A cool and friendly uncle waving at me.

To celebrate SG60, I set out to capture the soul of Singapore through its everyday faces — quiet, unposed, and deeply human. Whether it’s the humble joy of receiving $1.50 ice cream, two friends sharing shelter in a downpour, or an elderly fisherman preparing his line at dawn, each portrait reflects the unseen poetry of daily life. These moments, often overlooked, reveal the resilience, warmth, and rhythms that shape who we are — a nation built not just by milestones, but by the faces we pass every day.

"Resilience" working uncle on the street of chinatown. Some how i quite often see in my own country. An local uncle leaving on a 1st world country, still continue the hussle of his craft. We may not know what circumstance he's in to. But the fact he continues this in his advance age is remarkable for me. This just tells me, that purpose does not outgrow us. You could be young or old, but why are we doing things everyday, why we keep on hustling? Living isn't cheap, we are paying for the better future, not for ourselves but for the generation to come.

Hands at work, heart in tradition — bringing the Nonya costume to life
Eat, Pray, Love: A Singapore Story. In a city that never stops moving, sometimes the quiet moments tell the most powerful stories. Eat, Pray, Love is a visual journey through Singapore’s heart, told through three intimate portraits that capture the soul of our nation as we celebrate SG60. Eat – At the bustling Tekka Market, a fish seller deftly packs up the day’s catch for a customer. His work is not just trade – it is tradition. Generations before him have stood here, among the sounds of cleavers and bargaining aunties, offering the sea’s bounty to kitchens across the island. In his calloused hands, we taste the multicultural richness of Singapore’s table, where food is more than sustenance; it’s heritage, memory, and a bridge across generations. Pray – In a quiet corner near Selegie, a man lifts his head in silent devotion to the sun. Amid the swirl of urban life, his stillness becomes a sanctuary. This image is not just about religion, but reverence — for tradition, for peace, and for the invisible threads that hold communities together. Singapore’s spiritual mosaic, amid the city's ever-climbing skyline, remains rooted in the lives of everyday people. Love – Under the electric glow of the Singapore Night Festival, a child’s face lights up with wonder. Eyes wide, heart open, they gaze at the magic unfolding around them. In that moment, we see love in its purest form — curiosity, joy, and the promise of tomorrow. Together, these three vignettes form a quiet anthem to the nation – not in grand gestures, but in daily rituals. Through the eyes of a fish seller, a man in prayer, and a child discovering light, we see the faces of Singapore – hardworking, devout, and full of wonder – living stories that have shaped 60 years of a shared dream.

This photo was taken exactly on Vesak day itself. Was walking around for birding when I notice the early morning ray hitting the man mediating , not influence at all by the surrounding people and rooster walking infront of him.
The photo of this young girl covered in colours was taken during the Holi Mela Festival of Colours event in Tanjong Rhu on 15 March 2025. It was so pleasant seeing her smile as she watches those around her covered in colours too.
