I like this kind of plants with a nice cut. They are called topiaries. The climate in Singapore gives the plants always an evergreen look. It happened that I read about a site that teaches you how to give your plants a nice topiary shape, totally d.i.y. If you like to try it, here’s the link to share with you…

How about being served cakes and fusion food in a service environment that look like this? These colours looked great in my opinion and this place’s name is ‘Secret Recipe’ and it is a lifestyle café chain. They have established its brand name in Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Pakistan as well.
Satay stalls by ming
Satay Club at the Esplanade has been transferred to the Clarke Quay site, several stalls from the original Satay club have moved to Sembawang. The satay stalls at Lau Pa Sat are popular with tourists, which served only at night when Boon Tat Street is closed to vehicular traffic and the stalls and tables occupy the street, it mimics the open-air dining style. Other satay hotspots include Newton Food Centre, East Coast Park Seafood Centre and Toa Payoh Central.
Among these choices, Satay Ayam (chicken satay), Satay Lembu (beef satay), Satay Kambing (mutton satay), Satay Perut (beef intestine), and Satay Babat (beef tripe), which ones do you like?
Splashes - Rain in Singapore by ming
Different culture has a different cultural attitudes towards rain. In temperate Europe, rain metaphorically has a sad and negative connotation in contrast to the bright and happy sun. Some consider it to be soothing or enjoy the aesthetic appeal of it. In dry places, rain is greeted with euphoria.
Do you like the rain? I like its distinctive scent (petrichor) which comes from an oil produced by plants, then absorbed by rocks and soil, and later released into the air during rainfall.
Singapore Skyscapers by ming
“What is the chief characteristic of the tall office building? It is lofty. It must be tall. The force and power of altitude must be in it, the glory and pride of exaltation must be in it. It must be every inch a proud and soaring thing, rising in sheer exaltation that from bottom to top it is a unit without a single dissenting line.”
—Louis Sullivan
That’s a quote from Louis Sullivan, the American architect who was ”father of modernism”.
To me it is soaring, rising, tall buildings. What’s ‘skyscraper’ in your terms?
Parallelism by ming
Chinese poetry uses parallelism such as in a parallel couplet, not only must the content, the parts of speech, the mythological and historico- geographical allusions, be all separately matched and balanced, but most of the tones must also be paired reciprocally. Even tones are conjoined with inflected ones, and vice versa. That’s just a side note, doesn’t this photo suit the title ‘Parallelism‘?
