Food.
It always has to do with food. In this case, I was looking for breakfast. I know that there was Adam Road, but I wanted something more old school, less hipster. The Malay styled Mee Goreng, as opposed to Mee Goreng Mama, was appealing to my inner needs.
So there I was, enjoying my Mee Goreng, when I realised I had my A7m2 with me. I had not taken the Minolta 28mm 2.8 A-Mount off it, so I thought why not have a go in documenting this place.
I have not actually went on the slightest walkabout in that place, Empress Road thus I would be truly seeing the area with virgin eyes.
Start.
To start my walk, there is a covered linkway from the car park to the Food Center. There is a lift serving alternate decks.
Birds.
The food center is spacious and is filled with beautiful people. As I was walking back to my plate of Mee Goreng with my drink in hand, I saw several people hovering near my table. Apparently seeing that I was confused, one of them said that the birds were already attempting to have their own Mee Goreng, at my expense. Thanking them profusely, I then proceed to enjoy my quiet, enjoyable moment.
I then start my walk. But not after noticing the brilliant blue of the sky above. Took out the camera and went on a spray and pray spree. It felt wonderful.
Since its nearing Singapore National Day in a few days time, many household has taken to flying the national flag.
14th Floor.
Not contented in just being on sea level, I decided to go up to the 14th floor. Of course, I am in half a mind to just go to the car and drive back home. But I did go up and I was very surprised.
Ground level.
Took some pictures too at ground level. This looks like a sleepy neighbourhood, with activities by the people staying there moving twice as slow. Not that I am complaining, in fact I find it refreshing, If you look at the map, Empress Road is as central as central could be. Its bordered by Bukit Timah and Holland Road. A very prime location.
The End is just the beginning..
I hope to come here again, next time with a wider lens.
Pictures and EXIF data can also be found here.
More pictures using the Minolta 28mm 2.8 AF can be found here.
In the meantime, keep on shooting.
