Singapore National Day Parade 2011

Posted: 06 Sep 2011 11:24 PM PDT

Although a bit late, but good photos are worth to share :D

For the first time, went for Singapore's National Day Parade (NDP in short) to witness it LIVE, on the final rehearsal at The Merlion as well as the actual day at Marina Boulevard, after considering this place has a better view for fireworks.

Here are some photos taken during the final rehearsal and the actual parade day. Comments and feedback are welcomed!


Red Lions Parachuting Team. A total of 6 members jumped from the sky - 10,000 feet above us

The Seahawk Helicopter


The Chinook Helicopter

See the Naval Divers jump into the water?


The Apache Helicopter

Seems like in blockbuster movie series?

Aha...it's The National Flag Flypast

F-15SG Jets Fly Pass the Moon


The crowds at the The Float@Marina Bay



Not to forget, the Fireworks! 

Need to improve on the exposure time as plenty of my shots were overexposed, way too bright.

Beautiful Singapore night cityscape

Throughout the NDP 2011, my favourite shot would be this one...the 21 Cannon Salute
Already made it as my laptop wallpaper :)


Good Morning Nanyang Cafe 南洋早安!

Posted: 06 Sep 2011 09:12 PM PDT

Headed down to Good Morning Nanyang Cafe on the morning of Hari Raya holiday last week. Tired of having normal traditional kaya toast roti (bread) with kopi and eggs? Perhaps you will like the breakfast here: combination of East and West makan style.

Credits to Leslie Tay's popular food blog ieatishootipost and his Facebook Fan Page, got to know that there's 50% discount on all set meals on the morning of that day. Chee Seong's (my uni buddy) vote of confidence on the food here raised my level of interest to come here to savor its set meals.

When you arrive at Chinatown Point Level 3 via escalator, Good Morning Nanyang Cafe will be at your left


lim (drink in Hokkien) Kopi...a must for me when having breakfast in my hometown Ipoh. Sweet and smooth with minor bitter aftertaste, not bad!


This is what I called East meet West: Orange Ciabatta Toast with homemade Kaya. Ciabatta is an Italian white bread made with wheat flour and yeast. Soft but crispy, total different feel from normal kaya roti toast! Signature meal of the cafe, must try! 


Chee Seong mentioned to me that I should also try their Thick Toast, which is equally good. Hence, during the weekend, went down there with Chee Seong and Siew Hong for evening tea time there again. Not many people at the mall, but it was full house inside the cafe.

Different from what I thought, the thick toast here is covered with a thick layer of kaya spread instead with peanut butter and honey that I eat normally. 正!

Met ieat's Leslie and Nanyang's boss Byron! Have a great time chit chat with both of them :)

As Chinatown Point is going to have major renovations from October 2011, Byron mentioned that he needs to source for alternative location after the lease ends on 30th September 2011. Any places to recommend? Hope to be somewhere Central or along MRT lines, as can serve as a gathering place for makan kakis from North South East West, aha!
