Analog Toronto

There’s always a special place in my heart for Toronto. Strangely the city reminded me of home, for whatever odd reason, when I was studying in Buffalo. My return to this city reminded me how much has changed over the years. There’s even more new construction around. This city has this perpetual urban redevelopment going […]

Seafood from the rising sun

I’m trying out the new logo HL did for me. Exciting things are going to happen to my portfolio website… Anyway back to the photo… I was in Koreatown in Toronto with HL during Spring break. A graffiti beside the dumpster… For some reason it bears more Japanese influence than Korean. Maybe it’s the rays […]

Sweet Steamed Buns

These were supposedly H & my dessert. But somehow they came out much earlier. I don’t recall ever eating colorful buns. It’s always the typical lotus paste or BBQ pork bun for me. These are really awesome… Sweet but not overly done. I think kids will like them too. Seriously, the restaurant should promote this […]

Afternoon in Toronto

This shot was taken before winter descended upon us during a trip up to Toronto. I was asked by the guys in lab what is it like during winter in Singapore. Awkward question… But really, the chill here makes me appreciate the hot and humid weather in Singapore. I know my friends in Singapore beg […]

Glass Palisades

Took this from the front seat of my friend’s car. Drive-by shooting and spontaneity: a perfect combination for a last minute trip up north. Sometimes I feel that crossing the border from US to Canada is somewhat like going to Malaysia from Singapore. Buffalo is like Woodlands… Where things are “cheaper”. Hmm… Maybe the factory […]

Play that walkman

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.

The Optical Shop

A pretty retro signage. Don’t see people putting up the spectacles logo to indicate they’re an optical store since the mid 90s.

Dawn to Dusk

It’s been a rough week for me. I lost everything in my academic life overnight. Not everyone gives a deal about it, or is capable of empathizing with my plight. I lost the goodwill and patience to be nice to people. Much less the effort to address a misunderstanding. Rough days happen to people all […]

The House Engulfed In Virginia Creepers

I don’t particularly fancy creepers. They just creep me out! Haha… Anyway it’s such a coincidence that the homeowner returned home just as I was trying to snap a shot of the house. The creepers do give the house a gardenly feel, but I’d rather my house be creeper-free.   P.S.: There is a road […]

I’m Watching You

That squirrel was keeping close watch of me right up that tree. Creepy… I wonder if it were the same squirrel that stood at my feet while I was focusing intently with my camera. It’s quite freaky that I was under the surveillance of all the squirrels in that park. Eyes in theĀ  sky canopy… […]
