It’s weird these days finding parts of Singapore different from 2 years ago. One of the things is the taxi fares and their speed of “ticking”…

I was on this yellow-top cab the other day. The fare started with $2.40 and it remained there for quite some time. I was rather happy then. Who said taking taxis is ex… Then suddenly, when the cab was travelling from one junction to another, the fare started to speed up. $0.20 during that span of road.

At the junction, the gauge ticked another $0.50!! Much faster than I could even track.

Then when I reached the destination, the price was $3.90. I gave him $5 and then got a change of $1.

Now the fare read “$4.00″.

Amazing.

I finally got round to sorting and processing all the 1000 photos we took during our graduation trip in China. Maybe in time to come, I’ll put in captions for them. These are photos we took in Nanjing, Huangshan, Hangzhou and Shanghai.

View the photos here and enjoy!

A random MSN conversation on a Monday evening…

me> the huangshan’s photos… it’s like i put a fake backdrop at the back
friend> haha, some of mine has that effect, the haziness makes it look like those olden days gongfu movies
me> haha or that ancient sun wukong drama… when he does the million-mile flip
friend> only 108000 li, about 5 percent of a million miles?
me> god… u caught that
friend> actually, why does he need to go so far, he’ll be way out of china haha
me> well- u need to assume he’s at the eastern most tip of china…. then he needs to flip to western tibet to meet the Buddha Ru Lai
friend> i thot he went to india?
friend> even so, that’s just a couple thousand miles
friend> they really exaggerate distances. and i remember sun wukong’s first teacher only taught him the somersault cloud, which is a lousier version of cloud riding. but it’s already so far…

Oh yeah… 天竺 = India… and sun wukong is amazing…

Being broadband-deprived for a few weeks has somehow disconnected me with the blogosphere and the world for a while. Didn’t think I rely on the internet so much…

Anyway, I caught up with a number of news and stuff. This barcode stuff is one of the coolest stuff i’ve seen since I’m back. This design film in Japan, Design Barcode Inc, introduce designs to make barcodes cool and more eye-catchy. These revolutionary designs are functional and pretty - plain cool!
