This Week

It’s been an emotionally draining week. I have been more touched than I ever thought I would be. Even now after the national week of mourning is over, you somehow don’t feel the same. I have a greater sense of … Continue reading

The Year of the Water Snake

It seems quite coincidental that it’s been raining so much this Chinese New Year and it also happens to be the year of the water snake.

Half Rainy Half Sunny

Sometimes the sky in Singapore can look really interesting when you can see that it’s raining a distance away but in the foreground it’s still scorching.

Down Came the Rain and Washed Away the Haze

Swirling Thunderstorm Clouds

It was a mighty hot 36 degrees celcius today which converts to 97 degrees Farenheit (may not sound too bad, but imagine muggy humidity of around 78%). But there is an upside.  Later in the day I looked up and … Continue reading

Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands: Where you can take a sampan ride and experience gushing water inside a mall

Don’t think I’ll ever ride the sampan. Just seems to contrived and unreal, when I could take a nice bumboat ride out to one of the little islands from Changi instead. But I think kids would enjoy this and I’d … Continue reading

Tanglin Mall Floods

Unbelievable! This is one of my favourite malls too. There has been heavy rain before, but this mall has never flooded. Pretty shocking footage where it looks like it’s raining inside the mall.

Clementi Mall Opening: Raining like Crazy

The rain came down, hard. After the rain. More of the rain. I get grouchy when my shoes get soaked in huge unavoidable puddles. I don’t mind the rest of me getting wet. And I do like the cooling down … Continue reading

Rainy Day: Walking from Stadium MRT to Kallang Leisure Park

I don’t have a fear of heights, but the escalator ride (goes up 3 levels at least) and the ship design at Stadium MRT (circle line or yellow line as I like to call it) is both impressive and vertigo … Continue reading

Singapore Daily Photos: Downpour at Liang Court

I would still say this is the best time to visit Singapore. It’s the coolest and the weather is at least bearable with our levels of humidity. February and March always seem the most unbearable to me. Scorching heat I … Continue reading

It’s The Sumatra Squall

So that’s what’s been hitting us lately – the Sumatra Squall.  I’m not complaining as the air feels so much fresher, but I do hope there are no more dangerous falling tree incidents.  I also noticed the not so common long … Continue reading

Blazing Heat Followed by Heavy Rain

Another unusually hot day in Singapore followed shortly after by torrential rains. It may not feel comfortable, but a sunny sky always renders better pictures. Since we’re at the equator the sun’s glare is so fierce that it’s hard to … Continue reading
