Cavenagh Bridge.
Like I said before, oldest bridge in sg. 1867. Last time was from a river boat, this time it was on foot.
Fullerton Hotel North Facade from Cavenagh Bridge.
Da man with Da Cityscape.I so wanna climb up there, put an arm around his shoulder and do a "yo man!" pose. But yup. Firstly, no one to help me take photos. Secondly, strangers will think I'm an escapee from woodbridge. Thirdly, there ain't many strangers to ask anyway. It was early afternoon on a weekday.
Really nice pic of High Street Centre.Actually, I took a total of like 20 shots from different angles. Like from both sides of the river, before and after the bridge, etc. and chose the one I liked best. Practice makes perfect.
Stalled and focused my cam for at least 30 seconds before conceding that it's the best that my cam can do. Pic supposed to show a flock of birds circling our Supreme Court and Parliament House.
Then, after my apptmt, as I was heading off to Tekka Market area for my next apptmt, decided to spend a little time at the Armenian Church opposite Funan Centre. It used to be closed all the time, but now, seeing that it's open to all visitors, I decided to go in and get trigger-happy.
Now, I won't caption most of the pix cos they're artistic sculptures, and can be interpreted in any way the viewer wishes too. There are no murals or explanations for these sculptures either, so I believe free interpretation was intended. Thus, the pix.
An angel carved on a tombstone.Disappointed with the above pic cos the wings are clipped. If I don't clip the wings, I will catch the building beside, which spoils the pic even more. The pic could have been better.
Anyway, the tombstone is one of twenty-odd tombs, all of saints who were once linked to the church.

The welcoming signboard.
Front facade of the church.As I finished off my apptmt, set off for home; but along the way, I spotted this!
Bertone X1/9Never thought I would ever see this classic in person. The car is a Bertone X1/9, produced 1972-1988, exterior & interior by Louis Bertone, and engineering by Fiat Motors. The car is reputed to be the "mini Ferrari", and was made with quality and style in mind.
To begin with, the cars themselves are rather limited in quantity around the world. To top that up, most of them are still in serviceable condition, with the distributors still supplying service parts for the vehicle.
Also, due to the small size, the car can be easily maintained; a single person can dismantle the whole vehicle for cleaning. Owners have pointed out that amazingly, even after 20 years of frequent use, they have failed to find a speck of rust during cleaning. This is remarkable given the relatively lower production standards of the 70s.
In addition to spotting this classic, I also spotted a 2005 Bentley Continental Flying Spur. Like WTF. Spotting 2 signature cars in a single day, both in the back alleys of Little India.
These are web pix; I didn't take any cos there were like bodyguards around this vehicle lor. PLS. But this is kinda my dream car ever since long long ago in Sec 3 I think. Except I used to admire its predecessors, now the new model is out, I like it too.
It's made to be the fastest four-door Saloon car ever in the world, sporting a 6Litre Turbo 12-Cylinder engine; that's like friggin top range. Have you heard of Ferrari V6 engines? Well this W12 engine is kinda like two V6 engines placed side by side.
This is an overtly powerful car, too powerful than necessary, just to tell people that you are friggin ATAS. But of course, that's also the reason I like it, because it's inaccessible, and takes a lot of effort to get to.
Nevertheless, I will always opt for the predecessor if it's available and still running.
Because.
Do I even need to explain why the 1955 Bentley R Continental rox?
