Stirrings 2

Street alley stalls
Tourist bazaar fare;
Souvenirs to go

~~~~~~~~~


Seasonal fruit
A yearly dessert;
Duku escapade

~~~~~~~~~


Old colonial shophouse 
Freehold property;
Modern facelift

~~~~~~~~~


Business cycles dash
Yesterday's bubble tea;
Today's cafe glitz

~~~~~~~~~


Shopping arcade
Organized pandemonium;
Electronic extravaganza

~~~~~~~~~


Bread and toast
Shopping mall happenings;
Cafe pondering

~~~~~~~~~


Old haunts call
Flavours and tints;
Urban oasis

~~~~~~~~~


Congested roads
Peak hour traffic;
Air-con consolation

~~~~~~~~~


Morning kungu-fu dancers
Graceful as swans;
Dreamtime exhibits

~~~~~~~~~


Busy feet carve
Grassy footpath;
Shortcut route across

~~~~~~~~~


Urban renewal
Unstoppable excavations;
Traffic clutter shows

~~~~~~~~~


October heat wave
Haze for added flavour;
Smoky suffocation

~~~~~~~~~


River boat ride
Clarke Quay encounter;
Delighted tourists

~~~~~~~~~
