Many times I hear people expressing absolute boredom at photography in their own country. I cannot speak for other countries but this is very prevalent in Singapore. I've called this place home since I was moved here with my family at a tender age.
This country amazes me. I doubt any land's been able to change its landscape and make-up of people with such ferocity in the span of merely 46 years. There're things changing right under our noses every moment that passes and it is because of this that I must disagree with the crowd that there is nothing more to shoot in Singapore.
I'd like to share what I see in this land (and more, hopefully!), and as often as I can, with the only camera I have that was gifted to me (a Samsung EX1, just in case anyone was curious). Be well.
*WARNING. Photos are about to flood you like Orchard Road "once every 50 years". All photographs were taken by me, so naturally, all rights are reserved by me.If you can make out his face, you're probably too close. Drive safe, or suffer THE BRUCE.
The rite of passage for many disgruntled youths of Singapore. On a public bus, no less.
Millenia Walk - Change is happening here. Good.
Oh Singaporeans love their flowing water, lots and lots of it.
...behind the displayed wealth, it's just you and me.
Lepak only. [lepak: to be laidback]
The hands that built this city.
Parco at Millenia. Tonnes of locals still haven't heard of this yet. I know 'cos I've asked. 
Hot wheels leading the way! 
Dedicated to the Youth Olympians. Ignored by Singaporeans who pass them without even a glance. 
Photographers are listed here for every single picture. Who knew? Did you?
Run, Metal Man Made Of Metal In Running Pose, RUN!
Reaching for the proverbial sky.
Well this just set the.. um, benchmark, for benches. 
Dead fish and an empty liquor bottle. There's a correlation somewhere. 
Barely a week since National Day.
Do you know where this is? Have you read it?
Yeah, brother, I'd love some of that in this weather.
MBS Chanel.
Marina Bay Sands. Integrated Resort. YetAnotherMall.
I've gotta visit that place one of these days.
Ice-skating rink right beside the food court in a mall! Who'da thunk it?! (Oh, maybe Sunway Pyramid in KL?)
Hey, my blog. I like my shoes.
GOTCHA!
Kinda creepy coffin-looking thingy considering it's the Lunar 7th Month.
LOOKATME! LOOK AT ME!!!
In the middle of nowhere.
No, really. What the hell?
These things hold the boardwalk up. Bravo!
Another look into MBS.
The Sloane Clinic's impressive lightbulb display.
Keepin' it classy, TCC.
The invaders! I hope he likes curry!
I don't even want to explain this.
Unicorn!!! I SPY UNICORN! Salvador Dali UNICOOOOOOORRRRN!
These things spray water in the sweltering heat of day. JIZZ.
Artist's impression?
The Olympic Walk. Apparently you do that by stomping right into the first 3 letters.
Singa says hi!
Marina Bay Link. This goes to.. The Promontory. Whatever that is.
The Three of Threes! I don't know...
Bloody fabulous HUGE fans that turn on automatically when you're under 'em!
Well, out-standing, then?
Hard at work.. only after they saw me. I'm just kidding, these guys are pro.
I love this place, and I hope you do too. Give it a chance.
