The day was a cloudy day and as all may know that Singapore’s sky is always hazy :) I played around with the following photo to try to get rid off the hazy feel on it.

Container Ships

Another resort that Singapore is building one. Probably another casino :) the same thing goes with this photo, had to remove the hazy feels.

Another resort

This is a view of the CBD (Central Business District) of Singapore … where the tall buildings are. On the photo adjustment, I made it look like an “artist impression” look and feel.

The viewing deck of the top of the world :p

Wow this lens rocks :D , I am able to get a focus at a distance of less than 30cm from an object. The clarity makes it nice but the only thing that seems to bother me is the blurry effect around the focus point. I am not sure why it is that so.

Some of the shots that I took around my house. :)

Two days right after the New Year 2010, I got a chance to visit my late grandma’s place to rest. I did not have a chance to say goodbye to her when she passed away last year, 2008. So on that day was her 1st death anniversary and I did what I had to do.. :)

Moving on, the day was bright and hot! I got sunburns on my bare arms, cheeks and the back of my neck. I got couple shots of little creatures around includes, grasshopper, blue dragonfly, red dragonfly and many butterflies. It was beautiful and I did never know that cemetery comes with all these beautiful natures.

Below are just some of the images that I took, please enjoy them:
