Dust, Dirt and Debris ...all on chinese new year
Which are all, not a bad thing, you will soon find.
First, I should wish everyone reading this here a Happy Chinese New Year! (slightly belated)
May all goes well & smooth for everyone, especially to all the OXs, 'cos this will be a year of good luck, as the predict. Let's cheer ;)
Dust:
On the new year eve, I had decided that the world's dustiest car is not one that been thru Sahara, but those that are sitting on my glass cabinet.. So a big clean up was done.
- Clear'd 'em up and wipe it all through..
- Follow along the arrow and you see the contrast. This is how much dust they accumlated.
- Car of the year 1995...all happen'd to be in a "magazine-mega-photo-shot" pose
As i clean 'em this thought came into my mind. Cleaning 'em on the eve also symbolise clearing up all on my old bad stuff for the past year. Looking forward to a "clean spot-free" great year of rat ahead...bah!
Debris..?
Earlier was with family @ Riverside Hong Bao, on Padang/Merlion park. Happened to be near the time of the fireworks, so we settled down next to the Merlion herself to wait for the show. Just nice, got my camera with me. And thankfully for the Stabliser, still can survive without tripod.
So you can see from the images here, it started pretty well, with the first few shots (left) capturing decent fireworks. But soon it look like Laser/sparks/rockets (centre) ...and eventually my shots just look like one big explosion (last) ...Think i still need tripod. Stabliser 'got' fooled.
There's more. Fireworks was being shot from the Esplande Dr bridge, which's really near to fullerton. So as i shot, the by-product of firework + smoke all flew and landed on all of us...prompting several (included my dad) to attempt to leave the scene of landing before it ends.
Seems like this is what you call multi-sensational...'Sight', 'Hear', 'Touch' & 'Smell'...perhaps even 'Taste', for those kids/aunties looking high up and "wow" with mouth wide open.
Lesson learnt: Bring a tripod and stand far away.
Maybe...on the other hand, see-ing these sensation as some blessing might make one feel better. Just like how many gathered around the giant replica of "God of wealth" waiting to be rain'd with the golden pieces he spews out at intervals.
Dirt..!
Okay...not exactly dirt here, just the amusement i got today as we found Cat Paw prints all over our van. Apparently some meows had climbed from the side, rolled on the roof, and made a descent via the windscreen last night. Last but not least, this dish is decorated with a touch of a bird faeces on the right. How sweet, for a vehicle which was cleaned one day before.
Very interesting, for a blessing by Cat on the first night of year of Rat. Is the Cat jealous? ^-^
