Sunrise

Sunrise on a Saturday morning.
If you notice a black object, that's a plane!

This sunrise was captured near Changi Airport. You are able to see about 1 plane landing at Changi Airport almost every few minutes during the morning peak hour!

Bifurcate Totems, Gardens by the Bay

Totems inside the Domes at Gardens by The Bay.

Bifurcate Totems, Gardens by the Bay

Do you find totems scary?
I think when I was growing up, watching too much cartoons made me feel scared about it.

Bifurcate Totems, Gardens by the Bay

I wondered, what gave the craftsman ideas on how to carve them?
I guess it's a huge study.

Maybe I will read it up when I am free some day! Probably when I retire.

Bifurcate Totems, Gardens by the Bay

If you are like me, wondering what Bifurcate means, wikipedia says this:
Bifurcation means the splitting of a main body into two parts.

Cow's Udders Lookalike

Seen at the restaurant at W Hotel Sentosa - Skirt.

Udders

If you look up when you dine there, you will see this nice woodwork hanging.
Was told like everything in the restaurant, it's 'cow'-themed!

Those are 'udders'.
Nice isn't it?

Colonial Horse, Gardens by the Bay

Stop horsing around.

Colonial Horse, Gardens by the Bay

It might just be a trojan horse, do you think so?

Colonial Horse, Gardens by the Bay

No sculptor's name. The stone feel is very nice though.
Seen at Gardens by the Bay.

Artificial Rock #71

If you have taken the 'skybridge' from Marina Bay Sands to Gardens by the Bay, you would have seen this rock sculpture.

It's called 'Artificial Rock'. Yes, we all know it's an artificial rock. Makes it sound so cool doesn't it?

Artificial Rock, MBS

This is Artificial Rock No 71.
The sculptor, Zhan Wang has a series of it and the series is call Artificial JiaShanshi.

Artificial Rock, MBS

Zhan Wang's works are all around. It might be in a city that you live in too.

Zhan Wang was at the Singapore Tyler Print Institute before too. View his work here:

Big Biscuit Boxes

Long ago, in our grandparent's era, they store their treasures in Biscuit Tins.
I can't remember if my grandparents have them though. I was too young perhaps.

One set of grandparents store things in banks and safe deposit boxes.
The other set store them in antique chairs that grandma said were made by granddad and it had built in secret compartments!

Biscuit Tin

The Singapore Public Libraries are now having an interesting exhibition.
They are collecting memories of people living in Singapore. Go take a look if you are here.
