Cycling at East Coast Park

East Coast Park is one of our favorite hang out place, other than the library.













We love the place, even though the beach isn't too impressive, with all the oil tankers.































Our rented bike.









































































Try harder, you should be able to see Cindy in the picture.

Minor update on the East Coast bbq part 2

I almost forgot we brought another camera to the bbq. So here comes the picture from Vivitar.



















Our bbq pit. Clearer version.







































Ants were invading our bbq pit whole day long. One of them were held by me as POW.













Lovely sunset.

Salomon X Terrain run

It was a cold Sunday morning. The sky was dark and far away a group of cloud was waiting at our destination. The cloud was thick and heavy, a towering giant rising from the horizon to the tip of the sky. It scared me. It didn't seem like a good day to do a mud trail, or a walk in the park. But we payed 30 dollars each.

We reached there quite early, maybe too early, the crowd was very small compared to the other runs that we did.













Not much light around.

The run started in 2 waves. The men's open category started 20 minutes before the other categories. I started later as I wanted to run with Cindy.













Before the second wave started.













The sun suddenly decided to show his face and the giant went off for his tea break.













The run started with a pond, luckily we weren't running across it.













Dry mud trail. I was laughing before I stepped into a puddle of wet mud.

The trail quickly changed into some jungle trails with lots of tress and and uneven slope. I tried to take a few pictures but they all turned out underexposed.













Nice bridge, but we went the other way.













Cindy slacked after coming out from the jungle.













Warning sign before the mountain trail.













All the way up.













Cindy leading the pack by trail hogging.













Drinking water at the last part of the mountain trail.













Another run conquered.

























Muddy shoes and legs after the run.

Purvis street... Love it! Nice food is lurking on this street too (e.g. Miss Clarity Cafe, Chicken Rice and Thai Food)... Located in the photo is my favourite chicken rice and bread . Go check it out when free. They too sell decent coffee...

Exteriors of the Thai Food restaurant along Purvis street. Another of our favourite haunt.

Exteriors of the national library.. The spiral effect...

Along the corridor of one of a posh restaurant. The reflection on the table is cool...

A star like sunlight... Credits to Ed... A church...

Started posing outside the church... We did not even realise there was a church near Bugis..

Posing in front of a shinning stone outside the church... Love it.. Has the fairy tale effect... Initally I was still afraid that there will be overexposure and photos will turn out blur.

A fire-like effect... It was actually just clouds above it.

HDB flats along Bugis...

Simply love it..

Colourful buildings. Love the clarity othe photos..

End: OG... Rather please that we managed to capture the bubbles which an Uncle was playing.. (One of the tactics of selling the bubble gun)

After the shoot, we chirply went to Triple D @ Burlington Square to process our photos... Rather pleased with Vivitar... Wonder where our next stop will be...

New Balance Real Run

The ultimate cross terrain run! Being the avid event chasers, Cindy and I joined the 15km run which includes of 4km of mud, 10.4km of runway, and 0.6km of sands trail.

Armed with the new Vivitar and Super Sampler, we reached Changi Coast Road at about 630. There's another hour till the event, so we just fooled around with our new toy.



































































Cindy is getting ready to run.













Mud trail is the first challenge. Luckily it never rain on that day.













This cone signified the end of mud trail and the start of the road.














The drink station at the start of the road.














The runway got boring after a while; this is the view we looked at for almost 6km.













So we looked at the sky sometimes.













Finally, something different, the sand trail, the 15km challenge was coming to an end soon.













The sand trail was pretty fun, too bad it was only 0.6km. We were again out of the park and hitting the road.













The last stretch to go home. I have no idea how did the ghost image of the arrow sign manage to slip into the photo.

I was very anxious to see the result of the Vivitar, as the pictures that I saw on various site were all pretty exciting. The first roll didn't disappoint me. Although I wasn't really satisfied when I first saw the photos, the second time I looked at it, I started to find these pictures interesting, with the unexpected light stream shining in certain pictures, and the soft vignettes at the edges.

It might be psychological, like how parents always think their baby looked best.

If you don't like them, I am going to hypnotize you.

These pictures are nice.
