The Singapore Chapter.... Ruk's

After a day of travelling, we were scheduled to be at Ruk's ( who, like all the ladies in my posting, was a student of ASH)  for a shower and a short rest before the dinner. Now I have heard so much about this house but I simply could not imagine as I don't believe there were photographs that I could refer to.

So when the MPV arrived at the house, I had forgotton all about the uniqueness of this place. Its a terraced house and a garden in front and the back-yard.

But as soon as I entered the compound, I was dumb-struck. With my back-pack still on my back, and a travelling bag in my hand, I just dropped everything and stood in awe, took out my camera and was shooting away.

To my right , was a gazebo beautifully decorated and really , this place would put Naili's Sentul of KL to shame.  To enter the house , you walk on 4 or 5 slabs of pavement bridge over a small pond of a few really big Japanese Carps ( I think thats what they are !)

Anyway, stepping into the house is another experience for me. I'm hopeless at describing and only photograps can actually show what I want to write. The sitting room was devoid of any settees and chairs . The paintings, the ornaments , the decor, the plants , the dining table ....in short, the atmosphere created was , to me at least, mystical and alluring.

I could not stop moving round the house. Everywhere I look, I see a potentially good subject. I told them that it would take a week to finish photographing everything that has potential. Its a photographer's haven , to me !

Here are some more photos.
