A Walk and Shoot Day

I visited Stargek with nexus to see what Tamiya products I can find to drag myself out from my plamo burnt-out. Sadly there was nothing there for me. Nevertheless, we embarked on an interesting walkabout-shooting session after Stargek. We took a bus from Stargek at Payar Lebar towards Marine Parade Road.

This was the route we took.

Crossing over from Marine Parade Road to East Coast Road via Roxy Square. Roxy Square had this interesting tile that reflects light and gives of various glow of colors.

We had the famous Katong Laksa and rojak from one store that seems more popular among the rest of the 'imitations'.

After lunch, we walked down East Coast Road and took a left turn into Joo Chiat Road. Joo Chiat Road is an upper income level residential area where rich people stay around. So it is not surprising to see expensive cars moving along the small roads here. Interesting, Joo Chiat Road has been otherwise known as the second Geylang, where 'street-walkers' prowl for customers. We werre walking along one of the shophouse when I looked into one of the glass door that hides a staircase leading to the second level and got a shock. I saw this Chinese early 30s lady, sat on a tall stool and spread her legs apart showing me her red panties and then waving us to 'come here'. I told nexus about it. He dared not head back to look at her and so we moved on.

We walked the whole stretch of Joo Chiat Road until we reached the Malay Village at Geylang Serai. I was not very impressed by the architecture of the Malay Village and so I only took a couple of pigeons and a stray cat.

We reached Payar Lebar MRT and under the tracks we saw 2 cats. I was delighted to be able to shoot the cats, since my street shots were not impressive at all. The first cat could have deserved a solo-gallery of its own with all the interesting expressions that it gave me. She was quite a fierce one though. The other cat was rather shy and only gave me 2 'don't look back in anger' shots.

It was raining quite heavily for a while and so we had a bit of a drink at the Post Office Center. I was refering to Soy Bean milk and pancakes at a stall called 'Pin Le'. After the rain stopped, we took bus 70 and headed to Marina Square where nexus bought more modelling supplies from Miniature Hobby. After that we walked around in Carrefour at Suntec City. We were browsing for any possibly interesting stuff and we ended up resting our aching feets at the furniture section. Across the furniture section, there was this booth with a young girl in scanty tight short skirt and top dressed like a race-queen. Apparantly, she was promoting the latest Gillette Fusion 5-bladed shaver for men. I guess sex does sell. I wanted to steal some snapshots to post it here, but it seems that everytime we are near, she would look at us like some perverts. We were indeed!!! Not until the DOM (dirty old man), Carrefour staff, walked over and asked the promoter if she have had her dinner.We met My Royal Highness for dinner at 2nd Hainan Street for dinner and later visited the River Ang Pao.
The River Ang Pao is located behind the Padang. This event takes place every year during the Lunar Chinese New Year period, where there will be lighting, trading, performances and fun fair rides.
