Bulb Of Tulip In Focus
Tulipmannia 2015 is here again. Flower Dome is again flooded with tulips. I love the single bulb that I captured yesterday. Most of tulips are in full blossom right now in the Gardens by the Bay. If you wish to capture more bulbs you have to wait until coming Tuesday and the following week. I was told that the Gardens changing the new batch of flowers every 10 days. The next change is on Monday night.
Yesterday, I enjoyed photographing close up of the flower showing Pistil and Stamen and other parts of flower in full. Share with you more of the images that I captured later on this site.

Kolek Racing

Kolek Racing
I captured this image of Kolek Racing of our Malay community in the sixties. Actually, the Bedok Sports Club celebrated its fourth anniversary with Kolek races as far back as in October 1957 (as reported in the Singapore Free Press). The Siglap Kolek racing was held as far back as 1939 (as reported in The Straits Times). Record shows the Malay Kolek Race started off in fine style in 1928.The Malay Kolek racing is apparently part of our heritage.

Another image capturing at the Novena Church’s congregation, was my Gold Medal Award in The 12th Malaysian Photographic Exhibition 1964. I didn’t realize that this image was captured 51 years ago. The image was also used as the cover picture of the Exhibition catalog. The Exhibition Chairman was none other than Mr. Chua Soo Bin.
