Video reminiscence from around the world, by Nelson Wei Tan

Had dinner with Kristal today. I really missed my dose of Singapore cuisines.

Bus terminal at Ang Mo Kio is air-conditioned! Wow. Thanks for cooling this penguin.

Went shopping at a supermarket. Local produce here are slightly cheaper than the States but generally, groceries are more expensive because they are mostly imported.

Visited the Singapore National Museum today. Here are my thoughts on it. I wish it was more a place for learning rather than a tourist attraction. I seemed to be walking through a haunted house (with interactive videos, and dark lighting) rather than a museum.

I was given a very high-tech navigation set, which I was a wonderful, but at the same time, the device was bulky and the interface design was user unfriendly.

Check out Kevin’s video of the museum.

Was at the Vivo City for a hair cut today. This picture was taken on the balcony overseeing Sentosa.

Vivo City reminded me of the Buffalo’s Walden Galleria, except it is newer. They had street performers in the mall itself and I find it amusing to see this……..

and this… there.

Visited the Esplanade today. The art library was awesome. They had a Peranakan (Straits born Chinese) awareness play at the center foyer. Nice…

A visit back to my Design School. My lectures were complaining about how teaching courses there sucks because the current director of the school doesn’t understand how design students should me taught. Oh well…

I am currently working on my video project, Head of State V.2. I will take a daily photograph of myself throughout my time in Singapore. At the end of my 6 months stay, I will create a video installation based on these photographs along with 4 new digital prints.

Check out Head of State V.1 to get an idea of what I’m doing.

Hello blog,

Since you’ve been hacked, I never had a chance to write you like the way I did. Furthermore, I had a hard time getting internet in Singapore. I promise I will write more often.
