Tanjong Pagar MRT
October 13th, 2007

The rush hour at the end of the day is approaching. This moment was captured outside Tanjong Pagar MRT. It is located within Singapore’s CBD. I often used this station when I worked with Knowledge Village. The office was in South Bridge Road, Chinatown. The camera is perched on a park bench. I am perched alongside with some other people.

Looking at the video just now there is a gender imbalance. Do more men drive in Singapore? Do they work longer hours and are not yet a part of the rush hour mix? When I worked at NTU I noticed that there were fewer men than women on the buses that brought the staff to and from the campus.
Bugis MRT Singapore
October 13th, 2007

Singapore has an excellent rail network. A new train comes along every few minutes during peak hours and are still frequent at other times. Some of the stations are busier than others. I wonder what the stats are for all the stations. Anyway, one of the busier stations is Bugis. I set the camera up on a bench and let it run and this is the result as the patrons came and went.

A walk with the throng in Bugis Village
October 13th, 2007

I walked with the crowds in Bugis Village, Singapore. I held my digital still camera above my head. It created an AVI at 640 x 480 pixels and 25fps. It suffered a little from the shakes. I compressed the video down to a 320 x 240 pixels at 15fps. Gives you an idea of the tourists and locals that flock through this part of Singapore.

Captured this gent busking in Bugis Junction. A mix of media and cultures.

Victoria Street ~ Bugis Junction

One of the more busy pedestrian crossings in Singapore. One that my wife Shao Ping and I crossed many times. People often take a chance as the lights turn to green.
