I was ‘cleaning up’ my harddisk when I saw this batch of photos I took in 2004 with my Minolta Dimage 5. The Dimage 5 was my first ‘real’ camera back then. It’s only a 3mp camera but it served me well till I decided to sell it away. Ok, these photos were taken in the old Changi Hospital. This is one of Singapore’s ‘famous’ place for photography but it has its own share of freaky stories revolving around it. I shan’t tell any freaky stories here cos you can google it yourself. heh.
Built in 1930′s, the Old Changi Hospital (OCH) has quite a long and rich history. OCH is a typical replica of buildings built by British Colonial architects in the early 20′s. Surprisingly OCH was not meant to be a hospital when it was first built. The British was planning to have a heavily guarded military location in the east of Singapore.

We were fortunate we didn’t encounter anything of the 3rd kind during the photography outing, if you know what I mean. However we were chased by a couple of dogs who were guarding that place and well, my friend and I were close to being bitten. We managed to hide inside this really dark, freaky room while the boys distracted those dogs and we were safe. We didn’t stay long in that place, probably about an hour. I guess all of us wanted to leave before sunset and get the hell out of there fast.
