Deepavali @ Little India

My second deepavali celebration all alone in Singapore; usually I call 2 important person on that day, 1st my mom and 2nd my fiancee (present), lover (past) & wife (future). what surprises me was there particular question, whether singapore celebrate deepavali? it is actually good question because I didn’t shared my previous year experience with them, so they thought I won’t be getting leave as well.

Coming to deepavali celebration in Singapore

Little India  well known place for indians in singapore, deepavali will be celebrated with lots of light decoration all over all the streets in Little India, this year they have extended more lighting and covered all the streets almost they were switched ON for the past 1 month.

Crackers are banned in singapore so most of the deepavali fun is missing, like we can’t enjoy the skies in the night of deepavali how we are doing in India. In simple words, India – deepavali was full fun, enjoyment & beautiful & here it is another public holiday. 

But Little India is happening place during deepavali because of shopping, stage programmes, food & long walk in the streets are really great fun; this year I went to deepavali shopping few days before and when I went to explore it was rush, for 30 minutes I felt like in Chennai (T.Nagar)

Eventhough I celebrated deepavali alone it was different experience this year.

Canon Powershot SX110 IS

After many days of research I found & bought Canon Powershot SX110 IS. It was handy, good image quality, clarity, 10x zoom & within my budget of 500 SGD (price of this camera in singapore is 499SGD).

Below are some of the reviews I went through about this camera,

Anyway I tried comparing with other camera’s as well, funny part is I took 1 hour to buy this camera in the “Harvey Norman” shop; trying zoom, various modes and image quality.

Below image was taken in Night Mode with 10x zoom; this was the top elevation of 40 storey building.

Below image is taken in Night mode without zoom, you can see the image quality and clarity.

Last 2 images are my favourite! 

Near Office!

Photography! one of my hobby & interest; the camera which I am using is 2 megapixel mobile camera, picture quality is not so good, lot of care is needed while shooting; one of the main challenge for me is light.

Anyway I am planning to buy good camera, I am still investigating the price, features and reviews; let’s see how it is working out.

From Office Cafeteria

I thought of sharing some of my interest and I am starting with the first one which I took around my office; mobile are very handy because when I see some nice place with perfect lighting then I will click it with my mobile…

Just click!…

International Business Park(IBP) is where my office building located, nice location far from crowded city life; 

I got this shot in the evening @ around 7.00 pm

German centre stop.

 

Everyday I use to take bus in this stop, totally opposite compare to my hometown. They keep up the time & bus captains show lot of courtesy to passengers. One of the reason I like singapore; they have very good public transport; trains are the best compare to bus service and singapore government is also planning for more train service and reduce the bus service (green environment programme).

I will reach my home approximately in 25 to 35 minutes with all the comfort.
