CSS Esplanade Public Performance @ Photolog 1
Saturday, April 01, 2006
This is the largest photolog I ever had as of yet with over 100 photographs. I am forced to resize all pictures to a 320x240 size so as to prevent the pictures from taking overly long to load or 56k users to die from the wait.
this CSS Esplanade Public Performance entry had been split into three parts, with two parts being photolog and one being the afterthoughts.
in the two parts of the photolog, Part 1 features pictures taken with my Sony Ericsson K750i while Part 2 features those taken with Metinee's Sony CyberShot DSC-T9.
you will find more faces in Part 2 than in Part 1 since my habit is to take structures, not faces. but I took some extra photos towards the end of the night.
as I create many photologs, it is about time I watermark my pictures and optimise my photologging process by adjusting the resolution of the pictures before uploading.
after a break since last night, I will now continue the entry.
although I thought I had taken some pictures at the MRT station before proceeding to Esplanade, they are nowhere to be found. so I can only start with...
this sign. and their "world-class sign".
so world class. and the entire gang walked along the walkway towards Esplanade after crossing CityLink Mall.
and we reached the esplanade! hell a lot of scenic photos of the Esplanade since it is the feature of the day anyway.
and some other interesting sights in the area. the esplanade-logo-modelled street lamps and the skyline of CBD.
something that looks like an oil drill or something.
the famous spot for shooting pictures at night, Fullerton Hotel.
the mini merlion at Merlion Park across the Singapore River from Esplanade.
the clifford pier, where you take ships to Kusu Island. going to be closed down soon though..
they decided to go Clifford Centre for Dinner at the B1 Food Court.
no photography? haha.
they have fenced off an area of the food court where nothing is going on and all lights are off.
at the foodcourt, I decided to take a picture of each person in their ugliest position ever while they are eating.
first, all of them.
alicia comes first since she is in the best position for me to take an ugly picture =)
then metinee. actually this isnt very ugly but whatever.
then yik yie! use your creativity for this one.
the other two picture did not turn out the way I wanted it to as jin yee and pamela had their backs facing me and I cant take a proper picture without looking like some retard trying to focus the camera on their faces.
for ying sheng, I waited a long time before I took this picture since the way ying sheng eats is very the "wen ya" that could rival xinyi and jingwen.
zhepeng. also back view. but the fact that he is using hands to eat made me take a picture.
then we left Clifford Centre and headed back quickly to Esplanade for it is already 6+pm. one big piece of cloud I saw.
jin yee and metinee takes a picture with the durian. due to size you probably cant see the face properly.
yet another no photography sign. haha.
the main hall of the Esplanade. rather interestingly designed. semms to me there are some exhibition going on as well.
no touching. but can take picture right?
at the rooftop garden...
looking down from the rooftop garden...
the clearer skyline of the Central Business District from the rooftop garden. it will look much better at night though.
an interesting pavillion I saw from the rooftop garden as well.
then someone spotted the changing room somewhat a level down from the main hall. everyone hastily took a picture. notice farah at the corner of the picture.
and after some slacking around. we took the escalator up to the entrance to Circle 2 and 3. at first everyone panicked when the signboard read no handphones and pagers. luckily it is not mentioned by the staff.
the long hall that will lead you to a few entrance of Circle 2 and eventually Circle 3 (where you have to take yet another escalator).
in the theatre photography is actually not allowed. but I sneaked a few pictures nevertheless.
the roof
the three circles and the balcony.
stage.
okay enough shots of the theatre before The Esplanade Co. Ltd send a lawyer letter to me.
and so the show ended at 9++ and we waited for chong keng's gang to come out. eventually only chong keng and calvin is left and the other few cant be bothered slacking around with us.
chong keng (with his broken arm) and metinee.
interesting ball-looking structure at the area outside Esplanade. the previous time I shot this it didnt look so nice.
finally you see loads of people as everybody happily took pictures. they are not looking at my angle since they are facing other cameras and I just wanted to test my flash at the same time =)
first, alicia, metinee and jin yee
MX and metinee.
ying sheng and jin yee
the sign outside.
very class photo of Esplanade lighted up at night.
the "F4". lutfi, asayaraf, bahari and phyo's back views. haha
jin yee and xinyue
everyone concerned over chong keng's arm on the MRT to McDonalds Jurong Entertainment Centre.
these picture mark the end of part 1, essentially the pictures I took. part 2 will come soon.
