Day trip to Pontian, Johor - Memories of a Bygone Era (October 22)

[neech7]

u are the leader, we follow suit btw, how's street shooting for potian like? is there people there camera friendly or they tends to be more caution at cameras pointing at them? so i can plan what i will shoot at potian (either street shoot or landscape).

Can't say if people there are any different but keep in mind that while people in Kukup (which we may visit) are used to tourists, so perhaps more used to cameras, those living in Pontian town may be more shy as it's not generally regarded as a tourist destination.

Hi neech, I like to offer my help given that you are at overseas.
I reside at JB, been to kukup few times. Will meet you guy at larkin on that day and I will be driving.

Thanks. If you mean you will drive to Pontian, then perhaps we can pay our share of petrol?

 

[neech7]

Hi, I am interested in joining you guys for shooting Pontian.
I intend to drive there, but mine is a hatchback and can only seat up to 4 passengers.

Thanks.

Well, well, we potentially have 2 kind souls willing to drive to Pontian. If that's the case, and you're willing to take us, I guess we can split into two cars and non-drivers will chip in for the petrol?

Of course, there's now 9 of us and since your car can take 4, then hopefully wong_se's can take 5 then we will be set.

I could only pick you guys up from Larkin and not SG. similiar on the return, would drop off at Larkin or Bukit Indah area for those who want to take CW3 heading back Jurong East.

Let have a final list, and decide how many car we have.

Understood. If we have 2 cars, then one car (hatchback) with 4 people can go from SG straight to Pontian. I wlll take the rest with me to Larkin to meet up with you.

can i reserve a spot at the back of your truck? haha... open air, while driving, maybe can catch a few good shots :x but pray that it dun rain dat day haha...

 

[neech7]

Two more things before I log off and get some sleep

1. If you signed up but haven't PM me your mobile number, please do so to make it easier to communicate on actual day.

2. As I mentioned previously, I am in United States now and I don't have a Singapore mobile number yet. About 10 days before the trip, I will fly back to SG, at which point, I will acquire a Singapore mobile number right away and I will SMS it to you.

no worries, i have a canvas. when rain, I roll it out and you will be covered, the canvas has a small window, you can continue to shot. Just make sure u dun jump up and down, otherwise the in cabin passenger would be bumping up and donw.

 

[Joanne Chong]

haha... I seldom back to Pontian, and you've listed most of the shooting places in downtown.
