This is a video of the chanting going on in the Buddhist temple. It's pretty cool to listen to them going on for this for easily 30 minutes. I only recorded about 1!! 
This is the little walkway in front of my boutique-y like hotel.
Why aren't there any people out and about on foot? It's like 10am or so, so not that early....
Oh I see now, it's hot. I mean HOT.
This is the huge cool Buddhist temple right near the hotel on South Bridge Road.
Lots of little fluffy clouds out and about today. Thunderstorms roll in periodically, but nothing too serious.
Every other Buddhist temple claims to have one of the Buddha's teeth. I sure hope he had a lot of them.
Upstairs, there are some gardens you can go explore.
This is one of those Buddhist things you spin and do Buddhist things for. I really should read up on this religion a little bit more.
Lots of pretty flowers up here.
Real Buddhist stairs! I feel enlightened already.
There are always lots of people in here sitting around praying or joining in in the chanting that frequently goes on.
You can buy various things for offerings to the Buddha.
I then just continued walking around the neighbourhood.
Maybe it was just because it was Monday, or still early in the day, but things were pretty dead.
Some of the buildings down here are really pretty, and in great shape.
There are always a tonne of schoolkids around.
Lots of places to stop for a beer or a mango juice, or some great Singapore food. I ate well on this trip.
More schoolchildren.
It's hot for them too.
This is some covered walkway area which houses the entrance to the local subway station.
I continued walking around to other little market areas. They're all indoors and air conditioned out the wazoo.
Traffic is generally not as a bad as Beijing, but taxis can be a real hassle to find.
I then found some large Chinese food market, with lots of extremely tempting looking food. Sadly, because of the temperature, I wasn't that hungry yet!!!
Hey, down at Orchard road, they even have a branch of DingTaiFeng, the reasonably famous Taiwan Xiaolongbao restaurant.
Orchard Road is -the- place to come for shopping.
I found some other nice places to wander around here near Chinatown.
Interestingly, this city is completely dead before 3pm, as it's simply too hot to go outside and do anything. Some places will open up for the lunch rush, but otherwise, the place takes some time to get going.
There is seriously nobody out and about here at noon.
I ended up at the local Hindu temple, right in the heart of Singapore.
This city is maybe half ethnic-Chinese, a bit less than a third Malay and then also with a good chunk of South Indians, nearly all Tamil. So, there's never a shortage of Hindu places.
This temple is really quite pretty, and has lots of fans to make the weather a bit more comfortable.
I love this picture of the rainbow in the clouds. How did I take it? I call the technique "put thine sunglasses on thine camera and see what happens".....
No Hindu temple would be complete without a lot of Hindu-like pictures.
I'm sure all these gods and statues are significant, but it was really hot out and I was nearing the end of my 20 minutes outdoors ....
