Tanjor Pagar Distripark
There's not a single tree at this location. I shifted my seat to the shady spot at least five times. My take away for this sketch : these "cranes" "transtainers" whatever you call it are on huge wheels!
This location under container port operator, PSA, is expecting to move over all their operations at Tanjong Pagar, Keppel, and Brani Terminals to Tuas Port by 2027. Operations at Pasir Panjang Terminal will be consolidated at Tuas Port by 2040s.
Now blocks 37 and 39, the old warehouses are already converted into art related facilities where Clay Festival 2023 was held here on the same day at block 39 #01-05 called Artspace@Helutrans.
Singapore Art Museum (SAM) had already officially moved into block 39 in Jan 2022.
Exciting times ahead.

Funds raised will be used to pay all expenses related to this campaign, and the balance will go towards the construction cost of the new site.

Day 11 - Insadong
Finally did a sketch in Insadong after lunch. Very crowded in the day but very empty at night when we went there last two nights. We stayed in Insadong after returning from Suwon.

Finally, a sketch at Insadong near to the hotel where I stayed. Hotel Kuretakso can be seen right in the middle of this sketch.

Big Sketch at Jangan Park
Day 4 - ALSW Suwon 7 Oct 2023 Final day, met so many familiar faces from past Asia Link Sketchwalk. Not too familiar...
Posted by Tia Boon Sim on Saturday, 7 October 2023
I had lunch at one very small eatery on the second floor of a building. I did not know we need to use the scissors to cut the photato starched noodles so it was rubbery that I could not finish. Then I was late by just 2 mintues for the final group photo. I saw the group at a distance and tried to walk faster and faster. Absolutely hate myself for that but I could not walk fast at my age. Nevertheless, I did join fellow sketchers for small group photos here and there. The consolation was to take a bus with the younger sketchers from Singapore and catched up with them along the way. Also I had a really good BBQ dinner meal with my usual travelling pals KK from Penang and Pramote from Bangkok. We used to travel together to the symposiums in Lisbon (2012), Barcelona (2013) and Paraty (2014) and not to mention the one in Singapore (2015).
Anyway I completed the big sketch with the rest of fellow sketchers from this angle.

4th Day in Suwon sketching at Buksudong Catholic Church
Buksudong Catholic Church was established in 1923 during the Japanese occupation of Korea, and is one of the designated Catholic pilgrimage sites. The church was shaped like a bishop's mitre and there were many beautiful sculptures on the green lawn.
