If you ask any Singaporean, the most likely response you will get is "Singapore is too small, too boring. There isn't anywhere to go anymore!" I used to think so too until I decided to look at the small things through my analogue cameras and rediscover some of the things just "hiding" from plain sight.
I was out with my two cameras, Diana F+ and Smena 8M, and while waiting for the take-away to be ready, I took a stroll around the area.
Sembawang is located near the northern tip of sunny island Singapore. It’s one of the new towns with housings with high-rise flats being the most common form of housing here in Singapore.

With all the high-rise buildings towering over us, it’s hard to notice the sky, clouds and the beauty of little things around us.
If you take a stroll from the Sembawang Shopping Centre, it’s not hard to notice these beauties.
