Pesgrave Place Sign for Sign 2

 

A little wild. 

The rainy monsoon season is too much for me here. Trying to sort out Mum's family affairs is not exactly easy either. 

At various government departments today, most public servants I met tried to encourage me to move money back into the country etc. I don't even have any income here and barely spend time at all. why would I want to do that?

Zebra like Bands for Sign2

 

This is a sign near an entrance of a carpark. A style similar to minimalism approach. Lots of puke and piss at the bottom of the wall. Smells really bad.

I spotted a YouTube video on Alice Spring in Australia. The place has done to the dogs. Really sad. I used to work there in the local hospital.

The world is oval, a friend tells me that.

H.M. Sign in Melbourne Bourke St for Sign2

 

This is the spot to do people photography. The building is a good location at night for floor reflection. But this is where most of murders and killings take place over the years in Melbourne CBD.

Utility Box Sign for Sign 2

 

On the weekend before Joel taking on his trip to Saphire Coast in NSW, he took me to Mensho Ramen Tokyo

This lotus contains 4 smaller symbols that seem to reflect some sort of folklore tales. 

The ramen was delicious but we both waited at the door for 1 hour ahead of the queue. 

Chicken bone stock with Pork Bone stew.

Joel had a craving for Uncle Tetsu Souffle in city. So we took a stroll in this alley for snapping something.

Penny Weight Walk Mural in Bendigo for Mural Monday

 

I know this is done by a local artist who is quite well known in Bendigo. I just cannot remember his name any more.

Infrared State Library Crowd for Sunday Best

 

The camera modification is having a low pass filter removed with the sensor primed for n520 wavelength. 

The result is that it should not be used for landscape lol. It does create a good look for people and candid though (at least to my naked eyes). 

Joel is not a fan of candid photography. So I took my stroll in CBD this week. It is not a reliable tool but it can get some nice tones.

Westpac Bank Sign for Sign2

 

In one of the nights out in CBD, I like how the sign was lit up revealing the pedestrian's face.

Portrait for Mural Monday

 

This wall mural is inside a corridor in a building off Russell Street Melbourne.

I spotted a chap coming out of a Chinese eatery, who bought some take away. He was yelling at all the Asians coming into the store "Get some real food!". That really made my day.

Ishizuka Melbourne Cuisine for Randomosity

 

Expensive meal for Joel's Birthday. We were still hungry afterwards, so we went to a dumpling alley. 

I realised the photos would be buried in my hard drive forever after the occasion. I might as well post them here like a diary.

Old China Town eatery for Treasure Tuesday

 

I was taking a stroll last weekend. After a nice dining for Joel's Birthday. I came across this old building again. In university days, I ate there a lot. The food quality declined badly over the years. The cook added rice powder to all the dumplings before they get fried. Cinnamon is also added to the stuffing. It is just not the same anymore.

Mount Dandenong Tea Room for Treasure Tuesday

 

This is a tearoom that mum and I came to try in a cold winter day. 

The place was ambient until the kids came rushing into the door.

Bendigo Stupa of Universal Compassion for Treasure Tuesday

 

This stupa is so close to my Bendigo home. It is free. It is always quite peaceful to walk in its gardens. The biggest emerald jade Buddha in southern hemisphere is located in this stupa (how many countries are there in southern hemisphere anyway?).
