I'm mildly unhappy at the moment. So I thought, a picture would probably lighten me up.



This is part of Singapore City's waterfront at night. I'm delighted to see finally see it with my own eyes. However, I was surprised to find out that this section of the city is so far inland. What was more surprising is the extent of Singapore's land reclamation projects. No wonder the Malaysian government was nervous when Singapore started to reclaim land near the Malaysian Johor - Singaporean line. If it had continued unchecked, there would probably be nothing selat about Tebrau Straits anymore.

This is an edited version since the original was too dark to be appreciated. This one is the original.



I added some contrast and a little bit of adaptive light. Not sure how adaptive light works but it sure makes the picture presentable. To me, presenting an edited photo is almost surmountable to cheating. Alas, most of my Singapore photos suck badly; I have no choice. I have to commit a sin!

Talking about sin, let's see if this Ramadan witnesses a decrease in terrorism perpetrated by Muslims. I skeptical though. I've always held that Ramadan is the month with the most hypocrites around.

p/s - ah, no wonder there is still no update on PPS. It's down. Looks like DoS attack.
