Images of our Life

Images of our Life http://alex45.multiply.com/ Photography is my interest but I aren't good enough to have it support my life expenses. Sometimes in our lifes, we move so fast that we forget about all the beautiful things that is around us. The country develops so rapidly that she forgots about memories that have to be kept for our next generations to come. Even monuments are made to look good as new... Photography is an art. We all can help to bring back those memories or moods to those who forget that they have to look back... Please drop me some pointers or comments on the pictures. Thank you for taking a look around or for your kind comments/critics. :) Sun, 20 Apr 2008 04:03:27 -0000 Sun, 20 Apr 2008 03:57:16 -0000 Images of our Life http://images.alex45.multiply.com/logo http://alex45.multiply.com 100 100 Misc Fashion More and more photographers at such events and it is very difficult to get a good place http://alex45.multiply.com/photos/album/71/Misc_Fashion Sun, 20 Apr 2008 03:57:16 -0000 Closeups Something new for http://alex45.multiply.com/photos/album/70/Closeups Sun, 20 Apr 2008 03:53:51 -0000 Chingay 2008 Parade of http://alex45.multiply.com/photos/album/69/Chingay_2008 Mon, 18 Feb 2008 17:31:22 -0000 Misc Landscapes http://alex45.multiply.com/photos/album/68/Misc_Landscapes Thu, 14 Feb 2008 17:43:40 -0000 Flowers http://alex45.multiply.com/photos/album/67/Flowers Thu, 14 Feb 2008 17:42:03 -0000 Giants of the sky... http://alex45.multiply.com/photos/album/66/Giants_of_the_sky... Wed, 16 Jan 2008 18:16:16 -0000 Yet another day at work... Again I have to mention that when people is complaining on the retail standards here...I must say customer 5UCK5 even more! Maybe I should share some 'nice' experience of thick skin people from time to time whenever I have any incident so that, well, do reflect. Today I came across this weirdo customer. I was clearing some stuff up in the store and was called to the sales floor with indications that a customer wishes to provide feedback. The moment I approached him, he starts his not so productive feedback. He started saying that our items are locked up and that it should not, so that customers can have a good look at the item without asking for assistance. He also mentioned that we even locked up some of the items that is only worth about $12 (please note that item is right beside the entrance and is a blind spot). He made alot of fuss over it and mention that he will go to another company where they do not lock theirs (note that company usually have no crowd). While he is making... http://alex45.multiply.com/journal/item/15/Yet_another_day_at_work...

Talk about customer service, how many people are doing it? As much as travel agencies are concern, they do not seem to have any basic courtesy. They always seem so impatient. Recently I encounter this incident that I was enquiring about the price of a trip. Its either I dumb or the girl is. She made the total calculation and explain in a very summary manner over the prices involve. When asked to clarify on the price, she seem very impatient and raise her tone and place a calculator in front of me (for me to counter check). What she need to do is to only tell me properly what are the charges for once. She cannot expect everyone to be a expert on such pricings. I raise my voice right at the counter and decided to get out of the shop and I will never return. The reason I have gone back to the shop is the last time I have been served by a very patient and nice lady. Now, this other girl has changed it. I went to another agency where the service seems better, but unfortunately, now I h... http://alex45.multiply.com/journal/item/14/Tour_Agencies_-_Paying_for_Torture Fri, 19 Oct 2007 03:54:17 -0000 23 Amber Road -The Butterfly House 23 Amber Road is a 95 year old house in the Katong area of Singapore, nicknamed the Butterfly House. It is scheduled for demolition to be replaced by a block of flats. The house was built in 1912 by Regent A J Bidwell. Bidwell was the architect who designed the Raffles Hotel, Victoria Concert House, Stamford House and the Goodwood Park Hotel. This is the only private residence designed by Bidwell in the "butterfly style" (semi-circular) and is therefore unique and of great historical and architectural interest. It was the home of the Cashin family for three generations. This house is no doubt beautiful and grand. The above introduction has been extracted from www.irenelow.com History about Amber Road: <a href=http://infopedia.nlb.gov.sg/articles/SIP_332_2004-12-17.html>http://infopedia.nlb.gov.sg/articles/SIP_332_2004-12-17.html</a> http://alex45.multiply.com/photos/album/60/23_Amber_Road_-The_Butterfly_House Wed, 12 Sep 2007 12:35:17 -0000 Watch where you go.... <A href="http://alex45.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/59/2"><IMG class=alignleft src="http://images.alex45.multiply.com/image/2/photos/59/300x300/2/accident2.jpg?et=hkMZ551DyCw1OGrV2QRjLw" border=0></A>Its again this junction. Lots of minor accidents took place along this stretch and this time round, its not minor anymore, its fatal. Some lady died under the wheels of a Singapore-Johor express bus. These photos are not meant to be unrespectful for the dead. But it is the very truth of someone dying when someone else is not careful. <A href="http://alex45.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/59/3"><IMG class=alignright src="http://images.alex45.multiply.com/image/2/photos/59/300x300/3/accident1.jpg?et=v95pJLL8Q8YpdNAmjWXiag" border=0></A><A href="http://alex45.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/59/2"></A>   I have witness the scene of a terrible fatal accident when I was young. It was a much talk about accident back then. The lady was dragged by a public bus for a couple of kilometres before getting crushed under the wheels of the bus. The entire scene never get wash off my memories. Especially the scene where the police officers tried hard to wash off whatever is on the road. Here again I am witnessing someone dying under the wheels of a bus, though not as gruesome as the first one I saw. Still, someone died... Treasure life guys, watch where you go. Life is really short and you don't want to shorten it further. Gre... http://alex45.multiply.com/journal/item/12/Watch_where_you_go.... Tue, 11 Sep 2007 17:14:46 -0000 Poor Puppies During my reservist training, it was very unfortunate for me to witness the following. It was a very heavy downpour and the whole group of us were resting at one of the training shed in our exercise ground. There was this big excavator parked right in front of our shed. For some reasons, one of the construction guys came round and start the excavator. We were very shocked when we heard a few whimperings. Two puppies were instantly crushed to death as they were hiding within the gaps of the excavator's tracks. All of us were really stunned by the incident. At this moment, the driver stopped and came down to pick up the body of one of the puppies which was still in one piece. Unfortunately, the other was torn to pieces. After the excavator left, we saw the what we suppose to be the puppies' mum looking for them. She took quite a while under the downpour to locate her puppies and finally found the remains of the puppy being torn apart. She slowly go to and fro to bring back the remains ba... http://alex45.multiply.com/journal/item/11/Poor_Puppies Fri, 7 Sep 2007 13:35:42 -0000 Singapore Public Transport Improving???   <A href="http://alex45.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/59/1"><IMG class=alignleft src="http://images.alex45.multiply.com/image/2/photos/59/300x300/1/bus.jpg?et=yAXy6f,Qa1tcIMEy2BiIgQ" border=0></A> Public Transport, Don't Lie! Was waiting for bus 14 near at Orchard today. Please note that I waited a total of almost like half an hour for the bus. We all know that some bus stops have been installed with the arrival timing display board. Fortunately, the bus stop has one. A concrete proof for the irregular bus arrival timings. Take note of the incoming arrival time and the next incoming timing (for bus 14 and 16). Do they look different? For 36, its only 2 mins apart. What is wrong with our public transport services? Even though the frequency time is suppose to be reduced to every 10 mins in the near future, it probably won't solve all these problems. Tell me what is wrong...and if the operators are to blame it on traffic conditions all the time, who is in the wrong? Us, commuters? Disappointed commuter http://alex45.multiply.com/journal/item/10/Singapore_Public_Transport_Improving Fri, 7 Sep 2007 12:48:10 -0000 Sunday http://alex45.multiply.com/photos/album/58/Sunday Tue, 31 Jul 2007 03:38:13 -0000 Capitol Building http://alex45.multiply.com/photos/album/57/Capitol_Building Thu, 19 Jul 2007 16:52:27 -0000 CosFest http://alex45.multiply.com/photos/album/56/CosFest Wed, 18 Jul 2007 03:12:39 -0000 Miss World Singapore Preview II I don't know...just feel that the contestants this year is better than the last... http://alex45.multiply.com/photos/album/55/Miss_World_Singapore_Preview_II Tue, 10 Jul 2007 17:00:45 -0000 The Matilda House of Punggol, Singapore http://alex45.multiply.com/photos/album/54/The_Matilda_House_of_Punggol_Singapore Fri, 6 Jul 2007 15:10:11 -0000 Kallang Riverside The Oasis Building is placed under the plans of the proposed Sports Hub. According to news, the successful bidder to build and run the sports hub will have complete decision whether to keep or to demolish the Oasis. This place may cease to exist by end of the year...as a memory these photos will be,whether the Oasis will be demolished or will have a 'makeover'. http://alex45.multiply.com/photos/album/53/Kallang_Riverside Fri, 29 Jun 2007 04:44:15 -0000 DEPRESSION!!! Depression can be easily associated with stress and down periods as they all seems the same... In the fast paced environment that we are in, facing the pressure and tight time frame set by employers, its very much easy to be ending up in such a state. Certain characteristic symptoms can give you or your family a clue that you are depressed: <UL> <LI>Depressed or low mood <LI>A loss of interest and enjoyment in life <LI>A lack of drive or motivation that makes even simple tasks or decisions difficult or impossible <LI>Feeling tired all the time <LI>Agitation or restlessness <LI>Loss or gain in appetite with loss or gain in weight <LI>Sleeplessness or excessive sleeping <LI>Loss of self confidence, avoiding people <LI>Feeling useless, inadequate, helpless or hopeless <LI>Feeling guilty or worthless <LI>Thoughts of suicide; these are very common in depression and they are much better admitted than covered up. They signal that you need help.</LI></UL> Depression can be cured with medication or psychotherapy, but it takes time and p... http://alex45.multiply.com/journal/item/9/DEPRESSION Thu, 28 Jun 2007 17:15:05 -0000 Interesting Street Photography <A href="http://www.in-public.com/DavidGibson/image/1041">http://www.in-public.com/DavidGibson/image/1041</A> What the pic as linked above says?

Very few people alight or board from that stop, so you probably look like alien to others on the bus...haha For more information on the park, please refer to, <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_Seletar_Reservoir>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_Seletar_Reservoir</a> http://alex45.multiply.com/photos/album/52/Sunset_Seletar_Reservoir_Park Wed, 27 Jun 2007 02:09:43 -0000
