walkfest 2013 - singapore - day 1

On the first day we arrived at the St Andrew's Cathedral around 9am from Chinatown where we stayed at the Santa Grand Hotel Lai Chun Yuen Hotel that used to be an old Chinese opera theatre. 

For this trip, i bought a medium charcoal pencil and used a sharpener with it (blade cutter is not a safe way to travel). Most of my Singapore sketches were done with pen and ink and charcoal to add shades and shadows.


After visiting the church, we walked all the way to Marina Bay going to the Gardens by the bay, passing the art museum, and other museums and hotels. On the way i sketched my first fire hydrant sketch ever.


We had lunch at gardens by the bay, i had laksa in one of the old singapore restos which had coconut milk that made it extra creamy and delicious and oh tah (fish paste - i think this is only in singapore, i have not seen this in malaysia).

After lunch we went to sentosa and i did not do anymore sketches for the rest of the day, i wanted to do the wind tunnel sky diving but i am afraid the experience would leave me addicted and there is no way i could do it in the philippines.

We got back around ten pm at ur hotel rooms, feet burning from walking all day. I am glad i slept alone that night, nobody was able to smell my stinky body.
