The Calling

In life we encounter so many paths, so many obstacles.
Which path do we take?

Away From Home

Hi everyone, I will be away in Cambodia from tomorrow onwards, from 1 to 11 September. I will still be contact-able by phone or sms, but it will cost quite a bit, so only contact me should there be a calamity. I will definitely miss this sunny island, my dear home. More details of my [...]

OKTO

Its ok to take a break, and its ok to talk a lot.

But what is this?

National Day Parade Preview

I received a single free ticket from Nan Hua for Saturday’s NDP Preview, so I rushed over with the flock of stampeding people to the Marina Bay Floating Platform.

Bukit Timah Primary School Open House 2008

With the theme of “Olympics with Fun”, Bukit Timah Primary School had their annual fun day and open house today. I was invited to have a short visit by Xin Ting, so I decided to lug out the black metal and glass.

Bukit Timah Primary School
This year’s highlights included a school tour, innovation and enterprise retail, [...]

The Joy of Giving

It was yet another 24 hours for others, but to me I guess it was a special day. Despite all the sleep loss I’ve gotten these past few days, 12 July was special and I had to wake up early.
It was a day of giving. Literally. I was in the town area looking for a [...]

SIT Flats

SIT Flats @ Tiong Bahru
Bounded by Seng Poh Road, Outram Road and Tiong Poh Road, the area was given conservation status on 1 December 2003. It is the first public housing estate in Singapore and comprises 20 blocks of 2- to 5-storey pre-war public housing flats built by the Singapore Improvement Trust (SIT)in the 1930s. [...]

The Black Knights

Love is in the air
The Black Knights is the official aerobatics team of the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) featuring six F-16C Fighting Falcons in formation flight.

Nan Hua Alumni Room

Titled “Bai Nian Shu Ren”, a new mural is being painted on the Nan Hua Alumni Room, bringing back memories of the older mural located in the previous school campus.

Capriccio XXIV

Hwa Chong Institution held its annual midyear concert, Capriccio, at the Victoria Concert Hall today. Just as the name of the concert suggests, the music by the band was indeed grotesque, playful and fantastic.

I was seated at a rather odd location for photography, but I guess I managed to snap a few shots just [...]

Balek Kampong – Surau Kampong Lorong Buangkok

Singapore has always been well known as the urban jungle, but little known to others, kampongs still exist. Surau Kampong Lorong Buangkok is the last kampong around, housing a total of 20 families.

Front Gate of the land
I was looking for a suitable location for my documentary production, and decided to drop by this 12,248 [...]

World of De-saturation

You’ve seen all my nicely saturated photographs time and time again, but here’s something new for a start. Photographs that I made myself, by hand.

Can’t stand the noise

My first test strip

Oh that’s my first test strip from photojournalism class. The strip is divided into three portions, each exposed to a different amount of light. From left, a 30sec, 20sec, 10sec exposure.
I used the photographic enlarger, a machine used to create prints on photographic paper, to make the above print. (I do hope to get [...]

Incomplete Failure

Film doesnt like me. Well at least not for today.

Things screwed up for a very important recorded video today, and even my very first roll of film. The first roll of film screwed because I rewound the canister with too much force. Nevertheless, I’ve learnt my lesson – the not so hard way.

Fe2 @ ECP

It wasn’t a chemical spill at East Coast Park. Instead, it was something that needed learning. Something metallic yet powerful. It was the Nikon FE2. XJ and I took turns to have a go at the film SLR, using the Kodak Professional T-Max 100 Black and White Negative Film.
As such, you won’t be seeing [...]
