I had the ‘killer’ tester.
I recall one practical session, when my instructor pointed at one of the ‘on TP test’ cars and told me that “He’s the killer tester. Name’s Mr Tan. Passed the least number of students.” He told me that I’d know him from the way he likes to put his arm [...]

Passed my driving test!
The day before Christmas Eve
There was a gathering… a reunion… a coming-together of old friends.
Never have I seen so many old familiar faces in Singapore, all at one go… in the same place. I like to use the phrase ‘warm and fuzzy’. It felt like that. It felt like I could just be myself; no need to shy [...]
Orchard Road
A random shot of two people sitting on a bench, reading the papers.
I soooo can’t do street photog. I’m shy. Hee. Whipping out a dSLR and pointing some fat lens at people is bound to get you some glares and hey-you’re-invading-my-privacy looks. Especially in Singapore. In London, people wouldn’t batter half an eyelid whether [...]
The Four Musketeers
It was exactly one year ago when the four of us last had the chance to meet up. It’s now been five years since TKG…
Everyone’s more or less the same – Tania and Lydia haven’t been particularly Aussienised, neither have their looks or styles changed. As for ZF… whom I meet every term break… [...]
Clash!
Once every so often you meet somebody from the other end of the spectrum. As in, personality-wise. The moment you meet, you know that it’s gonna be a test of endurance and your diplomactic, people skills.
Monica my ex- high school roommate stopped by for a day in Singapore, on her way to Sydney. While [...]
London Zoo
That was last Thursday.
Not the best of zoos I’ve visited. I prefer open zoos – and zoos in the tropics. The animals in the London Zoo look quite miserable. It occupies 15ha, barely one-eighth the size of the surrounding Regent’s Park, and about half the size of the Singapore Zoological Gardens. But it’s the [...]
Regent's Park
My best portrait shot of a Grey Heron to date :)
Coots fighting – they were too far away, unfortunately

More pics to come from the Applied Eco trip to London Zoo today. [...]
4 new otter cubs in Buloh!
I don’t believe I’ve seen so many smiley faces and exclamation marks in an email from Su Hooi (Outreach Officer, Sungei Buloh WR) before. But well – nobody can blame her for being overexcited.
*points to title of post*
*does a little dance of joy*
Yep! Buloh’s resident Smooth Otters (long thought to have been [...]
It all ends with wine and nibbles!
Even though Applied Ecology felt like a marathon right from the beginning, and the last two weeks were hellish, I loved it. That’s also despite the fact that nearly half of the syllabus was what we had for Resource Management last year. It was engaging and different, in some ways, from the other modules. I [...]
