Mass Rapid Transit, Singapore
Posted by: tanweemin in Photography, tags: mrt, Photography, photowalk, singaporeGood news and bad news! The good news is my D60 was taken this morning by Brenten (a camera Export Manager). Credit to Shirley who helped me out for spreading the news. While the bad news is my D60 was taken. Ya, you didn’t get it wrong… I was a bit sad that my D60 is no longer with me as it was my first DSLR who accompanied me for 3 months. Although time is short, it has shot every beautiful memories I got.. brought my photography skills to the next level.. and produced all the stunning images.. Goodbye, my dear friend. May you find a wonderful owner… (sounds a bit dramatic.. haha)
I’ve been quite busy lately walking around Funan and Peninsular Plaza. almost everyday.. for gadget and camera shopping. Now that I’ve finished all the shopping, a big thanks to MRT, which never complains bringing me to and fro…
Ya, it’s the backbone of public transport system in Singapore. Mass Rapid Transit, or more commonly known as MRT is the best and most convenient transport to bring you around Singapore. People rely them for work, shopping, touring and schooling… Guess what people normally do in the train? Here they are:
These will be the daily scenario in a MRT. Some were too busy with their PSP, game console, some were shaking while listening to their iPod, some kept playing with their phone.. while some just couldn’t stop talking.. gossiping.. sleeping with mouth widely open and very often some were daydreaming.. in deep thoughts.. and me? Busy shooting their emotions on board. Sometimes you may find some unsensored scenes.. teenagers hugging, kissing like nobody’s business. I was wondering, should they be so dramatic? Or they watched too “much” Korean Drama..
Beeping and blinking warning red lights indicates that the doors are closing within seconds. Time is precious. If you miss the train, you’ll have to wait for approx 4-6min for the next trip. Some people just couldn’t wait. Thus, it is very common to see people running towards the closing doors.
Besides, you should always try to avoid boarding the MRT during peak hours. Or you’ll be squeezed like a sandwich. The photo below is the scenario taken at 7.30pm. People squeezing in and out. FYI, the crowd below is considered a moderate one.
Well, here is the results of my MRT photowalk. This is Jason reporting from Singapore. Haha.. sounds like a photojournalist. Tonight, I’ll back to my old hometown for the weekend.. and very soon I’ll be broadcasting from Johor Bahru (Malaysia). Stay tuned!
