Hi Guys,

This is Andy from SAFRA Photographic Club. The SYPA website is up again. Do refer to the page for details like closing date/time and address to send to etc as so far these are the common questions asked. And you need to provide a border with the black mounting board around the photo.

Another common question is how to get to SAFRA Mount Faber. Well, we're accessible from HarbourFront or VivoCity. You can take bus service 131 or 145 from the bus stops on the side of either HarbourFront or VivoCity to reach SAFRA Mount Faber. I'm sorry as I'm not exactly sure how many bus stops you need to travel. But you can probably ask the bus driver.

You can also travel to Redhill MRT Station. Turn right, wait for bus service 145 at the bus stop on the side of the MRT Station. Do not cross the road. Alight at the 7th bus stop, counting the bus stop you're waiting for the bus as the 1st bus stop. Upon alighting, follow the direction of the traffic. Cross the traffic light and the colorful building is SAFRA Mount Faber. You may pass the photos to the customer service counter at level 1.

Keep the submissions coming in and cont shooting! To those who have called me over the past few days, sorry if I sound grouchy/monotonous. Was sick since the wkend. :sweat:
