Streets of Singapore Photo Trip and Dim Sum

LF and I were thinking of going for a short trip but couldn't decide where. So I suggested that we go around to shoot and have dim sum. He went on Canon's site and found a competition on something about streets so that's what we did today. Lau also took leave and came along to test out his D90.


We walked down along North Bridge Road and went into the many allies along it like Arab Street, Haji Lane, Jalan Pisang, etc.



There were many groups students walking around cos there were doing their heritage tour. We walked past an empty shop but suddenly we heard a lot of noises. When we turned around, we saw many students crowding around the shop.

All of them were shouting, "Auntie, how much?" and their teachers were shouting, " Stop shouting!" It was quite a funny sight and the shopkeeper was really busy and I'm sure, made a lot of money.



We walked around and saw many interesting things in that area.


Finally, the dark clouds couldn't hold it anymore and it started to rain. So we took the opportunity to take a break before going down to Chinatown. We got pretty hungry by the time we reach there and so we went straight to Yum Cha for their dim sum buffet. It was quite nice and fortunately we decided to go early because there were people queuing for the buffet after a while. We were wondering how was it that those people didn't have to work.





After that, we continue with our little photo adventure. The streets were really empty because of the rain.


Finally, we went up Ang Siang Hill and it rained again when we were halfway up. We finally made a round back to Chinatown and found ourselves too tired to continue.



It was quite an enjoyable trip. The weather was great! The short episodes of rain made the weather really cool. It was quite a fruitful day and I got to really try out my new camera which I bought at the COMEX.
