Where Do You Want To Go?

Where do you want to go?
It's a very touristy sign, every country has something like this, but it's a fun thing.
Everyone loves taking photographs of it!



Monte Carlo sounds like an interesting place to go.



Where on earth is St Barts?

Retrolicious in Tiong Bahru

I was walking around Tiong Bahru the other day and took a photo of this.

It's one of those retro buildings, and it's what caught by eye was the "Block Number Sign".



It reminded me of the Chinese New Year sign that people hang up all over the country now!
Don't you think so?

YourSingapore - Food Edition

Saw this at the bus stop. The Singapore Tourism Board's bus stop billboard.

The map of Singapore designed using signboards of the famous food in Singapore and a few Singapore 'origin' restaurant.



My eyes zoomed in on the most Lim Chee Guan! I suddenly wanted to have BBQ Meat slices (Bak Kwa)! It was 10:30 pm when I saw this.

What's your favourite food?

The Shopping Gallery - Hilton Singapore

I saw this and took a photo of it just because I see my name on it!
(yes, I am conceited and vain)

It's my brand, but I can't really afford the clothing and accessories from that brand!



Haiku for the day:

oh, who can resist
walking along Orchard Road
credit card screams help!

These large breed dogs must also be muzzled in public places.

This was seen at East Coast Park.

At first glance, I interpreted the top drawing as please post your dog poo because I thought that was a post box! Then I realised it was the drawing of a bin.




I wonder how they choose these 12 breeds of dogs to be 'featured' in the sign.
Most common breed of large dogs seen walking in that area?

I find it educational because I don't know the names of these dogs.
The second dog on the second row looks very cute right?

Sorry No Public Toilets Here

The security guard at this building must had been fed-up of people asking the same question probably a million times a day.



Where is your preferred place to 'relieve' yourself?

I know many ladies will go to a hotel's washroom if it's nearby. I had a chat recently with someone who works for a hotel. She and her colleagues observed that there's a person that "visit their hotel" every morning at the same time every week day!

Angels and Chocolates

Saw this at probably the biggest candy store in Singapore.

I was sitting outside the store waiting for my brother to finalize his purchase and took a snap of these words.



Would you have preferred wings or chocolates?

Instagram Photo: Saying No to No?

Saw this at Great World City and Meg from Nelson said something that 'aha' me.

There's a No and they cancelled the No.
So, this sign is saying, You can smoke, you can have pets, you can carry a camera, you can tout etc... right?



Yup, many places like to put No signs in Singapore.
Even most kids in Singapore, when you ask them anything, their standard answer is "No"!

smithankyou also said: Roller Skate / in-line skate is the correct term. Roller blade is a brand. :-)

5 Person and 1 Dog

Every now and then you see interesting or funny signs around. Goods van have to display how many people it is licensed to carry in the vehicle and the maximum speed it can travel at.



Looks like our friend here have included a 1 Dog sign as well.

Confusing Signs...

I noticed these two signs near Harbourfront MRT.

Now, which sign should I follow?
Should I turn left or go straight?

Both have the same distance to the train station.
But have wheel chair access.




Perhaps it's for redundancy planning. If one sign falls off, there's still instructions to get people to the train station.

Remember to tap in and tap out

In the beginning there was only 1 sign. The sign (on the left) that said:
Remember to tap in and tap out. Maximum fare will be charged if you forget to tap out on exit.



Then they discovered that passengers were too obedient!
They were tapping in and tapping out as asked, because the sign says maximum fares will be charged. But at the wrong timing.

Then they came out with a big NOTICE.

I will be able to Eat my favourite food again

The few of us who saw this photo, we are just wondering what is his favourite food?
Noodles?

What's your favourite food?

I will be relieved of frequent trips to the toilet

Colleagues and I saw this and smiled (or rather laughed at the way they are promoting their services).

Then we thought this might be a serious matter and not a laughing matter.
I just hope that we won't suffer from this when we get old.



But if we do get the problem, we know where to go to!

In Memory of Ben Mok - Pedal On...

I have been wanting to take this photo since last month. I finally took it yesterday. You probably have read it in the newspapers.

Ben was struck down by a drunk driver. A fine young life ended at a tender age of 35.
If you want a leave a message to the family. Visit: http://www.benmokpedalon.com/





A larger photo of this bike available here. 


A notice from the Traffic Police. This has been around for a month,  they are still appealing for witnesses.

No Studying Allowed...

Many students in Singapore will be having their exams soon.
Wherever you can find places to sit, they will be there.

One popular place that students like to gather is fast food restaurants like in this photo.


But something really looks wrong. ;-p




If you are having your exams soon, all the best!

Business as usual, we are just gardening

Such a simple notice yet it brings a smile to your face as you read it.

Superficial

Just thought this was funny.




Seen on the wall of a shoe store.

Are you an "Imelda"?  I wonder if the younger folks know what I mean by "Imelda"?
My sis used to have 60 pairs at a time! Until she decided to 'repent'. ;-p

Bicycle Parking Sign

Saw this sign the other day.
It's the first time I have seen a bicycle beside the big P.



Can you ride a bicycle? ;-p

Urine Detecting Device

No, they are not in baby diapers, but on some lifts in Singapore. I have not seen one for some time, and happen to go into one that has this sign today.



Hmm the sign seems to suggest that they will snap a photo of you, but no, they just have sensors at the lower part of the lift.

Anyone tried to activate it before? What happens? LOL...

Rocking the vending machine

This sign can be seen at most vending machines.

I wonder they put this message because someone had tried to tilt or rock the machines to get the coins in it.

It's so heavy, is it even possible to tilt it?



They sell everything in vending machines these days.
Just last week, I read that they sell bread (Gardenia bread loaves) in vending machines now!

When was the last time you bought something from any vending machine? What did u buy?
