When I was younger, I used to visit the temple on Waterloo Street with my family. Even through my boredom, I could see that a lot of the worshippers from the Buddhist temple would then pray in front of the Hindu temple next door. It was only years later that I learnt that this cross-worshipping between the two temples is a practice unique to the religious architecture of Waterloo, forged over a 140 years of co-existence. Sri Krishnan temple also has a statue of Guan Yin, dressed in traditional Indian garments and draped with fresh flower garlands. In the 1970s, a Waterloo chicken rice store donated a thousand-dollar urn for the joss sticks in the front Sri Krishnan's doorway.
Waterloo, never change.

Nikkei is a Singaporean illustrator and designer, who enjoys drawing things that are silly, sexy, fantastical, intense or weird - as long as they feel like a punch to the face or the heart. This includes untameable hair, decorative borders and dogs committing crimes. They are a firm believer in doing whatever they want (in the meantime, whether this is working out for them is still pending.)
