This is where we locals come to chill out, by the one of these waterfront public spaces. Totally free of charge and a real feast for the eyes. City dwellers are deprived of nature, but not of beautiful city lightings. How many times I have set down here, on different events, with different people, soaking in this somewhat comforting enviroment - I have lost count. Some might call this a tourist trap, but for me, this is home.

Aka "sparerib king" (pai gu wang) which was essentially deepfried ribs coated with a kind of sweet/sour sauce, sprinkled with seasame seeds, and garnished with salad. Yummy!

Even as the local mass rapid trains zoom pass, it is still a calm and tranquil place out in the true heartland of Singapore. This is taken in a surburb called Khatib, where highrise HDB flats house most of the population. The locals can just slip into this quiet corner around this man-made lake to hill. Round the corner from where I shot this photo, there are families going for their night walks, joggers keeping fit, and lovers whispering into one another's ears.

Yusheng 鱼生 is a Chinese-style raw fish salad. It usually consists of strips of raw fish mixed with shredded vegetables and a variety of sauces and condiments, among other ingredients. Yusheng literally means "raw fish" but since the Chinese relates "fish (鱼)" with its homophone "abundance (余)", eating this dish symbolizes an increase in abundance. Therefore, it is popular in countries like Singapore, Hongkong etc. to eat yusheng during Chinese New Year to welcome abundance, prosperity and vigor. When eating this appetizer dish, chopsticks clash in the air as diners shout out wishes and toss their raw fish salads high into the air. Taken in restaurant Crown Village at NS Hometeam Sembawang, during the last day of Chinese New Year 2008 (golden rat year).

See how the boy has his backpack on the floor and sucks his thumb; while lying in a mess on his mess whilst the dad is organised with his backpack and coffee on his side table, book in his hand, composed in both his thoughts and position. Taken at Istanbul airport.
