chinatown

Hello everyone!
Writing this after procrastinating for about a week so here it is :-)
Recently, I visited Chinatown with my CCA to get some photos of the festivities, and basically the things that bring out the spirit of Chinese New Year (which is happening in a week's time!)
The photos here may seem a little different from my usual ones because I used a Canon 500D instead of the Sony α for this trip :} (I actually used the Canon for the trip to the lone tree also HAHA)

(It's most popular during Chinese New Year, but to be honest I've never eaten any in my life HAHA)

lone tree

Hello!
Today, I visited the lone tree at Punggol park with my family :-)
It's pretty amazing that such an untouched place exists, especially in Singapore, where many places have been urbanized. It's quite a pity that they are building Punggol SAFRA behind this place - I hope it won't affect the scenery too much.

my mom took this picture of me and the tree :-)

The sunlight was soft, which gave this nice feeling to the photos :-)

The colours of the sky changed pretty rapidly afterwards -

Nature is truly a beautiful thing and I think that we should all learn to appreciate it.

Today's experience was better than expected (I thought we wouldn't be able to find the lone tree) and I will definitely be visiting this place again :-)

new beginnings

Hello & happy 2015 to all of you!!  (๑•͈ᴗ•͈)
School has officially started (since like three weeks ago LOL barely gotten used to Sec three life) but our CCA decided that for this week's session, we would have separate batch outings - so our batch visited the Singapore Art Museum.

We had lunch at Food For Thought (the one at SAM 8Q)
(8 Queen Street, S188535)

good food = happy yeng ho

Most of us ordered cheeseburgers which were yummy LOL and they were served in big proportions so it filled our stomachs yay

(us waiting for da food + compressed clay)
