The Three Belles by Strange Fruit

You won’t believe your eyes! The street performance of The Three Belles by Strange Fruit from Australia is awe-inspiring . Their stunning show fuses theatre, dance and circus tricks performed on flexible 5-metre high poles that bend and sway back and forth in the air. Catch this breathtaking and hypnotic spectacle 3 times a day, Wednesday to Sunday at The Shoppes in Marina Bay Sands.



I tried doing a video of the show, couldn't do much since my camera's battery power was running out i managed to squeeze a short one though which will give an idea of what it is like. Mind you the show is fot about 30 minutes.

Grading !



Any better place to grade the answer sheets other than the local trains. This picture was shot when a school teacher of Singapore was grading while travelling on the train, and ofcourse i shot this picture without her knowledge. I am sure there isn't anything wrong in doing this over the journey if she really dont have the time to do it elsewhere, but if that isn't the case i doubt how good a teacher and how accurate in terms of grading she can be ?

A Bridge in Scotland

This picture was taken way long back, almost 5 years back i would imagine. Out of nowhere planned for a trip to Scotland from sheffield, about 8 of us started our way to the highlands. This bridge is somewhere up north of Edinburgh is all i can remember at the moment. The serene mood of the picture is what i like the most about this. One of my favourite picture of all times.

I was also said by someone that this bridge was one of the shooting spots of Harry Potter, not sure how much of that is true. I have seen a flying car scene in a bridge in one of the sequels, but i dont know if this is the one definitely .

F16 Fighter Planes ~ Singapore National Day Parade '10


This is some video which i have been thinking about posting on this blog for some time, primarily this blog is meant for pictures but i dont see any harm in posting this video. This is my first experience of the F16 fighter planes, infact this is the first ever time i have seen one of them ofcourse at a far distance. These are amazing pieces of creation, the noise they generate brings about an environment of Forumla 1 racing and even could bring the sky down to earth, so much rumbling. A lot of the noise couldn't be heard, since there were a lot of people around me when i was shooting the video, so their screams out of anxiety takes priority ;)

Why not shave a Tender Coconut ?


This is the way tender coconut is being served in the island of Pulau Ubin, a singapore territory. I haven't seen anything like this ever in my life earlier. Presentation matters, be it in a board room or a tender coconut serving place in a remote island.

The island by itself was a fantastic place, there was not much there to see as such other than the Chek Jawa Wetlands which has a lot of scenic beauty when there are low tides but i wasnt lucky enough for those views. Trekking, moutaineering, cycling and walk by the coast are few notable activities. There were a few towers in the island, from which one could see the view of the island and its facing to the sea. A very good place to spend a whole day. Restaurant by the sea was awesome, but food was crap atleast i couldn't take it ~ however the beer compensated for the food quality :)
