传灯The Light Transference Ceremony

Lip SengMay 20, 2015

传灯 The Light Transference Ceremony, one of the Vesak Day celebrations at Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery is the offering of light. That reminds us of the illuminating brightness of wisdom, which dispels the darkness of ignorance on the path towards Enlightenment. This urges us to seek the light of ultimate wisdom.
This image was captured more than twenty years ago in the Monastery. I remember I was searching an image for the “Singapore To-Day” publication. This is another image in my series of “Down The Memory Lane…….Singapore In the nineties….Image No.42”.
I wish all the bud-dish friends, a Happy Vesak Day!

SAF Day

SAF Day
The first Armed Forces Day was celebrated on 1 July 1969 with a grand parade and march-past at the Jalan Besar Stadium. July 1 was first celebrated as Armed Forces Day in 1969.
I captured this image in the seventies at the west side of Singapore. It was quite a display to watch from the spectator stand. (Image no. 41………..Down The Memory Lane……….Singapore In The Seventies..)

The Winner Is Yet To BE
No to be outgunned by the Guangzhou chess player, this pass time activity is also very popular in Chinatown here. This image was captured in 2003 shows our local players engrossed in their game. I think until today, the popularity of such game is still sustained at the same location. (Image no. 40…….Down The Memory Lane…..Singapore In The Twenties……)
