Heartland

I love walking around the heartlands, buzzing with activities, and taking in all the sights and sounds.

Here's an introduction to Hougang ... nearest town to Sengkang and one of my favourite place to shop .


Apparently there was some Karaoke singing competition and this uncle was belting out his tune with much gusto and was pretty macho man ....hehehe...Sand was staying this is a typical Karaoke pose to show heartache and angst ..hahahah


Kids enjoying themselves while their parents were glued to the Karaoke Competition. Yippee !


Always thought Malay barber shops are really cool with their crew cuts. Stylo SIA !


Sneaked up to a group of Ah Peks (oops, some lads too) pitting their skills at Chinese Chess. The hilarious thing was that when I took the shot, the Malay Barber (cos this was placed outside the shop) came out and this is what happened .

Barber : *Smiles* Why are you taking the picture ?

Me : Errr .. for my own keeps ...* smiles sheepishly*

Barber : You want to interview my boss or not ? See that young man over there in blue, he is the boss ... Oi Ah "XXX", this girl want to interview you !!

Me : *Panics* ... No, no, no .... I dun want to interview him ... Oh, Hello *waves to Mr "XXX" ...hehehehe

Barber : You doing school project ah ?

Me : Yah yah , hehehe .. thank you..... bye bye .. * scoots off quickly*


Hahahaha ... me must have looked "young" ...still doing school project ....
Found this at a traditional medicinal hall and wanted to get Sand to pose next to the bottles so that I can take the retro thermos flask but she refused (think she learnt her lesson in Bangkok..hahaha..ask her for the story the next time you see her) so it is ZOOM lens to the rescue!

Oh, who can miss out the newspaper auntie .. Ma Bui Po .....

A must have in most heartland towns, the towel & curtain shop. But sometimes the towels are not absorbent enough leh ...

A pity the shop was not opened ..have always been intrigued by the workings of the Dang Tian..
