INFINITY @ Ritz Carlton



Infinity is a graduation ceremony plus fashion showcase held by Raffles Design Institute. I was there to see my good friend graduate with a BA(honors) in Visual Communication. CONGRATULATION James! the whole event was quite grand but the food was disappointing. I observed that after each student has collected their awards, their parents and them would exit the ballroom and go to the hall and start gobbling down the food. I feel sad for the last guy who received his/her award as the ballroom is practically empty already as the rest had made their exit earlier on. I guess it would be fair to only allow all guest to leave after the whole ceremony has ended. Plus the food provided by the hotel (Ritz Carlton)was very little. By the time I went to grab something for myself, the trays are practically empty already. Anyway, there is nothing much after that as there is no portfolio showcase held at the hotel. The school decided to hold the showcase @ the NLB.

Around Town In 10 Hours

I wanted to go to town to take some pictures for fun and I ended up going with Nabella. She was quite enthusiastic after finding out that I have an extra camera with me dat she could use. Initially, we just wnted to go to esplanade or maybe somerset, but ended up going to city hall. This is a map of our journey. And YEAH, we ended back at city hall.
My 1st shot when we arrived at Esplanade Park. - 12.30pm
She looks happy enough! - Merlion - 12.55pm

Guess what? We went to the lobby of the hotel and asked for a map. Now, we look like tourist. - Fullerton hotel - 1.20pm
Going crazy over our own reflection - outside art house - 1.27pm
After the art house, we passed by Supreme court and walked back to city hall to go through Raffles City shopping centre. Then we headed towards Beach Road and passed by the Raffles Hotel - 1.47pm

We walked straight ahead thinking of going to Arab Street. But our dear Nabella got hungry so we headed towards bugis junction as she need to withdraw money also. - Liang Seah St - 1.56pm

So what happens when the lion gets to eat?? - Bugis Junction - 2.27pm

Its time to head towards THE SINGAPORE FLYER!! don't forget to refer to the map I showed you guys earlier on. - 3.34pm
Taking each other. - Suntec City - 3.52pm
Obsession over reflection - Somewhere between Suntec and Singapore Flyer - 3.59pm
And so we tot that we should climb this flyover so that we could take a nice pic of the SG Flyer, but we where so wrong. 1stly, this is NOT shears bridge, 2ndly the view sux and 3rdly, we found out that it was ECP. - 4.01pm-4.20pm
Obsession Over Reflection - Under ECP - 4.27pm
After that long hike up the flyover and back down, we are finally @ the SG Flyer - 4.37pm

Its a 30min ride to see Singapore, took me about 6 hours walk to see everything - Singapore Flyer - 4.51pm
And so the battery on Nabella's cam was getting flat, so we went to Esplanade library to charge it up. Her cuzzin joined us there *i dun know her name*. We waited till it was 6 to resume shooting again. It was good rest lah, Nabella was dozzing off in the library. - Outside Esplanade - 6.47pmWe where just having fun, well at least she is :) - Outside Esplanade - 7.06pm

Location - Tang Dynasty
Camera - Nikon D100
Incident - Tang Dynasty Caught On Fire
Cause Of Fire - Under Investigation

state - between the lines

I was at harbor front with my friend Kota, and I reallised there was a nice shot that i could take. I took the shot back home and played with it. Since Kota is one of the owner of "State" apparels. I combined him with the logo together and added some extra juice to it. Enjoy.
