  This is a photo I snapped when I was strolling along the pavement of  'The Hollywood Walk of Fame' in USA. As I walked down the street spotting familiar names once in every few steps, I was pretty surprised to find Donald Duck's footprints imprinted onto the hard cold pavement. To start off with, Donald Duck isn't even the main character, Mickey Mouse is (though I did spot Mickey's footprints not far away.). At this rate, I'm sure the next most popular program show in USA would feature all their cast's hand/footprints onto the ground.

  Maybe Donald's footprints were imprinted because of his trademark feet in the show, where people would recognize even without his name written anywhere near. Or maybe we are all blinded by fame? In the real world, many people take advantage of one another to get to the topmost so that whatever they do get recognized worldwide. Maybe it 's because of this reason that people are getting more greedier with each passing day. This was what struck me as I stopped my tracks right there and then to ponder over the situation. There can't just be a whole never-ending pavement for the growing population in stardom, right?

Collecting Memories

Taking pictures or writing in a diary helps to store memories since it is easier for someone to recall memorable events that happened in the past. Although the memories are old,however,as someone constantly looking through the pictures or read their written diary entries,the memories undoubtedly remain fresh and of course,unforgettable. 

White Walls as a Canvas

Singapore Nights Festival @ National Museum of Singapore

These three snapshots of National Museum of Singapore were taken during Singapore Nights Festival. I was strolling around with my friends when suddenly there was something far across that caught my attention. 

Can you imagine... when the elegant white façade of National Museum of Singapore turned into a screen of colourful animation?! 
Yes, those entire white walls were FULL OF FISH! 

The fish animation was so smooth that it seemed like perfectly fused and became one with the walls. Cute fish were swimming back and forth, exploring the entire walls like it was really their habitat. I was so amused because that was my first time seeing such cute and creative animation being projected to a building. 

Initially, I really thought that walls with white colour are really boring. However, now I think that having white walls might be advantageous. At least, we all got a new type of canvas to exhibit our talent and creativity! (not to say to write or carve on it though! ;))

Every Second Counts

This is a video which I took during this rainy days in Singapore.

In rainy day, people usually tend to be lazy to do everything especially going out from home and prefer to sleep or wasting time at home. As you can see on this video, every second, minute, hour counts. The raindrops make a plenty of impacts every second which you can relate to human life in this world. Every second there are a lot people fail or success on the entire of the world. You can choose whether to be successful or be failure, everything you do each second decide how your future will be. Even these day are rainy days, you should not waste your time just to wait the rain stop, use every second in your live to do good things that can benefit your life and others.

Paper Cranes

Based on a work at http://2013tdla01.blogspot.sg/2013/11/paper-cranes.html.

This is a photo which I took a week ago in the Duty Free Store shopping centre. It is an artwork that consists of a thousand of white and red paper cranes that is hanging from the ceiling. It was very neatly arranged above the wooden base. I was really amazed when I first saw this artwork. Traditional people believe that the 1000 crane must be completed between one year and they all must be made by one person will be granted a wish at the end. It was a really nice piece of an artwork.

Donuts are Donuts

October 12 2013, marks a really special day for those crazy donuts lovers out there in Singapore. Krispy Kreme finally decides to make an appearance. I love donuts. But I'm not as crazy as the 12-year-old girl who won a six-month supply of free glazed doughnuts just because she was second in line during the opening. Like come on, it's Friday.She should be in school.But no, she decided to do something more important.

If you are wondering, I have actually eaten and tasted krispy kreme donuts way before it came to Singapore. I'd say they taste like how most donuts taste like. Donuts are donuts. So why are Singaporeans nuts over Krispy Kreme donuts?

i have value.

This coin , it has a value . i got no idea why people would not want to take it ,one of the reason might be because of it small value it carries . In the past , people would make it manually than by machines . It is a form of art to me. It sort of sadden me that people wouldn't take my 5cents, like the other day , when i bought water and it costed 70cents and i did not have 20cents so i filled it up with four 5cents and the aunty said " i only take two 5cents ". i was so upset . hey, 5 cents has it value too . Appreciate . It did not happen once but 3times in a row during the past week. From this i can say that a little talent is also a talent.
