Queenstown Landmark

Built in 1971 and become a meeting place for the young and old.

In a couple of months time it will become a plot of field.

Block 27A Queenstown MRT.



Demolition in progress. The residents of this block would surely miss the valuable MRT station at their doorstep.



A short distance away, block 39A, demolition is in progress.

In 5 years time in its place will be new HDB flats.

It's Back

The haze.

The thick suffocating smoke from Sumatra, the result of excessive clearing and illegal burning of slashed vegetation by land owners and logging companies.


The city centre - financial district of Raffles Place


The southern part of the island

Hazeful or hazeless, these dudes are not about to miss their fix of the beautiful game.

The IT Quack

Overheard at a PC shop in a Singapore preferred IT centre.

A customer walked into the shop and asked.
"Do you have Windows 7 software".

The salesman replied "yes, how many pieces ?"

The customer - "one piece."

Salesman "which version? a 32 bit or a 64 bit ?"

"what is the different?", asked the customer.

The reply, "all the same, the difference is the number, sometimes they feel like calling it 32 and sometimes they call it 64"

Halelujah to IT quacks.

The Explorers

The Portuguese began the colonisation of new found land in the 1400s.

Portugal was a leading European power, ranking with England, France and Spain in terms of economic, political, and cultural influence.



Today 500 years later, a new wave of exploration has begun. Not by sea this time.

Space exploration.

It is the beginning of a new era in space exploration where the US and Russia will build the capabilities to send humans deeper into space.

How will it be in 500 years time ?



Will humanity be prepared for the greatest discoveries of the history of our civilization?

Will we find other intelligent civilizations far older and incredibly superior than our technological capabilities and collective wisdom?
