Lizard in Labrador Nature Reserve

Captured on: 2015-05-08 16:16:11

GPS location: 1.266148, 103.803184

Description: It startled me when I found this lizard within 3 meters. However, it had not noticed my existance, and slowly crawled away. This was taken in Labrador Nature Reserve, a place only one kilometer away from the Vivo City, a huge shopping mall in southwestern Singapore. I think that is why Singapore is called garden city.

Farewell to NUS

Captured on: 2015-05-08 12:51:51

GPS location: 1.301711, 103.770721 Altitude: 54m

Description: I was quite surprised at the fact that this was the only place in NUS where it most probably be a school gate. The campus had no gates or walls and public buses went across the campus. I think a university should have no wall, it should be an academic shrine for scholar and a natural park for residents nearby.

Merlion

Captured on: 2015-05-07 18:34:40

GPS location: 1.286918, 103.854538 Altitude: 29m

Description: It was told in myth that Merlion was an auspicious animal first Singapore residents accidentally found. Merlion park is a must-go destination for tourists, but I did not know why, I had not been there until last days here. Goodbye Merlion, goodbye Singapore!

Horton Plain

Captured on: 2015-05-03 08:34:00

GPS location: 6.796626, 80.805283 Altitude: 2,032m

Description: I think Horton Plain is the essence of the nature beauty in Sri Lanka. After standing in a 30Km/h train for 4 hours and bumped in car for 2 hours, we finally arrived here. With no single tourists in sight, that was the pure scenery I had not seen in life. As you can see, the index page picture is cropped from this one.

Sri Lanka Driver

Captured on: 2015-04-30 12:00:00

GPS location: 7.275303, 80.637107 Altitude: 500m

Description: The hospitality of people in Sri Lanka was a surprise for us. This driver took us to have breakfast in his favourite restaurant and helped us choose fruit. When we ended our journey, he asked to see us off in airport. But probably, he fell in love with one of our girls...

In memory of Lee Kuan Yew

Captured on: 2015-03-27 05:03:51

GPS location: 1.2893, 103.8499

Description: During our exchange semester, previous Singapore premiere Lee Kuang Yew lefted us. We joined the long queue to visit his coffin in Parliament House. We heard about the news that it need wait 8 hours in the extremely long queue, we departed at 11:00pm hoping fewer people at night. However, the queue never shortened. We were quite surprised at the order and warm heart of volunteers, providing fruit, water and food at cold night. R.I.P

Patong Beach Posing

Captured on: 2015-02-27 11:17:49

GPS location: 7.901712, 98.296624

Description: On last day of our trip to Thailand, we went to Patong Beach to take photos. Under the guidance of "Director He" and with the help of Canon camera, we spent a morning and took a set of photos in this famous beach. I doubt whether we have wasted the great sunlight, as most trourists seem enjoying shining under sun. However, we felt as if baking in the oven, so perhaps posing and photoing was our best choice.

Boating on Mae Klong River

Captured on: 2015-02-22 18:44:41

GPS location: 13.423001, 99.960138

Description: After shopping and eating for a whole afternoon in Amphawa Floating Market, we took a boat to find fireflies. Singing on the boat, viewing the beautiful sunset, enjoying the valuable peace, I had not felt so relaxed since college. I became a workaholic in the tiring 2014. However, exchange semester gave me a chance to re-orient balance between work and life.This photo was the moment I got released from the stress.

Cook food and have dinner

Captured on: 2015-02-19 20:17:20

GPS location: 1.319747, 103.774296

Description: Some of exchange students lived outside campus. One night, we went their apartment and had dinner together. Cooking ourselves was a challenge for us, for the lack of experience and equipment. Using plastic bowls, and cooked in the same pan. However, generally speaking, the meal is OK. By the way, beer was quite expensive in Singapore.
