China Town Walk

Life without a laptop just stops.
Misery of a software engineer he can't just live with or wihout it. I decided to take a day off from my work (Saturday n Sunday) and guess what I just couldn't decide what to d and where to go. Coming to office and working is so simple it takes away all the pain of spending time.So many things we cn literally do once I enter the Internet...n at office its always connected. Though at home also I can surf net but my buggin flatmates make life miserable n I feel better when I am alone all by me.
Neways since I had promised myself I went for a walk to China Town and I will let the pics do the talking.

This statue of the ole china man is at the metal gate of some museum around China Square and behind village

and this is one of the four marvellous gates. The oters I could not capture may be some other time I will do the same.

This one just on side of the escalators to china town's pagoda street caught my attention n this one I will name "THE GOVT", thats what was on my mind when I saw this.
There is a different architecture for temples in Singapore and Malaysia. This one is what I saw in China Town, in fact the street is called Temple Street

Don't know what coming up but workers were erecting one pagoda and something else.
It looked beautiful and interesting. There was one charachter with the bow that reminded me of the japanese version of god rama.



Walking around I discovered shades of life in Singapore which are virtually non existent to us when we move around shuffle in between office n home, travel. These untouched aspects of life are visible when you go to Little India on a Saturday or Sunday tp find labours all around or when I took this walk. Anyways claims of the government are now clear to me what it says n even what that means.

And this was the end of the walk. I left for BEDOK took a cab met a friendly cab driver n we had discussions about gambling in casinos of genting. watched Mangal Pandey which is too bad.
And what happens when there are lots of people breaking the law in a so called FINE CITY Singapore..nothing . Wish I could have taken this picture an hor before n the number of people behind this board would have made the difference. Still I will do it next time...there is a saturday every week isn't it?


more next time...can't blog on monday morning when there is work to catch up...
