I encountered this scene a short drive from the city of Kurunegala in central Sri Lanka. My family and I were sitting in the van on our journey to Dambulla when we encountered men offloading piles of coconuts, while the ruggedly weathered man nimbly sheds husks off the drupes that surround him.

“Children on a Bicycle” is one of Lithuanian artist Ernest Zacharevic’s iconic street art in Penang, and is really popular with tourists. There was a group of Chinese national tourists hogging the mixed media graffiti for their numerous selfies when all of a sudden an old man speeds down the road nonchalantly at top speed, […]
I can’t find the exact name of this graffiti or the artist(s) responsible for it. The style of the caricature reminds me of 1980s anime, and seems to play on surreal humor on the classic box cutting magic trick. The idea of the magician’s boxes plays off nicely on the grid surface of the shophouse […]

The street art extends all the way to the concrete drain covers at the bottom, which used to feature speech bubbles of common […]

This sculpture is part of a series of 5 figures contoured from steel wires, titled “The Stair, The Clouds and The Sky” that dot […]
Saw this on my way to Ellicott on Sunday. I wonder who’s the chap that gave this balloon. His heart must have been crushed. Tragic… On another note someone just eloped (for the night). Guess who?
Whoever said the Walkman is dead clearly hasn’t been to Canada. P.S.: This guy fiddled with his Walkman for 15mins before he could get his machine going. It plays cassette. No CDs, MDs or MP3s for this guy.

Looks better than it really is.

Surprising find along Jurong West Street 22. I was location scouting around that secluded area when I chanced upon a tractor.

Fann Wong and Christopher Lee would have looked better in these than those Bally’s.
I didn’t know Che Guevara could look so heroic and vogue.

When I was a kid, my Gramps got me a pair of Char Kia (clogs) from Chinatown. Such fond memories…

I was sitting on a bus when I noticed this ad on a building. It gave me quite a good laugh. Guess we know where their biggest source of customers come from! PS: I totally love that URL. Short and honest. XD

I just love the sign. Somehow, my friends disagree with me.
