A Tired Mr Hornbill

Oriental pied-hornbill
Anthracoceros albirostris

Rare encounter with a wild hornbill. It gave me almost a full two minutes of posing time. How I wish at this point I had better equipment.

 

Mr Hornbill looks a bit tired and lethargic, hope it is not ill. This majestic bird can often be spotted in island like Pulau Ubin. To spot it in close proximity in the city is really rare. 

If you happened to spot one of them, please just admire them for afar, don't attempt to have them captive. They are gifts from mother nature, not your pet!

Breakfast at 8

Invited to a impromptu food tasting new breakfast menu at Loading Bay The Bistro, could not resist taking a few shots before tasting. 

PS: I am not a food blogger

Need to finish the last episode

Keeping me up all night

Daily Commute In Bangkok

Bangkok Thailand

My recent trip to Bangkok - Thailand. The River Taxi (or Bus), what may seem like a novelty for some, is a normal and sometimes the only means of transport for others.

Flash of the Past

Vintage Flint Lighter

Memories of childhood, every 'mama shop' at the  corner would have one of these tied one to a string or weaved rubber bands for their customers to light up. Back in the days, they sell them by the sticks and it wasn't too long ago that they sell the 10 stick pack. I believe it was said to discourage smoking hence the 'ban'. Not sure how that works though?! 

The Grand Old Lady

The Grand Old Lady - Lao Pa Sat, truly an art piece.

Amidst the ever growing cityscape, Lao Pa Sat (Old Market) stands proud. Underwent countless facelifts, change of use. 
Over a century old, it witness the history, growth and change to the nation. 

The capture offer us alternative view not seen by many. 

Disappearing Trade

In this fast-paced, super efficient society, we often take for granted things around us.

Came across this craftsman soldering copper balls, along a pre-war conservation shophouse along Sims Ave. 

Wondering what are these copper balls for? Make a guess, an absolute essential, even in today's Modern Singapore.
