Was invited to The National Art Gallery Open House Launch by Omy on the 8th October 2010. We were allowed to bring guests and I brought my mum and Henry. “Odd”, you might think, but I know my mum likes places like this, and I also felt like asking my buddy along (someone with photography skills and I thought it should be fun).
There was the launch, and some speeches, and then a shoot with all the VIPs outside the City Hall. I took pics instead.
Spot the VIPS
Henry taught me panning! Which I’ve never tried before and this is my first shot
Willy Foo (in brown)
Next panning shot!
We had a tour around the former supreme court (which was only available on the launch day). Tour guide was Kevin who really knows his stuff.
What I didn’t like was the other staff rushing us around to the next destination. 🙁 The whole tour was like over in 30mins which is really short if you count the number of places we entered (quite a lot).
But I learnt a lot.
Took lots of shots.
I wonder what’s this for
This leads to the cells for prisoners downstairs… They didn’t show us there 🙁
They didn’t have aircons then so had to use these for ventilation.
Dreamy…
Inside the library
This is Kevin.
Risked my 90’s life to take this. HAHA.
Anyway, after that, my mum went home and Henry and I went to MOS Burger to sit for a while, and walked around Clarke Quay to take pics. But it was quite a hazy day so the pics didn’t turn out good (see FB for them). Then at night we went to Yi Long‘s Granny’s wake with Bao Hui.
Anyway, the next day, we met up with Henry’s group of friends to visit City Hall! Jmin was supposed to come along but after all the confusion (we weren’t sure if City Hall was open to public on that day), she decided not to go. So I went ahead as I know that dark times are ahead (with regards to projects haha).
Got to try Henry’s 50mm f1.8! Yay! 😀
The day was clearer by the way!

Mirrors… cannot resist.
LOOK AT THE APERTURE!
I like this concept. Will be submitting a picture soon.
Henry
His friend Jun Hong.
Had great fun! Though I have to admit I was quite tired on the 9th so I left early. Had to complete my programming part of the project too.
Thanks Omy for the invite and thanks to Henry and my mum and Henry’s friends for talking to me! Haha.
