Gave into the hype train and headed down to Changi's brand new mega mall, Jewel. It really is a giant shopping centre with a huge terrarium in the middle.

The indoor waterfall is very impressive. The torrent of water plunging down to the atrium below will kick up a huge splash and you can feel the droplets on your face in spite of the football field wide perimeter at the base.

Some obligatory waterfall shots with random people heads inside. (Hey, it was crowded ok)

Specifically went to Jewel to have Shake Shack lunch at 11am. Saw the queue and noped out. Went to Muji cafe instead.

They said Muji cafe food is like expensive cai png. 

So I made sure to order as un-cai-png as possible.

Shake Shack, I will return.

Toa Payoh is just filled with cats.
There's one under every block. Well fed by a host of cat ladies whose sole purpose in life is to fatten up the little critters like nobody's business.

I may grow up to become a cat lady too.

I hope not.

But the odds aren't in my favour.

Look at that cute bottom sticking out from the petals. The bees in Singapore are much smaller than the typical western honey bees. Not so furry as well. But still very cute.

I notice they frequent certain flowers more than others, and the flowers featured above are particularly attractive to the bees.

I'm on a quest to capture the elusive black carpenter bee. Far rarer than the apis cerana. But much easier to spot due to its massive size.

If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?

Yeah, this camera does not do well close up.

And by close up, I mean aprox. arms length from subject.

Got a boatload of blurry shots.

See the perching giant dragonfly right in the centre of the frame?

Yeah, me neither.

Stunning flowers all out-of-focus.

This camera does best on a blazing bright day, for long-range landscapes.

I realised just how soft and pastel my film turned out with a $10 Taobao plastic camera. Too bad it started to light-leak badly after the 2nd roll.

Hmm... 

On second thoughts, I actually quite like the light leaks.
