I was not scheduled to go back to Singapore to teach Purpose Driven Photographer SG. However, Jay Jay got sick and was hospitalized for acute gastroenteritis and could not travel. So last Wednesday, we decided that I would replace him. It was a good thing my weekend was free. I believe there are no coincidences or that things happen by chance but God always plans things for a reason. I was talking to Jay Jay and told him maybe God wanted him to slow down and rest. Going back to Singapore has been full of blessings and wonderful surprises.
On the first day of my trip, I bumped into to Francis, a friend from our SFC community, at the airport and surprisingly was on the same flight as mine. He was following Marie, his Fiance. It was his first time there so I brought him to Marie’s hotel and we had dinner at Suntec City.
Then comes PDP Workshop Day. I was going to teach composition and posing for portraits. This was the place I stayed at Tech Whye ave.
I was blessed with the kindness and hospitality of PDP SG Organizers. That’s Glyzel, Stephen and Ledda (front to back). Stephen and Glyzel are getting married on October and will be shot by our mentor, John Mateos Ong. Here we are waiting for our taxi.
After more than a half day of lecture. We all went to Esplanade area to practice shooting. We had model volunteers Kevin, Connie and Shanana. Here are some of my takes from the day.
Presenting the 2nd Batch of Purpose Driven Photgrpahers
After a hard day’s work. Some of our students/friends from the 1st batch took me out. Stephen, Connie, Lorraine and Raymond (her husband) took me to Lao Pa Sat for some authentic hawker food.
After dinner, we headed to Clark Quay to relax and unwind. The nice thing about Singapore is that you’re free to shoot anywhere and the place had so many nice spots to shoot, so we made the most of the evening and fired away.
Finally, I have a decent shot…
Thanks to Connie, Raymond and Lorraine!For a night around town.
