Terrible 2

So check this out.

We had such a HORRENDOUS time trying to find an angle to shoot U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney's plane, the Air Force Two aircraft making an emergency landing in Singapore last weekend at Paya Lebar Military Airbase. Yes. It's almost impossible except that we found the highest HDB point and actually asked a nice man to let us in his home so that we could get a view of the plane landing over the skyline of Singapore. Unfortunately we were all played out by the Ambassy. The plane landed much earlier than it was "supposed" to do so, which landed us with this pathetic view which I got standing on the roof of my Jimny, like a whole mile away from the plane. Funny how the tail fin of Air Force Two sits framed by the palm trees so perfectly. I almost thought that the Ambassy got us again by putting a cardboard picture of the tail fin just to make a point?!

Just as I thought all these stake outs and bad PR planning was over, we were hit by another last minute announcement of the largest Ocean Liner in the world arriving in Singapore early Saturday. After many rounds of telephone calls leave me very very very disappointed by many different points of contacts who gave really bad excuses about not letting the foreign media in to cover this historic event. They claimed that called the local press but guess what? Straits Times didn't even know about this. Which resulted in me having to look at google earth again, just to find out what the best point of view is or is available for perhaps catching a glimps of her. Thanks to a PR guy that actually knows his job scope, Republic of Singapore Yacht Club let me and reuters into their mooring decks so that i can see Queen Mary 2 leave Singapore. Unfortunately she left 2 hours later than skedded, leaving behind no sunlight for any form of decent photography, but this. My caption for this? A maritime authority of singapore boat makes its way into Singapore's container port while passing Queen Mary 2 in the background which is berthed in the city-state for a one day stop enroute to KL port klang.

Why do all these lousy jobs come in pairs?!

I say better 2 than 3.
