Singapore Scenes

These photos were shot in RAW mode in Singapore last weekend with the Leica 14-50mm F2.8-3.5 mounted on the E-3. No post processing.

Lumix G1

This is the promotion of the Lumix DMC G1 SLR camera at Bic Camera Yurakucho. It is the World’s First Full-time Live View Digital Interchangeable Lens Camera. It is based on the new Micro Four Thirds System standard that greatly reduces camera size and weight to further enhance the inherent advantages of the original Four ThirdsTM System standard for digital interchangeable lens cameras

Pan Pacific Hotel

Last weekend was at Singapore on the way back from Penang, Malaysia. Stayed at the Pac Pacific Hotel, Marina. Old but nicely renovated room of 41sqm. Only older hotels have such generous sized rooms.

This hotel features the once popular atrium concept, not unlike the former Concorde or Glass Hotel, which is now known as the Holiday Inn Atrium.


View of the colourful lobby from above.

Nice room of 41sqm, with LCD TV and full height glass windows.

The unique service provided by this hotel is the hospitality room provided to guests who have checked out. You can book a room on the 22nd floor to come back for freshening up before you leave the country. I would use this hotel again.

Canary Garden Country Club

This is the Canary Garden Country Club in Chiba. Being peak season, this was one of very few courses avaiulable for golf in Autumn. The cost of green fees is also horrendous, JPY21,600 without lunch ! With highway toll fees and fuel, a round of golf comes up to an atrocious S$400!

The course is long but not fantastic. It has a quite friendly layout and not many blind holes. The fairways are also fairly wide.

Couples in the Park

Yesterday was at a park in Shunjuku with the family. Many couples were spotted so I went clicking away discreeetly, pretending to pan around for Chloe. Here's the interesting pics:

She's laughing now, let's see who has the last laugh.....

There's a hotel nearby....

Don't tell anyone I showed you....or else...

I hope I gave her the right answers...

I wonder why he brought a change of clothes...

I swear the I saw the water rippled..



Now how do I get her to remove the blanket??

You better say its good!

Now, are you ready? Wait, let me call my mum first....

Is that a spider?

Believe me...Stare long enough and the colour changes.
