OK... I managed to finally find the time to do this.
The front drive of my condo... notice the wife walking ahead and getting annoyed that I have stopped to take a photo.

The cross walk to get to the bus stop
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115109671521548626"><img src="http://lh6.google.com/StevenMurphy001/RvyFJS40-VI/AAAAAAAAA7E/w_QkpnxhugI/s800/IMG_0425.JPG" /></a>
The bus stop where I wait... and wait.
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115111754580687794"><img src="http://lh3.google.com/StevenMurphy001/RvyHCi40-7I/AAAAAAAABFE/vFHOmlvKpSc/s800/IMG_0463.JPG" /></a>
The traffic cometh...
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115109727356123490"><img src="http://lh3.google.com/StevenMurphy001/RvyFMi40-WI/AAAAAAAAA7M/2UwQFKsRdX0/s800/IMG_0426.JPG" /></a>
On the bus... Bukit Timah Road. The green is so different from Toronto
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115109787485665650"><img src="http://lh5.google.com/StevenMurphy001/RvyFQC40-XI/AAAAAAAABIY/w_wm0HpVKi8/s800/IMG_0427.JPG" /></a>
We have seatbelt laws but they don't count when you are ferrying cheap labour to a job site. This is not an uncommon sight.
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115109881974946194"><img src="http://lh3.google.com/StevenMurphy001/RvyFVi40-ZI/AAAAAAAABIg/XBTG_u1Ug4w/s800/IMG_0429.JPG" /></a>
Going around Newton Circus. The orange things are air ducts for the Newton MRT (subway).

On Orchard Road, we go under the gantry for the ERP (toll road) and can see the construction of a new mall and condo on Orchard Turn.
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115110294291806738"><img src="http://lh3.google.com/StevenMurphy001/RvyFti40-hI/AAAAAAAABI8/N8_wsPoBjA0/s800/IMG_0437.JPG" /></a>
Still on Orchard Road, Ngee Ann City, better known as Takishimaya after the anchor department store of this mall (yes, it's a mall... not much else on Orchard but malls)
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115110616414354018"><img src="http://lh6.google.com/StevenMurphy001/RvyGAS40-mI/AAAAAAAABJQ/P7VJykut6l4/s800/IMG_0442.JPG" /></a>
Now on Bras Basah... a Catholic Church and some Cabs...
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115110882702326450"><img src="http://lh4.google.com/StevenMurphy001/RvyGPy40-rI/AAAAAAAABJk/dRaKijmSPzs/s800/IMG_0447.JPG" /></a>
Getting closer to my destination... the war memorial for all the people killed during the Japanese occupation, new MRT construction in the foreground and the Central Business District in the background.
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115110985781541586"><img src="http://lh4.google.com/StevenMurphy001/RvyGVy40-tI/AAAAAAAABJs/C99p5RuTp1k/s800/IMG_0449.JPG" /></a>
Off the bus and the new Singapore Flyer looms.
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115111033026181858"><img src="http://lh3.google.com/StevenMurphy001/RvyGYi40-uI/AAAAAAAABJw/yg5J9YinFyY/s800/IMG_0450.JPG" /></a>
A shortcut through Millennia Walk (a mall).
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115111144695331586"><img src="http://lh5.google.com/StevenMurphy001/RvyGfC40-wI/AAAAAAAABJ4/dnlEIOcwsMc/s800/IMG_0452.JPG" /></a>
and out the other side of the mall and looking up at Suntec Tower Four
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115111252069514018"><img src="http://lh6.google.com/StevenMurphy001/RvyGlS40-yI/AAAAAAAABKA/bJfJkfA-E7U/s800/IMG_0454.JPG" /></a>
Walking underground around the base of the world's largest fountain (really) up at Suntec Tw0
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115111355148729154"><img src="http://lh6.google.com/StevenMurphy001/RvyGrS40-0I/AAAAAAAABKE/O9wsdHrWMtQ/s800/IMG_0456.JPG" /></a>
Through the mall... yes, we have McDonald's
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115111410983304018"><img src="http://lh3.google.com/StevenMurphy001/RvyGui40-1I/AAAAAAAAA_U/3m0VB3HUNEM/s800/IMG_0457.JPG" /></a>
Up the escalator, the atrium of Suntec Two looms...
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115111462522911586"><img src="http://lh3.google.com/StevenMurphy001/RvyGxi40-2I/AAAAAAAABKQ/Yk_o1JXQXSM/s800/IMG_0458.JPG" /></a>
... a short elevator ride and you are there.
