MY LORD'S DAY

A Life size image of the late Pope John Paul II

when he last visited the country

Today, Sunday, i attended the service @ Cathedral of the Good Shepherd, Bras Basah. This is where i usually go after working on Sundays. Though at times i feel so tired, physically and emotionally, i am glad to have at least this time to thank my God for keeping me and my family safe and unharmed. I do come here to thank Him for all the blessings He has bestowed upon me. I may not be a faithful servant compared to other devotees, and i know i failed often times to be His child, but i love my dear God so much. He's done a lot for me wherever i am and He never failed me. He's my shoulder and my savior. Undoubtedly, in my years of existence, He is always beside me.

THE CITY OF GARDENS

Singapore is known also as the city of gardens. Undoubtedly, flowers, plants and trees you can see everywhere even upon arrival to their airports you can see flowers everywhere. I just don't have time to revisit Botanical Garden to take some shots of their orchid collections and other plants and trees. But yes one of these days i will.

One time i was on my way to Orchard, passing along the National Museum. The front lawn of the building was under renovation. It was covered up and written there..."Sorry for the inconvenience we are just gardening"..well something like that. In my mind yes that was cool!

Government really into beautification of the place..and i mean really they're serious with it, like everyday i see plant pruning along this side then planting on this side, trimming trees on that side and on one side watering. It was such a nice thing to see how they keep the environment here so Green. That's one thing i like in this place.

And always, an array of flowers everywhere. Here's some shot i took for the day. Flowers colored my day...

Carved Marbles @ Crown Plaza

Floral Inspired

I love flowers. They do not fail to amaze me. I would always give a second or third glance at them as i pass by. And now like my camera always with me, i can not help to take some shots of them. Now i wish to go Botanical garden soon!

FROM 39TH FLOOR

The Marina Sands IR @ Marina Bay

Another great view from my client's window. Actually this was taken like days before that Millenia Tower Sightings. I regret not bringing my camera along that time. But i wouldn't let this chance pass by so i took a shot using my phone. The Ship like structure on top connecting the 3 buildings is definitely awesome. At night like 3 laser beams come from that place towards the sky. Some parts of this place still under construction as well. I can't wait until all done for they say that this area will house more than 300 shops around the casino. Can you imagine that? Shopping heaven, baby!

FROM 41st FLOOR

One thing about meeting clients on high rise building is that i get able to see what's on their window! Just look at what i've got! The best view of the Flyer from 41st floor of Millenia Tower. This is such one awesome view. I was dumbfounded when i first made my few steps towards the window.

I took some shots to share...

The Flyer

Ships and yatchs docked behind there.

Fronting Flyer to the right is the Marina Sands IR.

You can see also the still under construction building there which i think is a part also of Marina Sands. A skyway will connect that building to the main.

Fronting the Flyer to the left.

This highway is where i often pass daily to and from work.

Those buildings with like orange top roof are like dwarf houses looking from the highway.

Residents there got great view of the water surrounding the place.

The land on the left side is actually a golf course area and is also under construction. Lately i see some new landscapes around that area. Another place that would be eye-catching for sure.

Really awesome! A great view especially with the coming F1 Race this September. This is where those fast cars will drive around. They're preparing now for the race that is why there are seats (red & yellow) along the side of the Flyer there.

I've seen a lot of under constructions around. I've see progress for this country. How i wish my fellow countrymen would see the same back in my home land.

LIKE WAVES

MY LOVE IS LIKE WAVE.

It keeps coming back to you...

EMPTINESS

Looking at those empty chairs and they were not there...

missing my fam!


@Starbucks, Scotts Rd

AND IT FELL

Leaves may fall in time

but my Love for You ages like wine..

(: it rhymed!

THERE YOU ARE BEYOND THE SKY

I believe that You are just there beyond the sky,

For You love me 'til like forever and protect me all the time.

@MICA

This old police station (now known as Ministry of Information, Communication and the Arts, Singapore) at the corner of Hill st. and Rivervalley road is a nice building architecture as well. MICA building is an eye-catcher with its different color windows.

I was able to get a nicer angle of this building (well maybe next time i will) for i was just passing by this place to catch a ride on the way back to the office.

@STAMFORD HOUSE

This historic building at the corner of junction of Stamford road and Hill Street fascinates me. Originally know as Oranje Building, the Stamford House currently houses a shopping mall.

I love it's romantic architectural style. The details on the designs and mouldings were very popular during the Victorian period. Looking at this building feels like you are time traveling to earlier time of the Renaissance era.

T'IS THAT BINDS US TOGETHER

commitment binds us together

and love holds us forever...

TWO LOVERS

HOLIDAY MORNING

I went walking at East Coast Park early morning of monday, 9th of August. Took some shots i can share. It was holiday and a lot of people were there. Some grilling, swimming, fishing, playing volleyball, resting on tents, doing their morning exercise like the elderly, some jogging and walking, some biking and roller skating, and other just simply staring out the water.

How can they catch fish on this area?

This old man was resting after his swim.

Kite caught in the branches.

I remember my sister and our garden.

We have this too in our country.

The other bridge.

This man was holding two tins. One filled with water and the other for the live shells he got out from the sand. What i noticed him doing was sprinkle some water on the sand. Then when the sand like got little holes on it means some shells under it.

Seem lost?

Tub on the beach!

This one coated with ceramic tiles.

The sky that day.

I had a great walk in the park. But then i need to head back home and prepare for work. A Sigh on a holiday.

MARINA BAY AT NIGHT

Question: Why they call it building when it's already built? (lol!)

I love looking at building architectures like this one on Fraser St., Parkview Square. It's color and structure is like one of the buildings in Europe and NYC. From Nicoll Highway you can see it standing like in between of the Gateway buildings (i will have my shots of those buildings too!).

Parkview Square

Lamp post at the corner of Beach Road and Bras Basah

I went quickly to Marina Baby just to take pictures of the skyline and to try also my cam at night settings. The sky is awesome. I've seen some people just seated there staring at the water, some stargazing, and some just simply breathing.

The Merlion at One Fullerton

Makansutra located behind Esplanade

I left the house at 10pm and went back midnight. Well, i wanted to stay longer but buses and trains only available 'til 11pm. I decided to go home by midnight and since i got trauma with riding taxi here, i was praying on my way home to keep me safe.
