DONG DONG QIANG! Happy Chinese New Year! Here are pictures from Chinatown in Singapore. The amount of people was absolutely astounding. Can't imagine navigating through the pile of... individuals...

A shop selling stuff before the new year

A blind busker playing very nice tunes, located just outside the train station.

Chinese calligraphy.... A dying art..

Remember how I said that there were tons of people... well, ta-da!

Now this was absolutely... astounding... Naturally, the dogs were less entertained than the people taking photos.

The same location taken at three different heights.

Figured I'd have some human interaction in my photographs. Here's a family.. doing a selfie.. with a man clearly waiting for someone... or getting lost.

A couple doing a selfie.. how I wish to be young again..

A couple wanting their picture taken. They look like tourists. 

Chinatown with the horses and the gold coins.

 

the twenty eighth.

One of the reasons I went to Bangkok was because it was a good opportunity to see what the political fuss was all about. Although one could find various photographs around the net, I figured it was a good way to see whether I could try 'covering' an event. 

Suthep speaking at the rally. Yes, there were tons of people. I was told that there were three camps that were gathering. This picture was camp 1, the one with the main stage. Upon estimation, I could count approximately a few hundred thousand people gathered in close proximity to camp 1. At camp 1, it was peaceful. No problems.

There were shops selling stuff by the side, ranging from food stuff to t-shirts and whistles.

Still part of camp 1, see the tents? People were camping out and listening to Suthep

 
I found this photo while walking around the camps. So far, the most outspoken tent of all.

More camps and people looking at the TV screen. The following two pictures were of two separate groups. There were tons of such groups scattered around camps 1 and 2.

Yes, people slept here. On the cloth, and plastic sheets.

In support for Shutdown Bangkok! Every other shop sold shirts like these.

I was told that these girls were from a university selling shirts to passer-bys. They were all volunteers and not earning a wage for it.

 So I took a walk down orchard road the other day.. just to see what the fuss was all about...

Well, lo and behold, ITS CHRISTMAS BABY!

the twenty first

It's been awhile since I had gone out and take photos, must've been my hectic work cycle. So I decided to head to Gardens by the Bay. So enjoy!

I think this is one of my best shots. As you can see, the mother is afraid of heights, and the children are holding onto her. The father, like the man he is, gleams over as if nothing is wrong. A very good moment. If anyone can identify who this family is, I would like to send them this picture.

I love me some patterns =)

And the supertrees! There was a light + musical display that evening and the supertrees were in full force. Now all we need are some treants along the sides to dance to the music.
