Mrupupup loves to take pictures as you can see in the various blog posts. Well, Tiong Bahru estate is good for taking photos as the buildings are unique in deisgn and the estate exudes a certain 'old world' charm not found anywhere else in Singapore. This time round Tiong Bahru estate was taken using the instagram app in the mobile phone. Enjoy.

Sengkang Riverside Park is a nice place for photography. Sengkang Riverside Park located at Anchorvale Street and along Sungei Punggol. The park is not crowded and one can do a decent jog around the place. The park is interesting because of the unique sculptures and man-made wetland for birds. Go fly kite, go walk walk, cycle or maybe grab a bite at the mushroom cafe (run by the people who operates Old Chang Kee puffs). Enjoy the pictures.

Mrupupup never got a chance to visit the Chinese and Japanese Gardens in Singapore for many years. Well, took a trip down to the massive Chinese and Japanese Gardens in Jurong. The Chinese Gardens had a tall tower and many statues surrounding it. The Japanese Gardens was nice and had many red bridges just like in Japan. The Gardens are good for a evening stroll or jog. Nice place. If you want to go the Chinese and Japanese Gardens (the two gardens are next to each other), just take the MRT train to Lakeside station, which is in the western part of Singapore. Enjoy the photographs.

Photography at times captures the mood of a place. Went for a walk along the Singapore River, photograph the people, the places and try to capture the spirit of Singapore River.
