When I saw the Sarawak pineapple that Wuan bought from the fruit shop last weekend, I asked her to let me take a few shots of it before she cut it up. It has been a long time since I trained the Nikon D60 with the AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G on anything interesting. The Speedlight SB-600 was attached with the flash bounced off the ceiling. Despite appearing overly ripe, the pineapple was sour without any hint of sweetness. I was disappointed, especially after hearing about how sweet Sarawak pineapples could be. Nevertheless, my appetite for shooting was satiated, for the moment.

Weather-beaten lamp post at Gurney Drive.

This is one of the few remaining concrete lamp posts at Gurney Drive. It certainly has seen better days. Years of neglect and exposure to the harsh elements have peeled away the surface and exposed the reinforcement bars. I still remember how they lit up the promenade in the evenings. Sadly, unchecked erosion of the beach had toppled the others a long time ago. It is a matter of time before the sea claims this and the rest of the surviving ones as well.
