 |
| some art gallery that
i wasn't invited to. |
|
 |
| besides littering the entire
city with oversized shopping malls, singapore also likes to display
various pieces of art for random photographers like me! |
|
 |
| a large shopping mall
about five minutes away from our hotel. |
|
 |
| chin searching for
a travel guide. english is a primary language in singapore and so you'll hear all these
singaporean girls speaking with these ridiculous british accents.
it's quite amusing! no offense, yuina! haha.. |
|
 |
| an empty raffles city. |
|
 |
| we met up with chin's friend
yuina here. she's a graphic designer. she's also camera shy, so all you'll
see are pictures of her shoes. |
|
 |
| an underground shopping
mall. nooooo! |
|
 |
| yuina's aforementioned shoes. |
|
 |
| shopping is so big here that
centuries old buildings have since been converted into little shopping
areas. it's not uncommon for one to gaze at a building and marvel at
its architecture then see a starbucks coffee nestled inside it.
|
|
 |
| it's easy to ignore this
when you have a table covered with thousands of pirated vcds at
$2 usd apiece. |
|
 |
| monsoons? no, just heavy
rain. |
|
 |
| various singaporean people
scurrying around like little animals. |
|
 |
| random slabs o' meat
hanging on hooks. |
|
 |
| sounds good to me. i
have the power!!! |
|
 |
| some guy getting really
excited that i was taking a picture of him. |
|
 |
| durian is disgusting!!!
i can't believe i actually saw durian candy at the airport. it's
so bad that our hotel actually had a "no durian in the room" rule. |
|
 |
| oh really? as opposed to just
regular crunchy? i'd like to sample the goods please. |
|
 |
| this girl had a very meaty arm. actually,
with all the fruits in front of her, behind her, and above her, it almost
looks like she's in some sort of jungle or something. now if only she'd
wear the gorilla suit. i think it'd fit her nicely. |
|
 |
| chin was so hungry that he
forgot to use his utensils. it sort of reminded me of that scene in
willy wonka and the chocolate factory when charlie bucket stumbles
upon some change and wolfs down that huge piece of chocolate. woooolf!! |
|
 |
| the aftermath. |
|
 |
| some nasty indian drink that
tastes like liquified cream cheese. pure torture! recipe: take fresh yogurt,
leave exposed at room temperature for a few days, let little ecosystem
develop, chill and serve. |
|
 |
| tons of used computer
parts. |
|
 |
| often stored in shady looking
vehicles. gee, i wonder what their sources are. |
|
 |
| look at this garbage. chin's
thinking about buying some for his room. |
|
 |
| towers of broken equipment. |
|
 |
| a sleazy merchant who looked
like he wanted to rip my heart out and feed it to me. look at that
fat gold chain. what a pimp! haha... |
|
 |
| oooooh, dj anand at indian
rave 2000!?!? let's goooooooo! ah, singapore. |
|
 |
| little do these crabs
know that they are now in the captivity of entities higher
in the food chain who will now use them for their amusement.
for example, crab races! |
|
 |
| taking it back to the
old school!! |
|
 |
| heap o' garbage. for sale,
of course. |
|
 |
| the people who run this
fine establishment. i guess in the us we would attach fancy titles
to them like "sales associates".
|
|
 |
| history. |
|
 |
| can we please move on
from this garage sale? |
|
 |
| just like in the movies. wonder
if it really works. |
|
 |
| some building that required
too much physical effort to explore. |
|
 |
| after little india,
yuina took us to chinatown where we visited "wet markets" where
i searched for electric eels! they didn't have any. hmph. |
|
 |
| sandy knows all about me
and ice cream cones. perhaps it was the humidity, who knows, but
this cone looked really good to me. i suppose it's probably the
same phenomena you experience when you eat tasteless ramen but
stare at the package covered with all these little shrimp. after
a while, you really think you're eating shrimp. oh, i'm so easily
tricked. |
|
 |
| yuina giving us a history
lesson about the binding of women's feet in china. three inches
end to end. |
|
 |
| no electric eels? boooooring! |
|
 |
| public housing for the elderly/poor. |
|
 |
| preparing for the chinese new year. |
|
 |
| one of singapore's red light
districts. this guy is probably a pimp negotiating the transfer of
illegal aliens into the country who he will then enslave into prostitution
while using the profits to buy large quantities of greasy chinese food.
|
|
 |
| there are some legitimate
businesses on this street. |
|
 |
| this innovatively-named
establishment is probably not one of them. |
|
 |
| when the lights on, well,
you know what that means. |
|
 |
| dilapidated building. the
working conditions here are certainly less than desirable. |
|
 |
| something i probably
shouldn't have been waking under. |
|
 |
| singaporeans use
the strangest words. |
|
 |
| pay, pay, pay!! |
|
 |
| you can't see it but this
building was still covered. quite neat. |
|
 |
| drunk or intended? |
|
 |
| yes, indeed. waaaaay out! |
|
 |
| i'll show you something
about moving with courtesy!! |
