Fire by the Bay

Its a little late for these fireworks to be updated but was really busy studing. Anyway, last weekend was the fireworks festival at marina bay. on friday was the spanish, and saturday, the chinese. The crowd was overwhelming and that was hardly any space to walk or sit from the merlion to the esplanade, and to the floating platform where NDP was held this year. The Shears bridge was close this year too.

The fireworks where delayed by 20mins from 9pm. But by 9.10, toy planes where flying around the floating stadium keeping some 27,000 spectators entertained just before shooting the firework. Had not any good pictures this year as i didnt use a tripod and there where trees and hands of cameras block my view.In fact i took less than 40 pics.

But overall the fireworks were fantasic. My personal favourite is when the let go a really loud one and the explosions just lights up the night sky. They where fired from buges from the bay's waters, and the shears brigde. Lights of red and yellow where the most common, i guess its because of china's national colour.

Oh Brother

So lets begin with yourself Oh Brother!
Recognize your own faults but don't accuse another.
A happier and better place this world would be,
If we'd begin at home correcting you and me.

If we see a speck in our brothers' eye,
You want to get it out you are determined to try.
But listen Oh Brother to what jesus said,
Get the beam out of the eye,O Hypocrite instead.

It is easy to make a fine speech,
But what you have to do is practise what you preach.
Its useless telling others what to do,
Give good example, now its up to YOU!.

Correcting you and me, So lets begin with ourselves
Oh brother and we'll try make this world a better place for others.
And if we see a snowball rolling along,we will gather others to our throng
And the world will be a better place,
And the world will be a better place.

School

Hey ya'll.. sorry i didnt blog a long time..

School has caught up with me.. Just in case you dont know, im in temasek poly,
doing mechatronics(mechanical&eletronics). With an aerospace option in it.
Well its been 3months since school started. My class is quite lucky for its
relax timetable slot. The only killer subject is math.

There are 22 students in my class, 21 boys 1 girl.
The girl is a chinese national, always being disturbed by us,boys, in class.
Any way, the class has got 3 groups in it, the chinese, indians and malays.. Im not being racist here but its a nice mixture of classmates i have.
All are funny with boys being boys, and for 3months now most of them are getting comfortable with each other.

Just last week, i went for a drinking party with half my class, mostly the indians.
Got a king robert scotch with coke and they started drinking under a void deck celebrating my classmates birthday. I didnt drink though. Haha but it was a comecial event, they where shouting after 2 shots of the scotch with their powerful indian accent.

I tagged along with the malay group for a couple of times. They are just as hilarious. Cracking jokes in lesson and in the canteen while having lunch with them.
As for the chinese, they are really very helpful when it comes to studies. They are very approachble in class and really tought me the right stuff.

Well thats for my school and class,im quite lucky to get this kind of an enviroment to study in, and i thank God for helping me through my o'lvls till now.

"Kind words are like honey-Sweet to the taste and good for your health."

"Smiling faces make you happy,and good news make you feel better."

"Being cheerful keeps you healthy.It is slow death to be gloomy all the time."

"A fool does not care whether he understands a thing or not; all he wants to do is show how smart he is."

Series of Unfortunate Events

Such is life now..

Its rocky like never before,Part of my life is affected.The church has the greatest impact ironically.The servers, Knights of the Holy Eucharist, was its name.Now just Altar boys..Our president stepped down,so did his vice.Now others in the society has lost their moral, especially the old ones like jj,destin,noel even mark kr and many more others.Fr johnson and the parents took over,thus we are not having anything for trinity feast day and corpus christi..The boys dont get the feeling of the reason why they are serving.Its like they lost their torch in the darkness.

It was not like before,where everyone is in harmony, during fr tay's time..
We mixed well with other societies and were all smiling. Its not like that,now many wants to have things their way in the church.
To serve and not to be serve,its almost lost.
love one another as i have loved you,covered right in the front of the altar table.
Our parishiners,not as lively.

Besides this, there are other things bothering me,which i wont mention here.
Such is life now..

May Day

Went to the istana today, Its plan B, plan A was in ubin island but it rained in the morning. Anyways ,the istana, only open to the public during public holidays, is a nice place to visit.


Its quite humid though, and photography was hard due to the large crowd. Was able to get some good shots there, but too bad i couldnt get any in the istana house. Well it's said that the president works or has meetings there.



These shots is my favourite for the day. "Frog in Flower"

Blow Holes

Well i took these shots at the 12 apostlesin australia, really i was astonished to see blow holes of this size. My first time out in one of nature's magnificent coast.
So far the nature shots i took here are my favourites.

the 2 pics inbetween is actually a huge blowhole,the top picture is the front of it, and the botton is the back. Its amazing how nature,the water and wind, could do so much damage to the land,yet making it beautiful.from where i was on the top, there was a stairs leading down to walk into the blowhole.However the current was extremly rough.





This shot above really caught me. Again i was taken by nature. of the constant erosion over the years since this earth was created. a piece of land still stands on its own, and a hole was formed in the middle of this land. Amazing..

The Southern Coast of the Earth

These are some shots i took in Philip island in australia. On the coast Blows are very chilling wind from the south pole. My uncle got wind burn because of that. Anyway here here are the pics.




This particular rock is called pyramids rock. By looking at it thus its' name.

More australian animals

There are more seagulls than anything on this post, but i felt that the shots taken were nice,all the shots were taken at philip island in Australia. Its a beautiful place with much seafood around and they are good.

This very first pic is actually Full of seals. on the shore of this small island,rarly seen as they harldy come to the human beaches. its not a claer pic as these was abt one and a half football fields from where i was, on a rock.Cant see them clearly but you can make out the shape of the seals.. its very tiny on this pic


Ar this shot was taken by my uncle using my camera. Found them making a whole lot of noise under the broadwalk. Had difficulties taking a gd pic as the where under the broadwalk, so my cam was suspended under and using timer mode took this lovely shot. my uncle was lucky.


Found this a nice pic as the tree is standing out to the sea and seagulls

1 legged seagull

This pic is blur because of the lighting. sun in the wrong postion, but its of 2 macow, parrots.. commonly seen as a pest in australia and are hunted by farmers, however they are beautiful birds.
