The Dress at SAM


This illuminated big dress which was more than 2m tall was exhibited at the Singapore Art Museum. It had a scary vibe to it, including the background music which contributed to the eeriness.

See

  • Dress
  • Dark place
  • Blue colours


Think

  • I think that with just an ordinary dress, changing some factors of it (size of dress, lighting, background music) would change the atmosphere and mood of it 


Wonder

  • I wonder if anyone else other than me was spooked by it
  • I wonder would it still be scary if they changed the dress to something else, like for example a huge chair, a huge mirror etc.

Tree Top Walk


I went for a hike at Macritchie and went to the Tree Top Walk. I hiked for more than 10km but I think that it was worth it, considering that I was afraid of heights but I managed to overcome it.

See

  • Trees
  • Forest
  • Railings
  • A long bridge suspended in the air from one end to the other


Think

  • I think that attractions like these makes people want to hike
  • I think that the railings on the bridge looks like a snake


Wonder

  • I wonder if bridge breaks midway, what would happen?
  • I wonder if I was there alone, with no friends as a source of motivation, would I give up halfway?

Gardens By The Bay


At around 7-8pm there is a light show at Gardens By The Bay and I was there a few days back to witness it.


See

  • Gardens By The Bay
  • Lights
  • Red and blue lights
  • People walking and sitting around
  • Marina Bay Sands in the background


Think

  • I think that this a great way to attract more tourists and people to visit Gardens By The Bay
  • I think that the location of this place is good as it is just opposite MBS, it would be easier to attract more tourists


Wonder

  • I wonder if there were only lights and no music, (vice versa) would people still come to watch it?
  • I wonder if people are really entertained by this
  • I wonder if people would pay to watch this (for now it is free)
  • I wonder if the structure of the pic above is different (for example maybe if it looked like a water bottle, a stick, a random shape), would it still look as nice?

Intersection


This is a road junction outside NAFA. 


See
  • Buildings
  • Vehicles
  • Road
  • Pedestrians
  • Construction work

Think
  • I think that this was taken at a high level

Wonder
  • I wonder if all the construction works are done, including the one just beside NAFA, making way for the new MRT train, I wonder how it'll be/look like. 
  • If NAFA was somewhere else, I wonder what scenery it would be

Water Droplets


I took a photo of water droplets on a table. It was for Drawing Fundamentals class where we had to draw shiny, reflective or metal surfaces.

See
  • Water droplets
  • Table
  • Reflective
  • Liquid


Think
  • I think that if I were to draw these water droplets, it'll be hard because of the reflective surface


Wonder
  • The water droplets look like transparent liquid glue hardened on the table

Sushi Express


Taken at Sushi Express, one of my favourites places to dine in.


See
  • Sushi
  • Soya Sauce
  • Chopsticks
  • Pink plates
  • Green tea

Think
  • I think that it's good that we can just pick what we like from the conveyor belt.
  • I think that having to self service makes it more quicker and less time consuming

Wonder
  • I wonder if they serve other food, for example, chicken chop, chicken wings etc. in this kind of concept, would it be successful? 
  • I wonder if the idea above is being put into place, would people actually try it and willing to pay for such dining experience?

Casino


Outside of Marina Bay Sands casino.


See
  • Car
  • MBS Casino
  • Building structure

Think
  • I think that the idea of a casino is not that good for customers but it is a good idea for the people profiting from it because we would usually spend more than we earn more in there.

Wonder
  • I wonder if any age is able to go in the casino, what would happen?

Singapore Night Festival


Singapore Night Festival

This image or GIF is taken at the Singapore Night Festival a few weeks back. It's a festival where it's taken place at night and there are a lot of lights projected onto buildings, food tents, photobooths, performances and a live band playing music.


See
  • I see a lot of people, hundreds of them
  • Fairy lights
  • Tents
  • Food tents
  • Benches and Tables for people to sit down and eat

Think
  • I think that because of the power of social media, this festival became known quickly nationwide and a lot of people attended this Night Festival
  • I think that without the food, lesser people would come here, just my own opinion

Wonder
  • I wonder if there was not much people, how would the outcome be like?

Berry Nice


This Berry Pancake was the nicest tasting pancake that I have ever had in a while.

See
  • Blueberries
  • Strawberries
  • Raspberries
  • Pancake
  • Whipped Cream
  • Acai seeds
  • Plate
  • Wooden Table

Think
  • I think that this pancake was one of the best pancake I have ever tasted in my life
  • I think that this should be everywhere at an affordable price (because this pancake was quite pricey)

Wonder
  • They currently do not have other flavours, but if they do, I wonder if it is going to be as nice as this
  • Since this is from a cafe that is not so well known, I wonder if it will be really popular if it is from a cafe that is very popular

My Room


A picture of my room, where I sleep and spend most of my time at.


See
  • Bed
  • Pillows
  • Table
  • Lights
  • Clock
  • Curtains

Think
  • I think that this quite a cozy environment for me to be in 
  • I think that I could do a better job at making it cozy but I am satisfied with it already

Wonder
  • I wonder if I painted my walls a different colour, would it change the atmosphere and would it still be comfortable for me?
  • I wonder if the lights on my bed headboard wasn't there, would it still feel as nice?

Perspectives


Drawing Fundamentals class where we had to learn about 1 and 2 points perspectives.

See
  • Students
  • Teacher
  • NAFA
  • Exhibition

Think
  • I think that it was a good idea to get out of the classroom and do something else outside of it so it would be more interesting

Wonder
  • Since we had to do 1 and 2 point perspective drawings, if we did not go out of the classroom to find inspirations for our drawings, I wonder what other 1 and 2 point perspective drawings I would have drew.

Icelab


A Korean Dessert (Bingsu) Cafe called Icelab located at Somerset. This used to be a huge craze in Singapore when it first came. 


See
  • People
  • Chairs
  • Tables
  • Korean Dessert (Bingsu)
  • Strawberries
  • Whipped cream
  • Ice cream
  • Condensed milk

Think
  • I did not understand why so many people were so crazy over this but when I tried it, I understood why. It is somehow a way nicer version of the local Ice Kachang.
  • I think that the people who sell this would earn a lot as it is pretty expensive just for one bowl, approximately $18 on average

Wonder
  • I wonder do people still eat ice kachang, now that this has come to Singapore
  • I wonder if the toppings on the Bingsu is different, would it still be as nice as the other flavours?
  • I wonder if people really enjoy this or they are just buying it because they are following the bandwagon craze that has been going on about Bingsu

Chijmes


A picture of the beautiful building at Chijmes

See
  • Chijmes building

Think
  • I think that the Chijmes building somehow looks like a church
  • I think that it looks really nice
  • I think that it looks pretty at night because of all the lights

Wonder
  • I have always wondered what do people do here at Chijmes

Afterwit


A mexican restaurant that I went to recently.


See
  • Tacos
  • Drinks
  • Ice cream sandwich poster

Think
  • I think that the food and atmosphere here is good

Wonder
  • I wonder what it would be like if the atmosphere was different
  • I wonder what it would be like if the food and the fillings were different

Pu3


This was what I had for a recent dinner. It was at a restaurant called Pu3 and they serve Nasi Ambeng which is one of my favourites. They include in traditional malay food in a huge plate and people in groups of 2-5 can eat it together.


See
  • A huge plate
  • Different kinds of dishes
  • Rice

Think
  • I think that this was a really big serving, comparing the size of the hand and the whole huge plate.

Wonder
  • I wonder how much will they serve if it is meant just for one person, will they still serve a lot?
  • I wonder if people who aren't used to the traditional Malay culture would find it weird

Capitol Theatre


This is nearby the City Hall/Raffles Place MRT and I took a picture of this because the design of the Capitol Theatre attracted me. It somehow seems like a building from the olden days.


See
  • Capitol Theatre
  • Gridded floor
  • Buildings

Think
  • I think that they wanted to design the exterior of the Capitol Theatre like an old theatre style building, like in the olden days or somewhere overseas

Wonder
  • I wonder if people are as intrigued as me by this building
  • I wonder if they had plans to shape this building as something else other than this olden day look

Singapore Food Festival


I went for the Singapore Food Festival and I got these two "paus". It was filled with chocolate inside. A lot of videos on the internet showed these paus.


See
  • Two yellow paus
  • Plate
  • Water bottles
  • Faces

Think
  • I think that this is a great marketing technique - getting something as normal as a pau and making it unique inside and out.
  • I think that these were somehow a bit overpriced at $3 each

Wonder
  • I wonder if it had other fillings, not just the chocolate one, would it taste as good?
  • I wonder if people would continuously buy them or just buy it as a one time thing just to try out

NAFA Glass


This is a glass at NAFA at level 2 the bridge connecting from Wing A to Wing B.

See
  • Glass design
  • The word NAFA but inverted
  • Patterns

Think
  • I think that this piece makes the bridge more interesting and less dull

Wonder
  • I wonder if they had not put this, how the place would be like
  • I wonder if they had put up something else, would it be as interesting as this design?

Toes in the sand


This GIF was taken at Sentosa.


See
  • Sand
  • Feet

Think
  • I think that going to the beach to relieve stress is always a great idea

Wonder
  • I wonder why do beach always have sand, why can't it be something else?
  • I wonder if the sand is replaced by something else, for example seeds, grass, dirt, would people still like the beach?

Graduation


I went for my friend's graduation at ITE Central to support her and her hardwork that she has put in throughout her two years there.

See
  • Plants
  • Graduates
  • Teacher

Think
  • I think that all of them did a good job to be able to graduate

Wonder
  • I wonder if my friend did not put in effort, would she still be able to graduate?

SAM


This is located outside SAM and nearby NAFA and I was sitting here having some alone time snacking on some food.


See
  • Benches
  • Trees
  • SAM

Think
  • If there were more shops there, I think the amount of people visiting SAM would be higher

Wonder
  • I wonder if people enjoy sitting here as much as I do
  • I wonder if the benches could be a different crazy design because even the design now is not something that we would usually see with normal benches

Clarke Quay


This was taken when I was sitting at the steps infront of the Singapore River at Clarke Quay.


See
  • Boat
  • Singapore River
  • Water
  • People
  • Gmax (the ride behind the boat - with the metal poles)

Think
  • I think that Clarke Quay is a very chilled place to hang out at

Wonder
  • I wonder what has attracted many tourists to Clarke Quay, other than the bars and clubs around
  • I wonder if the Gmax is not there, what else would be there? Because for me, it kind of feels out place having a thrilling ride just there beside the Singapore River
