These used to be my playground

My friend Layyen painted this which just brought back so much memories. Sadly most of this will be demolished to make way for other more purposeful uses. How much of your childhood places are still around in Singapore. Why are they special to you?

Graffiti or Art?


I think this is highly creative work and shows that Singaporean can laugh at ourselves.
Also the mantra "Do first, apologise later".   Thinking about it, "Grandfather road" can help to bring an interesting awareness program on reckless driving....  but then... SG leh... Cannot try more radical approach if u are not a ART Superstar like Damien Hirst. Come on... lighten up.
We have a long way to go to learn appreciate humor and art. FYI what is happening.
Found this on Facebook..

Drawing with GPS

This is an awesome community project by Tokyo GPS cycling folks. It is called Tokyo Zoo project. The idea is to use GPS coordinates/waypoints to draw out animal images. To get the community going, they tweet to get feedback on which animal to draw. Then a group of volunteers will draw out (analogue style) and key in the waypoints for the animal diagram. This map coordinates is passed to cycling groups to "trace out" What I love about this effort is the level of community spirit and participation. I am very tempted to do a Merlion to start off... would you help me? I need artists, map guys and helpers...send me a PM if you like to make this happen in Singapore. Thanks!
