Black Knights, tennis
Saturday, August 2, 2008
I was beginning to miss the scenery we were treated to everyday at Lagoon View, whether or not we choose to admire the panoramic east coast park and it's russet sunsets. The glows would radiate the granite floors in the evenings, and much more could be said about the sea-salty breezes.
Here, the adjacent block to our then apartment, basking in the amber sunset. This was taken by Joseph some years ago.
But with every change, comes its little rewards. Right now I may not have a breeze in my room, the warm air hangs and I cringe in the uncomfortable warmth. But the rooftop offers a picturesque cityscape as dusk draws closer.
Prior to leaving for dinner, Joseph and I headed upstairs, hearing the droning of helicopters in the distance, and a brief roar of the F16 after burners. The Apaches had gone by for the flypast, but they were a tad too tiny for a good photograph, so Joseph had taken this view. Wasn't shortly after that the smokey trail of the Black Knights streaked the horizon, performing several stunts that the Ixus 75 took stunningly.
It's more like something I'd expect out of a 60 floor rooftop within town.
Looks like a pair of angel wings, look at those symmetrical downward spirals. Wonder what it must've felt like inside the cockpit.
The initial stunts for this at the practice while I saw it in Good News Cafe at TPJC during PAE had an F16 blazing an arrow through the heart, but subsequently when I went for the aerospace thingy, and the ndp rehearsals, the arrow was absent. Maybe it was a safety hazard.
The fan spread, I got a good one this time instead of the matt grey skies at the aerospace show. Though the fan isn't exactly symmetrical..
In all, the scenery trade was better I think. A change though, from the blue waters off Singapore to the urban landscape.. The following was from Wednesday's last tennis training in school, had to cover some photos for the school's newsletter, and took some shots for our coach.
Danny and Su An, the former in my chinese class. I pity him since I always sit next to him during class and distract him from the lesson with jokes :D
