And so you, our premier old architecture buff, what do you do? Your first set of pix turns out to be a collection of commieblocks! :D
Don't worry, this is not a criticism, just an observation. ;)

Monkey December 5th, 2004, 10:09 PM Huaiwei, are you sure you posted that comment in the right thread? There was no talk about anything being red here ... except, of course, redstone, the author of the thread. :)

Thanks a lot! :D :banana: :okay:
How you did it?
hyacinthus December 17th, 2004, 05:32 PM Use Arcsoft Panorama Maker 3.0 that comes with Nikon Digital cameras.
http://www.arcsoft.com/en/products/panoramamaker/
I believe there are others you can try.
RafflesCity December 17th, 2004, 10:58 PM i also use that :)
hey hyacinthus new avatar! is that an angel? I like the previous one cos it matches your name :D
Cliff December 18th, 2004, 02:22 AM Nice pano!! Too bad mine is Olympus, so only works on pics taken by the camera in panorama mode.:(
RafflesCity December 18th, 2004, 02:24 AM the density is incredible! :eek2:
redstone December 18th, 2004, 02:25 AM I think I'll be checking out those tall HDB flats across the river (or canal), near CHIJ Primary.
It is the yellow one on the left.
hyacinthus December 18th, 2004, 08:35 AM i also use that :)

Hyacinthus is also the name of a Greek vegetation divinity who was loved by both Apollo and Zephyrus. He returned the love of Apollo, but not of Zephyrus. When he and Apollo were throwing the discus together, Zephyrus blew Apollo's discus out of its course. It struck the head of Hyacinthus and killed him. From his blood Apollo made spring up a flower, the hyacinth.
The angel is taken from a Christmas Tree. Can you guess which Christmas Tree? ;)

Cliff December 19th, 2004, 03:33 AM Whats the new puple thing and leaf?
hyacinthus December 19th, 2004, 08:00 AM @Raffles City
A Decor on Takashimaya Christmas Tree. Guess we all look at a macro level but not micro. :)
@Cliff
Purple thing is the flower - Hyacinth :) It's a sweet smelling bulb flower. Costs about $6 per stalk. From Holland.
Raffles mentioned that he prefers the Hyacinth to an Angel, so I changed back to Hyacinth (with its leaf)
RafflesCity December 19th, 2004, 03:38 PM LOL :D
i think hyacinthus is a water plant..the only colours I remember seeing were pink and pale orange
redstone December 19th, 2004, 03:45 PM I'll see if I have the time to go up other point blocks in TPY Central.
I'll post my photos here! :D
Cliff December 19th, 2004, 04:00 PM The only place I heard of the plant was in Pri School textbooks, Water Hyacinth:D
We should rename this thread Redstone's Pics!!!!
Monkey December 20th, 2004, 09:34 AM Nice SG commieblocks up there, redstone! :okay:
As to hyacinth the forumer (welcome! :wave: ) and hyacinth the plant: I hadn't heard that story of Greek saga. What a sad and lovely tale! :) I know the flower well, it grew in my grandmother's garden.
@Raffi: water hyacinth is different from the species shown in hyacinth's current avatar. In fact, water hyancinth can be an invasive pest plant, covering large stretches of a body of water and sucking the life out of it. :(
And back to the thread topic: redstone, may I say again that I'm thrilled that you got your camera! :banana: Please keep those photos coming! :)

Thank you for welcoming me and... explaining the differences :)
RafflesCity December 20th, 2004, 11:18 AM @WH, yes thanks for explaining :yes:
the only hyacinths i remember seeing was when i was in kindergarten
it was a pale pink water-hyacinth with bulky leaves and wow i didnt know they had such nasty potential..didnt look that way -_- :)
anyway the one in hyacinthus' avatar looks more exotic :yes:

Monkey December 23rd, 2004, 12:09 AM Raffles mentioned that he prefers the Hyacinth to an Angel, so I changed back to Hyacinth (with its leaf)
My dear friends hyacinthus and Raffi, would you please indulge me? Mother Superior just loves Christmas :love: and would therefore ask that hyacinthus change back to his angel avatar for the brief period of Christmas. :angel1:
You can then use the beautiful deep purple hyacinth avatar that represents your nick so nicely starting again on January 7. :)
Please? :master:
eyetoeye December 23rd, 2004, 12:56 AM This makes me feel; so guilty because i've been planning to go bishan to take pics all this month but i have yet to follow through. Can't say it's all my fault.

hyacinthus December 29th, 2004, 02:43 PM that shows most of us stay around central or the east...
RafflesCity December 29th, 2004, 05:48 PM You guys ought to venture to the West or North. The central and eastern areas are getting over photograped!
believe me I would like to do that asap..however everyday the same buildings can scream to be photgraphed over and over again..especially when the sun hits them or there are new angles :D
btw I think Toa Payoh is on its way to be one of the highest-rise suburban clusters in Singapore :cool:

Found Chen Wen Hsi's old Residence at Kingsmead Rd...
http://img103.exs.cx/img103/3470/chenwenhsihouse3gi.jpg
A closer look at the sign...
http://img196.exs.cx/img196/1558/chenwenhsihousenhb8ft.jpg
1908 - 1991
http://www.knowledgenet.com.sg/singapore/SG/BI/BICWH001.jpg
Here's his biography
Chen Wen Hsi was born in China in 1908. Growing up in a village in South China with fish, sparrows, egrets, ducks, chickens and geese allowed him to study these animals closely. Later on these animals and birds were to populate his paintings. He was also attracted to the village craftsmen painting bright, colourful decorations in and on the houses of the village in times of celebrations. These early experiences spurred him to rebel against his family's ambitions for him to be a lawyer and to take up the painting brush instead. "My choice so infuriated my uncle that he waved a chopper in my face and explained that art was like the blunt edge and I should take up law, which would give me a cutting edge in life".
Nevertheless, he persevered in his decision and studied the paintings of Mu Xi and Shi Luo of Song Dynasty and Lu Ji of Ming Dynasty. Art and life coincided with remarkable alacrity for him: in Swatow (Shantou), he was so taken with a print of Mu Xi's gibbons that he began rearing them as pets. He studied at both the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts and Xinhua Academy of Fine Arts in the late 1920s and 1930s where he studied both traditional ink and Western painting. At Xinhua, he met fellow students Chen Chong Swee and Liu Kang who were to be his compatriots in Singapore later.
Wen Hsi moved to Singapore in 1947. Till then he worked primarily in ink often with muted tones and simple lines which conveyed intense feeling and descriptive power. Led by the Chinese literati's aesthetic which regarded subjective expression as the highest form of expression, he also looked to Western art forms like Realism, Impressionism, Post Impressionism, Fauvism and Cubism to expand his repertoire and sensibility. In particular, he regarded Post Impressionism highly as the movement's focus on brushwork imbued the art with a formal quality.
A natural progression towards Abstraction ensued, where his formal training in Chinese ink could find full expression through the 'window' of Western Art. In this he was less engaged with the discussion in the Nanyang School and more comfortable with Modernist movement. The painting, In The Museum (1956) depicts the innovative vision of Chen, in his attempts to synthesise two traditions. The painting represents multiple viewpoints in the Cubist idiom, where he is concerned not only with capturing details of the exhibit but also the ambience of the gallery and the experience that engrossed the exhibit's viewers. He was also adept at synthesizing expressive brushwork with calligraphy and painted his beloved animals and birds in a bold innovative way.
His works are in many private, public and corporate collections, both here and abroad. In 1964, he was awarded the Public Service Star by the government of Singapore for his contribution to art. In 1975, he was conferred an honorary degree of Doctor of Letters by the then University of Singapore for his outstanding contributions and achievements to art in Singapore. Chen Wen Hsi passed away in 1991.

RafflesCity February 2nd, 2005, 04:49 AM wah..the residence doesnt look that old...this is rather interesting
hyacinthus February 2nd, 2005, 04:54 AM I was just surprised that a house like that has a NHB plaque outside the house... :)
Wonder if there were more of such houses?

Maybe they were demolishing something and then got too lazy to finish off properly... :lol: OR... a more likely theory would be that that wall happens to be the one Humpty Dumpty fell off in those rhymes of olde...
nova March 7th, 2005, 08:38 AM Yes, the Humpty Dumpty theory is particularly likely. :D
Maybe they just built a wall for fun? :)
eyetoeye March 7th, 2005, 08:40 AM Yes, the Humpty Dumpty theory is particularly likely. :D
Maybe they just built a wall for fun? :)
I doubt so. Back in the dark ages, when this wall was most likely constructed(carbon dating required to confirm this), most people's idea of fun involved whips, hooks and heavy ammunition of some sort applied to human flesh. Rather disconcerting.
Worlds of Earth March 7th, 2005, 08:48 AM Singapore was not settled by savages, I think.
eyetoeye March 7th, 2005, 08:50 AM Singapore was not settled by savages, I think.

Your picture composition and photo treatment has improved tremendously. met someone who is able to show you the eye for good composition and how to treat digital pictures? ;D
redstone July 9th, 2006, 05:22 AM Haha thanks Hya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been using Paint.NET to fix my shots. Still self learning. ClubSNAP and DeviantArt are good places to get inspiration. ^ ^
Then again also depends on weather factors and luck.
I was visiting my friend in Sunset Way, she wasn't there yet so I went over to the bridge to shoot... SUNSET. heheh. No pun intended. LUCK is important, but let's not forget aesthetics and technical skills as well, which I am not good at. :P
Cliffy's much better.

No, it's a private development. The center is hollow, like in a "C" letter and the access corridors revolve around the central diameter, so there's not "unit in the center", so to speak :-)
