Snails, Vines, and Ominous Signs

I don't want to freak anyone out, but the snails seem to be misguided these days.

We took a post-Armageddon Singapore walk past the caged-off Family Hub.

The "Heart to God, Hand to Man" school is under repair I guess.

Deserted playground of a massive daycare.

And into the nearby jungle as we do!

There are an astounding number of things to find in Singapore's jungles!

Dark, creepy, and overgrown!

This house/building/bunker/no idea was full of stagnant water and potentially dengue. I'll let you know in a few days.

This is Barry's reaction to: "No, sorry, I have to take it again, smile!"

Mini-Barry, shown here, was more cheerful.

Here I am, inside a house, although it's hard to tell.

On the way home, we saw this sign outside of a vacant lot, so we called to say we had a great hike. Thanks Eugene!

Peacocks, Lights, Gold, and Links!

Here in Singapore, things are mostly calm.

Except for in Little India, where we had Deepavali.

The lights are truly beautiful, if always hard to photograph from the middle of the road.

The lesser-known sightings from Deepavali include peacock butts, and orange-faced religious types.

This child is hesitant about commodities investments, especially in their physical form.

Speaking of investments, there's a new condo coming up, and it's called, The Riviera, The Iviera, The Theivery?It's marketed by the Redundancy Department of Redundancy, and they're defining definitions all over again!

But the best part, and it's really great, is the logo for the construction company!

The logo is a P and an L, of course, nothing else. Although, this sculpture was on the same street. It represents a Chinese tale of a filial daughter-in-law who generously uses her breastmilk to help her ailing mother-in-law. Far less disturbing than Hansel and Gretel or The Sleeping Beauty.

But if you're looking for something lighter, how about a little Kimchi character? You never know if it's attached!

Or maybe follow this slogan: To be our I'm, Best Possible!
