Earlier this Wednesday, I headed for yet another of The Original Singapore Walks: Dhobis, Saris & a Spot of Curry.

A rare image of a pangolin at Bukit Brown
Lo! A walking pinecone! This sunda pangolin was spotted recently at the Bukit Brown cemetery by a frequent visitor Konamoto Dominic. You’d be forgiven in thinking that this animal is out of this world – in reality, they are native to Southeast Asia, sightings of them are very rare. Although their scales make them look [...]

This is one place still relatively unexplored by most Singaporeans. If any FOY would like to organise a trail to Little India, I would be happy to sign up!

Ok I doubt if this idea would take off cos it needs a bit of time and effort. But here goes:
1) Suppose Yesterday.SG starts a “Colours of Little India” meme, where people go to Little India and capture in photos the colours — Red, Blue, Yellow and then the other secondary colours.
2) Submit to Yesterday.SG on a monthly basis
I thought it could be a way to encourage Singaporeans to explore Little India. I think Little India is where there’s lots of stuff in colours in its authentic forms.

Nice idea. How do we start on the meme? I think I would have quite a lot of browns. I took some pictures of the food and the curry.

Meme idea has been floated to FOYers and currently being discussed. I suppose we have to (1) develop a few simple guidelines on what the meme is about, how to participate, then (2) spread the word either via this blog or request the museums to pass the word around. I think details are coming up and should be posted soon.
