Month: November 2025

When I was living in Sophia Hills, there was a popular park near my home—it’s about 15 minutes walk from my place to the park.

There’s a small children’s playground at the foot of Fort Canning Hill, and my daughter really love it then. I took her there a few times, mostly in the night. My daughter especially loved the swings here, she was full of courage and energy whenever she was on them.

I took this photo around the midnight one night. I can clearly remember the light metering results for this scene, the darker areas required a 26-second exposure time, so I reduced the exposure by 1 stop to 15s to avoid overexposure in the bright areas, and then I pressed the shutter.

There are two Nine-Dragon Walls on either side outside the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which were built in the 1960s and are nearly 70 years old now.

I took these two photos one night last month, one is in color, and the other is in black and white.

Just for your appreciation.

Cyperus papyrus, which originally grew in ancient Egypt, can be processed into papyrus-an ancient form of paper.

It was brought to Singapore by someone in the 19th century or even earlier(I haven’t found a clear record of the import time), and as the temperature, humidity and sunlight here are all ideal for its growth, it grows well locally.

I took this picture at Colony Garden, which is within Gardens by the Bay.

I took it on a brilliant sunny afternoon in an obscure alley, where the sunlight fell on the building.

What’s worth mentioning in this picture is the light metering is spot-on, and it instantly brings back memories of that afternoon when I pressed down the shutter.

I still cherish my memories of my childhood, even though I didn’t have many toys and had never been to an amusement park—never seen a carousel.

I took this picture at Gardens by the Bay in Singapore one afternoon in October.
