What's on my N70?

I posted a short entry in my geek blog with some random mobile phone photos. Click on the images for the full text.

Home is a cosy apartment on the top floor of a condo atop a hill in the center of a tiny island called Singapore. This is the main entrance. We live in a conservation area between the oldest (Chinatown) and newest (financial/ business district) parts of the city.


You'll see lots of old shophouses in the midst of urban renovation here, such as this one. Our street, Club Street was the HQ for many big Chinese clan associations back then. These days, it's an expat zone, full of delectable bars, cafés, restaurants and start-ups.


This time every year, parts of Southeast Asia are plagued by haze from land-clearing fires in Indonesia. As a result, our living room has looked out at this view for several weeks now. When it clears up, you'd often see a cloudless blue sky and a cityscape which reminds me of New York City at night.
