Distance Fare Scheme for Singapore Public Transport

Today I saw a news reported in Mypaper where it mentioned if we transfer (From MRT <> MRT / MRT <> Bus) within 45 Minutes, then its consider as 1 journey thus the fare will accumulated.

Total travel time must be made within 2 hours of the first boarding.

More information: http://www.transitlink.com.sg/

To qualify for a valid transfer, please ensure that your transfer is made within the allowed time : From MRT/LRT to bus, bus to bus, or bus to MRT/LRT, you must transfer to the next service within 45 minutes of exit from MRT/LRT gate or from tapping the card on the bus exit card-reader.

i-City 灯光城 @ Shah Alam @ 21st March 2011 - LX5

在这次回大马的时候，有机会再度回到i-city里拍拍...

在这里拍摄其实有点难度。因为这里都是靠LED来发光，所以周围是黑漆漆的。在这种情况下，就无法使用相机的曝光模式。只好用手动模式-M mode... 然后由于没有闪光灯，如果要拍人的话，只好”借光“。 哈LX5的表现，没有让我失望。顺便一提，基于这里的灯光很复杂，我觉得最好不要使用Auto white balance。

在这里分享几张那天拍的照片。

Texas Chicken 炸鸡

某天不知道要吃什么，就看到了Texas Chicken的广告，卖相看起来不错就去尝试尝试了。

点了这个$5.90 promotion的炸鸡...一个鸡腿（只是能要鸡腿/鸡翼）然后两个鸡肉块，及一个松脆的饼干（ http://www.texaschicken.com.sg/promotions.html#1 ）

另外，我也点了一个薯泥来吃吃。感觉上还不错，不过觉得它的original口味比较好吃，反而spicy的话我还是比较喜欢KFC的。它的薯泥和KFC的差不多，薯泥的话我觉得popeye的就真的很好吃。这个Texas炸鸡的饼干就让我觉得最好吃的，饼干还是热的及带有很香的牛油味道。好吃好吃，不过建议只是吃一块就够了，不然会很腻～  这个promotion的分量看起来不多，不过我还吃的满饱下的。呵呵...

promotion的配套

薯泥，不够热 -_-

好好吃的饼干！！

original的好吃

Chee Jean and Pea Fun Wedding @ 20th March 2011

在新加坡不知不觉已经工作了将近3个月。来到这里工作后，就少了见到朋友们的机会。最可惜的是无法参与朋友们的婚礼。之前由于无法拿到假期，参加不到wahwai的婚礼，觉得很遗憾下。这次幸亏我休息的时间配合到chee jean的婚礼，就兴致勃勃的赶回KL参加他们的婚礼。趁机尝试下刚刚买的LX5,拍拍照片，留留纪念。哈

 

 

Singapore << >> Kuala Lumpur

At this moment I am searching for information to travel between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur via public transport. Nowadays, most of the peoples choose to take flight if able to get a low air fares. However, if want to take bus or train, can refer to the information below:

Train (KTMB)

To book online: https://intranet.ktmb.com.my/e-ticket/

If depart from Singapore to KL, the fare is in SGD. Therefore, it is recommended to depart from Johor (JB Sentral). JB Sentral is connected to both the CIQ and City Square by pedestrian overhead bridges. 

How to go Woodland Checkpoints?

In between Woodland Interchange <> JB Sentral, can take 950

In between Woodland Interchange <> Tampines, can take 168 / 969 

In between Woodland Checkpoints <> Bugis Queen Street (walking distance to Bugis MRT), can take CW2 / 170 / SJE. (Recommend to take CW2 as it directly go to Bugis Queen Street)

...FRIM Macro (Fail) Photo session @ 26th June 2010...

Macro, something I not really try before. At 26th of June 2010, some of my friends went to FRIM for some macro session. Since I am quite near and there are sometimes I not taking any photos, I decided to join them to have some fun.

However, the lens I bought not really suitable for Macro as it is a Wide Angle lens. Perhaps my skill not good enough also. However, learn something from this photography outing.
- Flash is essential to obtain sharp photo.
- A good diffuser is important so the flash do not give some unnatural light.
- We need to use small aperture(big F) to obtain sharp photo, thus Flash is important as your shutter speed will goes down when you use F11.
- Sometime is better to use Manual mode in Flash to obtain most natural result.
- In order to shoot Macro, you needs to have very Sharp eye too as those tiny creature hide well.

Here are some photos taken in that day...
