Mid-Autumn @ the central

_MG_4752 - the Central

Heard from dad that there were many nice colorful lantern displays lining the banks of Singapore River on the side of the central shopping mall. Decided to go with my girlfriend and enjoy ourselves ; )

Gone To Seed

Gone To Seed... that's the topic chosen by last week winner, Fay, for this week's Creative Minds Photography Contest. Well... here's my upload:


_MG_5133 - Seedy Mooncake - Border

It was the mid-autumn festival last weekend and mooncakes was one of the many festive goodies. Sweet, rich, dense and baked in the round shape of the moon.

This one is vegeterian and full of seedy goodness... almond seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds etc. Gone to seed... gone to stomach : )

_MG_5244 - Little Red Seed - Border

Found this little red seed alone on the ground... scratched and bruised yet still vibrantly red. Most probably travelled a long way from its mother plant... and fulfilling its destiny one day. Ain't we the same?

Had a fun evening walking along Chinatown with my girlfriend and snapping up the brightly lit Mid-Autumn Festival decorations along the streets...

Lost Beetle

_MG_4586 - Beetle - Scouting

It came crashing onto my keyboard... in the wee hours of the morning. i was going through the many pics i took at chinatown last weekend with my girlfriend.

Dazed and disorientated, it tuck its feeble wings, steadied itself and started to explore its surroundings.
