Friday 13th



June, Friday the 13th. What better way to celebrate this so called unholy date by exploring the free roaming spirit land of OCH (Old Changi Hospital).





OCH is known for both its ancient beauty of when the sun is soaring sky high and its dark urban legends comes to life each time the moon takes center stage. We equip ourselves with the necessities; camera equipments, snacks, friends, girlfriends, big ass van and of course our skateboards.

OCH have been panted even before the commencement of the Japanese invasion of Singapore during World War 2. That much is a fact. The urban legends states that if the moon shines at its brightest, wounded soldiers of the undead roam freely within the compound in search for peace. Sounds and even voices can be heard late nights, calling for something. It might just be calling for you. Some Singaporeans may have experience unnatural encounters upon visiting this undisturbed green sanctuary.

We set up our lens artillery and began excavating this tainted space of OCH.

Well lets take a break here, in between we had so much fun doing all the different shots.
Khaifad and I worked really hard on the shots. The boys are excellent like always, helping each other out with their brainstormed ideas on various locations. Not forgetting Heidi on the amazing shots she did.

Now where were we?.........

Thats if we were a band in the first place.

We stretched our boundaries to gravel covered lot.


We decided to play around with Black and White and came across the perfectly designed corridor which compliments the nature of these colours.

We put the chair to the test.
Simply Stunning.
