Pictures with the camera

I spent this morning taking pictures with the camera, and testing out the macro mode with the flowers in my balcony. I particularly like this picture (this and all subsequent pictures are resized to 36% of original size to be more browser-friendly):

In the afternoon, I went on a drive with my father, my aunt and my cousin, and that was yet another opportunity to take more pictures, of course!

On our drive, we went to the Upper Seletar Reservoir, and that was my first-ever time there. There were a lot of monkeys, but somehow I missed taking pictures of them... I was able to take a few pictures of the reservoir area though.

And, of course, no picture-taking expedition would be complete without a cat. ^^

We also went to Yio Chu Kang and Jalan Kayu, and it was really quite surprising for my aunt and cousin to see how much the area had changed since they'd last been there, as they left Singapore in 1987. It seemed so modern and completely different, although some elements of the past were still there, such as some of the shops, and some of the houses around the West Camp area.

I wonder... how much of what we saw today will still be there in 2 years' time? Especially since I'm leaving soon too...
