Vintage old Shophouses @ Ann Siang Street & Neil Road

* Please pardon me as i am using photobucket for uploading pics for the first time. For those partial photos, you will need to click on the pic to view full image as i realise my blog space is too small for showcasing it.

It wasnt an easy preparation for the shoot as woodblock and me practically wander off (by public transport and mainly foot)to recce "vintage" places for the photoshoot.

First Stop: Seletar Air Base
Where: TOTALLY NO IDEA becos we really got super lost around the vicinity. The weathe was hot and imagine walking a road and not knowing where u are heading is a BIG TORTURE =(


Photobucket
This is the only sole pic i took while we were lost. This house is very cute and has those English cottage feel to it so couldnt resist and took a snap for it.

As soon we manage to hope on to some air con bus, we quickly proceed to our second destination!

Stop 2(actually can be consider as stop 1): Ann Siang Street
Where: Near Chinatown MRT Station.

Once we step foot at Ann Siang Street, the first thing I did was to marvel at what the hell is this crazy gorgeous place??? The whole street seems to be like a very different singapore that I know of. The street was serene despite it was on a Saturday. No wonder many couples came down here for bridal shoot.

OOoo Love this vry spot => doesnt this look like those settings we always see models posing with??
Photobucket

Photobucket Another gem find, I finally know where exactly is the Screening Room. Been wanting to visit there since like mabbe a yr plus ago but was worried it might be in some secluded area which is hard to visit.

Photobucket
Photobucket I wonder what's those weird graffitti about?


Photobucket
Another good spot for posing with the signboards and vintage street lamp. The whole settings is enhance by the dipilated rich blue wall behind

Photobucket For those who are into spiral staircase.....

Photobucket Or artistic nature shots with trees and vines against those grey granite red brick walls
Photobucket
Or a fanatic fan for vintage door grills + oriental brick windows

Oh we actually have an in house "SADAKO well" in singapore too so dont waste money going Japan to find the well. Sadly the well is caged, so meaning it's hard for someone to fall in to become our in house "SADAKO" as a newly added tourist attraction.
Photobucket
Yes another gorgeous red building
Photobucket Photobucket The rose printed tiles are so romantic!
Photobucket Some unique tilings

Photobucket

Photobucket
how about dining for 2 along the vintage street settings?
Photobucket I saw a bride taking photo with this red window frame =) but i think the bride need to sit exactly in front of those stickers to cover them up!

Third Stop: Neil Road
Where: Near Outram Park MRT Station

Before I even stepped foot into Neil Road, I pass by this building which is so OLD SKOOL , no no no not as in the style but LITERALLY OLD SKOOL *chuckle*

Photobucket

Photobucket But this wasnt the only thing i was amuse at becos I found something even more interesitng as I walk on

Photobucket The peranankan house own by NUS

Photobucket
If you are chosing this background, ur PG better be good cos it seems like a make or break photo.
Either super stylish pic with bride being enhanced by the abandon vintage building
or it is a pic with horrified bride in front of a haunted house.

OR WORSE: a smiling creepy bride who looks like she is part of the haunted house EEEEEKKKK!
Photobucket
This house is so puurfect to take with a vintage gown! So beautiful and clean with the nice cream colours.
Photobucket
Famous site for peranakan tilings etc Somehow i feel that the owners shoud move the plants away, I keep getting tangle with the potted plants along the whole street.


Ok That's all for the adventures and pic review of the 2 places =) HOpe it helps!
