I know it’s a bit late but nevertheless, SPC WISHES ALL OF YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Last year December, we had our monthly outing held at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve organized by the SPC committee. As the name speaks for itself, it is a nature reserve located in the northwest of Singapore. As much as we know from the website, there are a wide variety of birds and wildlife to be seen there. However, we didn’t manage to see much wildlife over there except for some spiders. Probably the animals are too shy.

As usual, we started off with a group shot.

Unlike Chinese Garden Outing with groupings and games, this outing was more of free and easy.

With our jump master Fai Ming around, how can we miss the jump shot?

Group jump shot!

Some wildlife seen at Sungei Buloh.

Despite not able to take much wildlife, shutterbugs were not constraint and restricted by the limited boundaries.

Good moments have to come to an end and we decided to call for a day. Before everyone separated, we had our last group shot of the day.

(above) Preparation and setting up

All in all, many of us still had fun at Sungei Buloh. SPC appreciates each and every one of you who came down for this outing especially when it’s a Sunday. Thank you very much and hope you guys enjoyed our company as much as we do. Till then, more updates coming up!

P.S. I’m sorry for the super late update!

Before the start of the whole event, Sean and Terrell briefed the groups on the objectives of this outing and provided the group leaders with the map of Chinese Garden. After that, we had our first group shot of the day at the main Pagoda!

The huge group of us!

So everyone was splitted into their respective groups and they started their journey. There were 4 stations in total with 4 different themes: Paparazzi, Zen, Passion and Monotone with a Main theme, Green.

This is one of the four stations that the respectative group has to play. After completing the station, the group will be able to get the theme for that station. Following that, they have to take shots related to the theme.

The pictures below are some of the shots from other stations. The main purpose of this outing is more for cohesion, bonding among the groups and also sharing of photography skills and techniques.
