Chinese heritage centre at NTU

Chinese heritage centre is the National Monument built in 1953 near Yunnan Garden at NTU-Singapore. My NIKON moment of this beautiful piece of architecture....say cheese :-)

Half rainbow and Nikon D40

I was suggested by some friends, who are so called professional photographers, that to learn photography you need to rise above a point and shoot camera. I bought an SLR camera (Nikon D40...a beginners camera) one year back. But, it is now that I am getting hold of it...i mean physical hold..I somehow manage to keep it away and hence i am still an amateur. Anyway enjoy this picture of rainbow.

Halloween in Singapore

Halloween is celebrated on 31st October. I didn't know that. I used to think it is an American phenomenon. I never suspected that Singaporeans too indulge in this fun festival.

By accident I happen to be at Clark Quay to witness and be part of the fun event. I went with a friend to do some night photography and end up enjoying Halloween.

Here are some snaps:

Kalam at NTU

Former Indian president and missile man APJ Abdul Kalam was here at NTU-Singapore, to be conferred an honorary doctorate in Engineering. Majority of Indian students, research staff (including me) and faculty was here to welcome him, along with the Singapore president, and other dignitaries. This was his second visit to NTU. He first visited NTU in the year 2006 during his presidency tenure.

This was my first live visual of him...being in research i always wanted to see him live... I missed my first chance by whiskers during his IISc visit and also his earlier visit to NTU.

His speech was surprising boring, and not at all according to his old charismatic self. However, he will definitely be the most student friendly president ever. And we love him for that.

For trivia lovers: I got my NTU degree earlier than him, of course at the same auditorium...u can revisit my convocation post for verification.

Kangaroo NOT on the table

My last post on kangaroos had me in trouble for showing kangaroos in bad taste (literally). The idea is to amend that mistake for good by posting this picture and avoiding any troble from PETA or Menaka Gandhi...Hoping that this picture is worth thousand words.

Note: The kangaroo in the last picture has strong reservation about being seen with me. I had no choice but to remove it.

Guess the caption I

Whosoever identifies this picture and gives the best caption will win a dinner for one in River Walk Tandoor-Clark Quay, Singapore. Competition is open to all, and the winner can claim his/her price from me @ MMC-MAE, NTU.

Answer will only be accepted in the form of comments in my blog. I will be the only deciding factor for the competition. Based on the responses I will post more of my (work) pictures to further the game, and prizes.

Dinner can be claimed not more than 1 week later after the winner is announced, unless I agree to do so. Any doubts, discrepancy, controversy over the choice of winner will not be entertained, unless I agree to do so.
