The Week In Retrospect...(Photo Heavy Post Part II)



Test shot of a tin of Almond Roca. Learning the 3 cardinal rules of photography...

A more sedate picture of the 3 groups.

Bartenders at..Red Dot. Walked past taking random photos, and these guys just hopped into position :)

The WP in front of the Victoria Theatre. Posing shamelessly on the front lawn :)

Mbube, first night encore.

Dessert display @ Pacific Coffee. Other pictures of logo and venue were discouraged.

I shot someone's butt. Hehe >:)


Cecil Street, next to the Tanjong Pagar MRT Station. Headed to TAPAC, Day 1, for my workshop.

TAPAC...Telok Ayer Performing Arts Centre, home to many of the arts groups of Singapore. TAS new home is located here. Initially, thought it was a school building.. but not in the way I'd imagined :)

Explaining genres...

I think we were discussing interpretation of lyrics here...

Intent faces... I hope the workshoppees (is that a word?!?!) went back with some food for thought.

First night, on the stairs. Screaming fans were ambushing the other groups. We camwhored instead :)

Paid a trip to Jurong Bird Park on Sunday. Hubby spent hours taking photos. It was a muggy day, and slightly overcast. The smell of bird poop prevailed, yet despite it all, we had a good time :) One of the inmates at the park.

This guy squated on the walkway in one of the smaller aviaries. He didn't seem to mind us infringeing on his personal space :) Cool eh??

A Lorikeet feeding from a plastic cuppie thing you can purchase at the door. It's a HUGE aviary with suspended bridges linking station to station. The drink is a mix of honey and some other vitamins, and the money goes to funding the feeding and care of these cuties. But really, how cool is it to have some brightly plumed bird sweep from a tree on the opposite end, just to drink from your hand?? :)

On the way home...


And here's something from Sam... in response to the picture I posted about the dodgy Singaporean loo... here's a Malaysian one in the newly erected CENTRO building in Klang. He was so impressed, he snapped this photo straight off :)

A Week In Retrospect...(Photo Heavy Post Part I)

Like, nobody reads this blog, I don't think :) But here're pics of my week... well, starting from the point where I got my new camera. Hubby was so sweet :) I got shtuffs!! Majorly!! Also, shamelessly asked if I could hop in (at the ELEVENTH HOUR, OKAY?!?!?!) for a song at Jazz@Southbridge... I think I embarrassed myself a little, but I can now strike that off my To-Do List... Hehehe :D

NOT in order, but with related captionizing....:D



Our lovely hosts, Alex and Angie...newlyweds (relatively!) and mushy with it :)


TAS' new home...cozy!


NANU, Angie's group... She heads up The A-Cappella Society of Singapore :)


Sculpture (The black one, not the dude in green) on Boat Quay...Quirky, eh?


A manual test shot taken with my new Sony... This was outside the City Hall MRT Station.


Celebratory supper @ Lau Pa Sat, some glam'd up mamak street for tourists, that was located near the Theatre.


A shot of my goodies. Hubby had really showered me with gifts :D


A trip to Singapore has some obligations. One is to Ben & Jerry's, bless them :) These are the seats at the outlet in VivoCity.


Da Doll had been pining for these. She'd dropped the notion after a while, but when I saw these on sale, I just had to snag them up :)


Key Elements (Singapore), SJ Tone (Korea) and The Wicked Pitches (Malaysia) in a merrily murderous mood :)


A muslim grave yard, directly across the swanky new VivoCity mall...


Here's something to ponder, in spite of the clean loo frenzy in Singapore...


I present to you...the Dodgiest Loo in Singapore!!


Our hotel, gleefully pronounced by Allan as a Fuck Shop *tm*... Me, I had no complaints (eventually)... the loo works, the rooms are clean, there's no prevalent stench in the air, breakfast was adequate, and it's actually a block away from VivoCity (we didn't find this out until Day 4). Also, there's a bus stop that connects us to most everything in Singapore just down the road a ways...


Day 5 (or was it 4?) we decided to walk to VivoCity from our hotel. That's Kampong Bharu Road, Harbourfront-bound.


The view from the Peach Garden restaurant, located in the OCBC Centre on Chulia Street, a block over from Boat Quay. Lovely view :)


While waiting @ the Harbourfront Plaza (which, incidentally, seamlessly connects to VivoCity via a walkway) for the Aeroline to depart, we shopped for gifts, and finally tried out Godiva's infamous Chocolixir... Hubby stoned out on it, as did I. It was orgasmic :)


More test shots. The ceiling of my room.


Ben & Jerry's!!! Yum!!
