Yusheng lou hei haut ah re-union dinner

Hello,

I just upload a group of pictures on Yusheng and lou hei. This is something Singaporeans eat during Chinese New Year. This is only popular during 10 year + and I remember we do not have such a practice when i was young.

Yusheng  is raw fish salad.

Yusheng is interpreted as a homophone for Yúsh?ng (??) meaning an increase in abundance.

Lou hei it consist of shredded mixed colorful vegetables and stir together with Yusheng . The idea is to scoop up (lou hei) symbolize luck and prosperity and the higher you scoop the more luck you have for the coming year. Every year we do this and you look at the table it so messy. If you visit Singapore during  Chinese New Year probably you can try lou hei with your friends.

I want to wish every people a Happy Chinese New Year.

MICA Building and the cross road night scenery

Singapore night scenery-1

This picture was taken on Saturday night during my photography field trip for night shooting. The intention was to taken the picture as the night fall before the sky turn black. My instructor told us that the most beautiful moment is the dark blue sky before the sky turn totally dark and it happen within few minutes.

The MICA was once known as the OLD HILL STREET police station and it was constructed  in 1934. Only during the year 2000 that the build is handover to MICA.

As you can see  during at night  with the colourful painted windows and the light up of the building. It looked  awesome and beautiful. If you want to take the picture i suggest you try go to the River walk building carpark at 4th levels to shoot this great scene.

Hello folks,

Good afternoon, Pasir Ris Town Park is Hugh and it a good place to stroll and laid back. As you walk in the park, you can see many people  sitting along the pond fishing and if you do not like to wait and prefer something quick I suggest you head to shade the small prawn fishing kiosk. Prawning fishing is much more easy compare to fishing. I try fishing sometime back and you really need patient but prawn fishing are more relax and easy to pick up.

Most ladies would enjoy prawn fishing. As i was strolling and taking photographs i come across a Seafood Restaurant and a Cafe   along the at the prawn fishing kiosk.

It took me 5 to 10 minutes  to complete the walk around  pond.  Nice park and maybe i will be bringing my kid for some prawn fishing.

There are 2 part of the you can go to, First if you are bring your kid to the big playground then you must take Elias Road to   D. Over there you can find a Seafood restaurant  and a bicycles renting kiosk just around the corner of the car park. If you walk toward you left hand side will find the Big about 30 to 50 m away.

This is not the playground I use to remember a lots have change and more games had added in. You probably will hard to get a lot for your car during weekend as you can find many parents bring their kids to the place on weekend. Over at the beach you can find groups of family chatting, flying kite or playing at the beach.

Over at Car park  C you can find a Gallop stable,  a small chill out outlet   and a bicycle complex. I can find  many children and adult rolling skating and if you kid is interested with the pony ride you can check out the charge with the operator.

Hello and good morning,

I have been thinking about going down to MacRitchie Reservoir Tree top walk for quite sometime. Just that don’t really have the time. Anyway last week finally make my down to MacRitchie Reservoir for the tree top walk. I didn’t know that it was close on Monday. Hmmm….. So you folks if going for the tree top walk at MacRitchie Reservoir tree top walk please do not go down on Monday.They usually open from Opening hours of the Walk are Tue to Fri: 9am-5pm, Sat, Sun and Public Holidays: 8.30am-5pm. Closed on Mondays except public holidays for maintenance and research.

If you are driving down, you can park your car at Venus Drive, off Upper Thomson Road car park and it free.The car will close about 6pm or 7pm and if you didn’t manage to come out before this timing you need to come back the next day to collect your car. So, if you are coming for the Tree top walk do come early.


Normally, the distance felt longer when you walk toward the Tree Top walk compare to coming back from it. The total distance from car park to the Tree top walk and back to Venus Walk is about 10km and it took me close to 3 hour for the whole journey. It was tiring and my leg sore but it was a good walk.

The next time i go i will definitely ask some of my friends along for the walk, it won’t be so  bore. And last thing the walk is  not suitable for your children below 5 years old and pets are not allow to enter the Natural park.

Visit the Natural park to find out more about the
