Colours from Wonderland
So it proved to be quite a sight. Wonderland was the theme and they sure did put up a great show to get that feel across to everyone who was there.
I promised in my previous entry to post some photos from the event. No, I didn’t take them… I wish I did but my photography skills are nowhere near this. I joined the photography club in college and even attended lectures on it… but I’ve yet to understand it.
Just look at the colours on display that night… and amazing isn’t it? the images are so sharp! Great photography skills! I really should get a tip or two. hehe
Enjoy!

Hi Suzanne,
I really have a question for you regarding the question on Korea. When I was watching the Drama series Jumong, I notice that Koreans do not sit on the floor instead they sat on the table while having discussions. However, when I watch dramas from the Joseon Dynasty, I noticed that Koreans are then already sitting on the floor in a style that were similar to the Japanese. I become interested in finding out the cause of this as in who and when this culture was brought in or developed. There seems to be no sources on the Internet that could answer my question. I have tried sitting on a floor to eat with a mini table that were commonly seen in Korea, but it seems like my stomach is being compressed and I couldn’t take in as much food as sitting on a table.
just wanna say hi here… this blog is interesting
This is my 1st time in writing a response.
Up till this moment, i still don’t get it….what’s with this Chingay event. Although I’ve lived in Singapore for a decade….i still think Chingay is the odd event i ever seen.
Anyway, (You probably heard this one zillions of times) but I really enjoyed your PTM show.
Morning,just want to say Hi….Chingay event?What does it mean?
“Anyway, (You probably heard this one zillions of times) but I really enjoyed your PTM show.”
Second that
Actually as I understand, chingay is traditionally a procession where the statues of gods are carried from the temples to tour the localities and bring peace and prosperity to the land. In some cities in Malaysia and probably other south east asian countries still have this have this practice, and is still very much a traditional affair. Not sure if it’s proper to link, http://www.photokaki.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=32720. Have even heard of Chingay tours organized by some tour agents to visit JB for their Chingay. Popular among photographers.
In Singapore, it has become a somewhat modern procession, including even world class art performances.
Hi Suzanne, firstly, I want to thank you for helping me out by answering my questions on here with regards to the paper I was writing on Korean festivals. My tutor at uni really liked it!
I’d prefer to do this over email, but I couldn’t find your email anywhere online, and I had difficulty finding information on the CNA website. And this is with regards to an internship with CNA. I wonder if you could drop me a short email and direct me somewhere? I’d greatly appreciate it if you could! Thanks!
That’s great! I too joined the photographic society in secondary boarding school and even developed a few of my own photographs taken with a box camera if I remember correct. Lovely hobby but quite expensive for us in Sri Lanka.
