May also be used to describe the feeling of being dazed.From Talking Cock: Singapore - English DictionaryI dropped my 18-55 lens on the Hostel floor at the Betelbox yesterday, blurry from an afternoon nap. The glass filter I'd bought this Monday shattered inside the lens cap, a very worrying sound.

    { Singapore - December 2011 } Singapore may be in the tropics, and the weather is hot and humid with lots of rain, but that does not stop this tiny red dot from going all out with Christmas decorations. You just need to take a walk down Orchard Road to soak in the atmosphere. There are so many beautifully decorated trees along the festive road, that I lost count after awhile. Love how each of them are so different, and yet unmistakably Christmassy!
