I really like this picture. I took it in the Hort Hub, a public garden in Singapore. It is backlit, but the colors are still vibrant. It was a happy day.

This was parked in the town of Kuah in Langkawi. I really dig this car with its dolce vita stylings. Even though it is a French car.

Loggia of Mystery at the Singapore Parliment. Can you make it to the end?

The symbolism of this is obvious. The worship your robot masters is a process best when the adherents are young.

I love this home made Batmobile. It was parked in a courtyard for a costume and party wear store. If Batman (the Tim Burton version) was in claymation film, this is how the Batmobile might have looked like.

Sexy graphics in Haji Lane, Singapore. This is the new hip neighborhood. Filled with shops and restaurants. I liked it, but I'd like it better if they only allowed foot traffic. The narrow lane is a tight fit for most compacts.

How is a six star hotel different from a five star hotel? What makes it so special? This is St. Regis, a new six star hotel in Singapore. I like the look of it, but I really want to know the difference between the stars in the hotel rating systems

Awesome houses on cement stilts in Langkawi, Malaysia. I like this picture because of the composition. Too bad I didn't stay here on my visit in Langkawi. Sniff.

Back from vacation

I just got back from a great vacation in Singapore. It was very nice to catch up with family and friends. I will be putting up some new flickr pictures. Look for those soon.

Television that needs to be watched. Word.

Election season is upon the United States again and if you curious about what ails American society. There is no better sociological study of American society than "The Wire". "The Wire" is a gripping television drama on HBO that tells the story of Baltimore's inhabitants, from drug dealers to cops and everyone connected. A brilliant but damning indictment of failure of social institutions such as the schools, the unions and the government.
Crime, drug trafficking, corruption and general societal breakdown. These problems are endemic in Baltimore.But they plague all major cities in the US. The show is not bias towards the good guys, nor is it apologetic to the drug dealers either. It tells it like it is. There are smart dealers and dumb cops. Humane criminals and greedy politicians. No one is spared and everyone is drawn in shades of gray and the major characters that appear in all five seasons have character developments to kill for. But I love all the broken flawed people in the show since they are believable and real. Do yourself a favor and check out the show. Season one to four are on DVD. If you hate television and want something that challenges your mind. Go watch. Now.

First!

This is my first post. I am planning to put up cartoons, pictures and general thoughts. I want to use the blog as a platform to create something for myself. I get restless and bored too easily. So I thought I might as well create something. I think it was Connie Willis, a fantastic science fiction writer, who said that if you are stuck for inspiration, write about something that you are angry about. So there will be occasional, alright, frequent rants. More soon!
