a place to reveal | a place to hide
After a lot of culling, post-processing, geo-tagging and what have you… I have finally uploaded my family’s New Zealand trip photos on Flickr.
There are a few photos I will have to touch up. I’m just happy I’ve finally uploaded them.
Now, to KL this evening for Michelle’s wedding. Back in Singapore in 2008!
Similar PostsThe pinnacle of motorsport, Formula 1, comes to Singapore in September next year. I eagerly wait for the announcement of ticket sales.
For those of you who are similarly anticipating the race, you can view a historic clip above, reporting on the 1966 Singapore Grand Prix. This involved cars (I think I spotted a Mini Cooper) and motorcycles. The reporter called it “the premiere motorsport event in South-East Asia” and apparently “attendance topped a quarter million”.
That’s pretty amazing attendance considering the population of Singapore in the ’60s.
You can also read about the old Grand Prix and the Singapore Airlines Rally in 1977. (via Yesterday.sg: Singapore Grand Prix at Sembawang Circuit and Motor Racing in Singapore)
Similar PostsIt’s not exactly the Sunscreen song, but Michael J Fox still has some life lessons to share. Language warning, though. A small quote:
My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance, and in inverse proportion to my expectations.
Acceptance is the key to everything.
Which isn’t to say that I’m resigned to it, or that I’ve given up on it, or that I don’t think I have any effect on the outcome of it. It’s just that, as a reality, I get it.
A Blessed Christmas to you, wherever you are.

Totally gripping! And this comes from a Josephian.
Peter Chan guest blogs at Good Morning Yesterday, describing an epic battle between Raffles and Saint Andrew’s for the Kiwi Cup. Inter-school rugby sounds like a load of fun (and danger!) in the old days.
Makes me really regret not playing when I had the chance.
Talking about Kiwis… Yes, I owe my loyal readers photos and stories from my trip to New Zealand. Akan datang, yah? I’ve finished post-processing but have had trouble geotagging the photos. The software keeps on crashing! *fumes*

I was headed to Jurong East on Saturday. While I was in the train, I was wondering how many stops it would be to my destination. I looked at the map and counted the stations.
It took me a few moments to realise that I was looking at a retro MRT map!
This was from the time before the North-East Line, when each direction had a unique colour. The current map has one colour per line (regardless of direction) a la Harry Beck’s London Underground map.
The map was the only retro one in the train. I walked up and down a few cars, but I saw the current maps elsewhere. Was someone at SMRT feeling sentimental? Or did they run out of the current maps?
Whatever the case, it was nice to see this old map, a small look into MRT past…
Speaking of which, do check out PY’s Yesterday.sg post about the very first MRT ride! Can you believe it’s been 20 years since the MRT started operating?
