that quarry that remains a query

this morning, had mcd bfast with joelle, then joelle went to work, while i get home and couldn't get myself to sleep... so, i decided to go for a walkie in the afternoon. but, must be back home by 1pm, as ikea will be delivering megan's wardrobe. fired up google earth to plan my route, found that there is a quarry site after stagmont ring... 11am, here i go...

it all started from the canal once again...

along the way, capture some shots...

finally reached stagmont ring (where the railway track and the road crosses).

i cross over the old bukit timah road. halfway to reaching the quarry, i stumble upon this signboard... omg, they carry guns and shoot people inside wor... so, LL i turned back...

then, i decided to walk back home via the other side of the canal...

the railway track side...

its not a boring walk back from the railway side of the canal...

cuz, also got flowers that the other side don't have wan...

for example, this one...

this one...

and this one... hmmm, grass is greener on the other side wor...

yeah, my fav railway track...

can't get too close thou, cuz got a feeling that a train may come from behind... i even took out my earphones in case i can't hear the train coming... 心理作用吧... :P

wanna wait for the next train to come along and take a snap... but, its coming to 1pm le, so i dropped the idea, and headed home... however, do managed to snap a train thou... :P

from google earth, the quarry site is circled in yellow.

i started from the left, in the red route...

saw the signboard at the yellow cross, and turned back in the blue route...

ghee... the ikea guys still not here yet wor...

有点饿了~~~

densha otoko

ytd, i came across this book at kino, and was attracted by the title, as i'm quite a lover of trains. hmmm, another international bestseller wor, i meant, nowadays it seems like every book is printed with this 'bestseller' word wor... turned the book behind, and read its synopsis... hmmm, a story, about a man who resued a woman from a drunken harassment, then sort of met up and fall in love... typical storyline... as i read on, it says, the storybook is actually the whole chunk of posts lifted from an internet forum, that this hero densha otoko (train man) posted from the day he resued the woman... interesting...

i opened the book...
wow, really the whole chunk of forum posts wor...

as i read on a few posts, this train man guy never had a gf and was posting to the forum for advises on what to wear, where to go, what to say... and there is a mass celebration of well wishing posts when the two become a couple... haha...

in the end, still didn't buy the book... :P
kinda hoping to find the forum thou... but i guess it would be in japanese...
