Flagged down this interesting looking 'uncle' while walking through the crowded bylanes off Arab Street. "Uncle photo can ??" , I asked him in my toota-phoota Singlish. Uncle was in mood of granting favours. He stopped his bicycle driven cart & gave me a brooding pose. I had to snap him quickly cause this impromptu photo shoot was happening right in middle of a moderately busy road. He was ferrying discarded cardboard boxes & other recycleable stuff, which i guess he collects after scavenging the neighbourhood. Grim life, but he sure knows how to jazz it up. Some headgear that eh ?

your singlish makes me feel muchos better abt my nihongo. I go "shasin toritai, ii desuka?" ( I wanna take a pic , is it ok) and go arigato when they say yes.
Thank heavens I am not in the Jappu land. By the time I had finished mouthing the elaborate Japanese lines, the subject would be half a mile across the town!
I wish i could be little more relaxed while taking portraits. I was so anxious not to hold up the traffic n the poor guy for too long *sigh*
Thanx for Ur comment Billy..
