Marina Bay Countdown...

Is there going to be a Countdown in your city?

In Singapore, there will be the Marina Bay Countdown. There's going to be lots of fireworks. This photo was taken earlier today, at around noon. Everything seems to be ready. Waiting for the skies to turn dark.

Well, for me, I will be in church, joining the many churches in Singapore that is having the Watch Nite service thanking the Almighty for the blessings of 2007.

Have a very Blessed 2008!

Long Taxi Queue, but no one's boarding the cabs.

Just a few weeks ago, the taxi companies in Singapore raised their fares. Depending on where and when you take it, you might be paying up to 49% more. Whatever 'justification' the taxi operators are giving, many people don't buy it. I think the passengers are retaliating by taking less trips.

This photo is taken a few days ago. Many people have realized that it is now much easier to hail cabs. Taxi are lining up and there does not seem to be people taking it. Previously, it was the opposite. Long queues of people waiting, but no cabs.



What's your wish for the new year? Cheaper public transport fares? ;-)
