gLoBfO+Os - Festival of Lights and Elephants

Was passing by the area we sillyporeans call Little India, the day after Deepavali a.k.a Festival of Lights. Here are some pictures of the lightup:

Trivial Talk #11 - Gross Meal at Diagon Alley?

I was out with my friend this fine afternoon. After an early dinner at LJS, we decided to have a second round of dinner at this familiar-looking busy alley. My trigger-happy mood caused me to flash out my ever-faithful k750i... yet again (No prizes for correct guesses below):

The (Diagon?) Alley

We ordered some gruesome stuff to eat. Look at them... How gross....

gLoBfO+Os - Memories of Yesteryears

Was around the area, on a lazy saturday morning. So with my handy k750i in hand, I took some pictures of my primary school. A lot of things have change and it is now bigger, more colourful and better.

I promise myself I will visit it again in the future to take more photos, explore the changes and hopefully catch some teachers.

gLoBfO+Os - Splendid Views From Some High Spot

Have been very busy for the past two months (That's why the disappearance). Will share with all peeps out here some splendid views I have at my office desk(not by my own choice though, I must stress), but for which I usually do not have time to enjoy. Sorry, no prize for anyone who manage to guess where these views are taken from. All taken with my faithful k750i.....

Bukom in the horizon

Keppel Club, Sentosa and Labrador.


Stumbling block that spoils it all

Trivial Talk #10 - Prisoner of Life

Have not had a lot of time to blog since becoming a "prisoner of life". Been busy working and taking care of the nitty gritty stuff at home. And don't worry folks, my mosaic picture isn't a sign that i'm a wanted man or i got anything to hide, so don't be scared by the photo. Guess i just want to hide behind the mosaic to preserve some anonymity in this online virtual world and was plain "bo liao".

Somehow I have started to get used to this new routine I call "work", and I actually find certain things interesting about my job and my workplace. I actually enjoy the pressure, the politics and the sights and sound. Maybe, this is all cos i still feel like a temp or an intern there. =P

Tired now. I shall rest here and provide more juicy bytes again when time permits.

Ciaoz....
