Strange day

Witnessed a Coffee Bean employee putting on powder to his face and neck while taking the bus. Not talcum powder but makeup. The powder was brown in tone. Think the guy was creating a fake tan? I don't know... it was just a tad weird.
Later on... I was in the Cross Street area and there were Hong Kongers everywhere. Spent the whole afternoon resuming reading "The Time Traveler's Wife". I don't have the "gift" of time travel but I do have the ability of remembering faces. While enjoying my afternoon read, I saw a Malay father and son pair whom I've seen before at Isetan Scotts previously. I remember them very clearly because the last time I saw them... they attracted my attention because of their proud mannerisms, flashy expensive clothes and matching Oakley sunglasses. Am I a slow reader? I covered 200+pages in 4 hours.
Was raining the whole morning and afternoon so I was glad to see the rain replaced by beautiful clouds in the background. Pity I didn't have my DSLR with me because I was lugging a heavy Cisco router and switch with me.

what's so strange about Hong Kongers everywhere? As logn as they are Chinese, they are all over the world! :p

proud & flashy usually means bad credit standings! :p

200+ pages in 4 hours? That's nothing. Silver Bullet needs a year to finish 200 pages! :p

Hmmm, DSLR or Router and switch.... Tough choice :p.
Shame, it's already a nice capture, but with a DSLR it would've been just that much nicer. Still, pretty shot.
Looking forward to a trip to SG, will bring my camera. If we have time, perhaps we should go out and take a few shots?
