for everyone
Clandestine photographs from my second Singapore holiday, only with a DSLR and a lot more walking. In this batch, what you could possibly call the more local spots, courtesy of Malia.


At this point it dawns on me: I've no more subjects
  

Just different perspectives on the same places
  

Oh, how long are these Somerset trains?
  

We've got kids playing
  

You'll miss it
  

Ahh, a shot inside the train
  

These things light up on select trains
  

How many shoe boxes?
  

More silhouette-ish photos
  

Oh, I'm here, right
  

Actually, this is Orchard Central
  

The expected street photography
  

You still get to wear thick sweaters?
  

Istana park: they have greens, we have politics
  

I've seen too many strollers
  

Before the confusion
  

Now, get confused at Dhoby Ghaut's interchange-ness
  

Hello, Rochor Centre
  

Just a few footsteps...
  

Life shut tight in residential spots
  

Nope, the yellow building's behind me
  

Korina and Mar?
  

Malia finally got dressed
  

Okay, ready?
  

She's bringing me to Arab Street, because it's close
  

These buses will pop out of somewhere
  

Red lights, as always
  

Carpets, cloths...
  

...and those birds, yes
  

Baskets, too
  

We're just walking
  

The food stalls, but first, the mosque
  

The usual to-the-sky! shot
  

The best local food is tucked in a corner
  

A hundred bucks, more or less
  

I think I took this photo for environmental purposes
  

Mee goreng... with egg
  

Malia's mushroom prata
  

We'll walk all that food off
  

And there go those birds again
  

If you look closely, you'll see the irony
  

Look at these nice streets
  

Nah, it's not paper
  

Construction sites and Suntec City
  

Chopsticks, ahh
  

That building over there? The library
  

As if this shot isn't daunting...
  

...this should be
  

Ice cream wafer sandwiches, just a dollar each
  

All the (unfinished) Iluma lights
  

These malls intimidate me
  

I mean, look at the escalators!
  

They all wear those short shorts, obviously
  

Thai coconuts, more of stones you throw
  

The busier part of Bugis Street
  

I imagine dogs in comedy movies
  

I think she's buying drinks
  

Saturday afternoons are apparently that busy
  

Nope, that snake isn't real
  

Washing machines in Chinese
  

I can't really tell what the girl on the side is doing
  

Come on, toss in your coins
  

Away from the bustle, sort of
  

These sidewalks can be empty, too
  

But back to the uncles
  

Color stairs and McDonald's
  

We're heading back at this point, actually
  

They're still doing a new train line, so...
  

Let's cross the street first
  

And then it's time
  

Goodbye, umbrella! There's always next time
  

More downward escalators
  

This won't be empty for long
  

Orchard station, again
  

I know, I should be slapped
  

Donuts, right?
  

Well, hello again, ION Orchard
  

The place's a bit closed, with boy marshalls, too
  

In daylight it doesn't look so striking
  

They're prepping the Christmas lights opening
  

They get fast food too
  

I think you walk far because it looks far
  

New headlines and old headlines
  

Look closely, you see some Japanese school series
  

Transformers, bleargh
  

Again, ION is confusing
  

Shoe boxes, not those ones
  

If only our bones can talk...
  

This is just the basement. One of the basements.
  

I tried to go in but I can't fit in
  

Not my kind either
  

Ahh, iPods
  

Some random aerial shot
  

Charity with Lego bricks?
  

I had $2 but I didn't
  

That three-storey escalator
  

Believe me when I say this sells chocolate
  

Sequence ready?
  

This is that long escalator
  

And those two girls, unwitting subjects
  

My hand, steady on the rail
  

The camera, slightly uncooperative
  

The conversation, unrecorded
  

Well, it's a Saturday, so it must be fun
  

I press the shutter every five seconds or so
  

I told you it does take long
  

Pretty long
  

I think I ended up taking twelve photos
  

Then again I was wrong, and...
  

Yes, it's obvious I've run out of captions
  

And the subjects are gone, too (but they actually went back)
  

Apparently the first and only Dunkin' Donuts in the country
  

From one mall to another, via underpasses
  

Hello, Wheelock Place
  

Back to those magazines at Borders
  

It's no secret, my secret Demi Lovato crush-ish
  

Sorry, Emily, I covered you up
  

Gay guy?
  

More chocolates, and possibly a clueless Aussie
  

Night falls at Orchard corner Scotts
  

It's amazing who the camera chooses as subjects
  

The lights are almost on
  

But they're amazed at the architecture anyway
  

More lines at McDonald's stalls
  

They're lost, right? No, we are
  

Inside Tangs Market, which isn't really one
  

Dinner (and chopsticks)
  

Stalker photo! More details soon
  

This is a decoy
  

And yes, the lights are on
  

But these won't do any justice, so...
  

...why did I upload them again?
  

A bunch of motorcycles end this roll
