Peace To All


In light of the recent tsunami/earthquake disaster in Asia, here’s wishing peace to the world in the year 2005. The tsunami is an unprecedented disaster and its unfortunate victims will require tremendous assistance in rebuilding their lives. I urge everyone to spread the word about donating whatever they can to assist them.

“Where’s a free cab when you need one?”


I caught the above scene while touring the backstreets in the Central District in Hong Kong. I am not entirely sure why this particular street is full of the trademark red-and-white Hong Kong cabs; perhaps they are all queuing up to catch a fare someplace nearby. I thought initially that the long line of taxis along with the dramatic lighting made an interesting picture already, until this man pushing his cart of goods came coming down the slope. To me, it seemed as if he was unhappy that he was unable to find a cab willing to take him (although I think he wasn’t actually looking for a ride in the first place!).

Just what do these colourful tanks contain? I caught them sitting pretty on the back of a fishing boat while on a visit to Changi Jetty more than a year ago. I suspect that they contain fresh water supplies for the offshore islands of Singapore.
