今儿有点累，就不给你们摆小人儿了。上一张个把月前在动物园拍的罢，长满青苔的栏杆。

再来一个John Travolta。 想象中是按照Pulp Fiction里面他和乌玛瑟曼跳舞的那场戏来摆的，自己觉得还算像，你们不要纠结于形式，注意体会精神，精神。

Been kind of busy for the past three days, and thus I'm kind of bored today. Been trying to play with these mannequins all day, these are what I came up with:

Remember that scene from the Matrix when Morpheus introduces Neo to the Construct? I'd like to consider this as kind of a homage.

I've never seen Saturday Night Fever myself, but I do always remember that pose that John Travolta did on the poster. He was a LOT slimmer back then.

I know Kung Fu :D

Downtown Chinatown. I find it ridiculous that a country such as Singapore, with 80% of its population being Chinese, has a Chinatown. Shouldn't it just be called "town"? Then this place is always decorated with red lanterns zigzagging above the street, just like how every Chinatown appears in all the movies. As a Chinese, I must say, folks, NO, we DON’T have lanterns in our streets all year long; NO, NOT everybody is Kung Fu fighting; and NO, NOT everybody speaks with a Cantonese accent, as often ridiculed by Russel Peters. Although you might want to see Russel Peters performing if you haven't, he's funny.

The only real differences that Chinatown has compared to the rest of the "towntown" area, are that it has an awful lot of overpriced souvenir stores, and it is mainly inhabited by Cantonese Chinese. These, together with the lanterns, really doesn't paint a picture too different from your everyday Hollywood stereotype.

今天中午又去添一点吃饭了。West Coast Shopping Mall 对面有个庙，庙门口有这么一棵树，树根长进了地砖缝里，牛逼。

新加坡的所有男性公民在十八岁左右都要服义务兵役，在这个前提下，满大街都是的类似征兵广告的东西就让人有点讶异：这不是多此一举么？这是这俩星期的征兵广告，里面阿兵哥被遮住的脸和画面中央的红字给人留下无限的想象空间。

乌节路快要圣诞的时候，人山人海啊。

I went to the Kellogg Student Ambassador event with a former colleague the other night. The event was held at a pub down at One Fullerton. The evening was just setting in, and I got this nice view over Singapore River and Clark Quay, which was Singapore's premium club & pub joint.

今天出门的时候捡到了一片落叶，千疮百孔啊！不过这些疮和孔的形状倒是都出乎意料的规则，这算鬼斧神工么？

Tron: Legacy 不好看，基本上是Tron和Matrix III 的杂交品种。剧情老套，小妞儿也长得一般，不高兴。

今天去看Tron: Legacy，下午回来继续上片。

一天一片(APAD) 之 CCCXXIX

To accommodate a more international audience (wishful thinking, maybe), I have decided to take my colleague's advice, and use English and Chinese alternatively in my blog posts. As the first of this series, this particular post would include the translated script at the bottom.

I remember a Russian photographer had a series of pictures featuring a clay doll posing on a street background. I was impressed by them, and wanted to start something similar. "Good artists borrow, great artists steal." I'm not much of an artist, but I kind of like the idea that stealing can somehow be associated with "great". And with four wooden mannequins I have acquired on my home trip in November, and a lovely Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm f2.4 bought from e-bay Slovakia, here is my first attempt at thievery.

"You're waiting for a train. A train that would take you far away." Kind of fits my current state, don't you think?

为了适应更加国际化的读者群体（可能是我自作多情了，不过嫌我装逼的你别看），我决定采用我一位同事的建议，在今后的日志里轮替使用中英两种语言。由于这是这一系列日志的第一篇，所以在上面还是发表了英文的译文。

我记得原来看过老毛子摄影师的一个专题，里面的照片基本上都是一个泥做的人偶在大街上摆出各种姿势。当时看了以后感觉印象很深，于是也想自己照着模仿一下。“天下文章一大抄”，咱玩摄影的，也不好例外，是吧。于是借着我今年十一月份从家里带来的四个木头的人体模型以及我刚刚从斯洛伐克的ebay 淘到的Carl Zeiss Flektogon 35mm f2.4，我的“小木人”系列就算正式开张啦。

“你在等一辆火车，它要带你去很远的地方。” 倒是很符合我的状态。
