade your life and lifestyle during the last 12 months? change your dependable toyota to a bmw? if you havent and have been living the same modest life for the last ten years, guess the coming storm will just blow past you. a friend who lost his investment analyst job yesterday is not too concerned with the lost of rice bowl. in fact he is taking it within his stride and looking forward to a break after twenty years of working…
he will make it through this storm. a working wife and value-driven life somehow will cushion, i am sure, the temporary loss of income. who would imagine the big, strong and friendly banks of big america will go kaput? who would imagine your neighbourhood relationship manager doesnt have your interest at heart? my heart goes out to those aunties and uncles who lost their life long saving to ill-advised investment.
back to my friend. we were supposed to go out for a drink to cheer him up tonite. but he took a rain check as his schedule is full this week with dinner with relatives and family matter. although his bank account will miss a few zeroes from his usual year-end bonus but quality family time will more than make up for it.
if teh tarik is not your cup of tea, it is time to wean off the $20-a-pop long island tea and have a change of taste. the coming crisis is no storm in a tea cup, pardon the pun. this crisis is a perfect storm and will leave more than a few broken firms in the financial world. its effect will permeate the business world and frankly i have never fear so much for my rich bowl.
teh tarik, anyone?
