To all participants of the wildlife shoot/workshop:
Hello everyone.
As the day for the wildlife workship is almost upon us, here are some basic information and what you should and should not do/bring on the day of the workshop:
For those taking the bus/transportation ...
The time is 7am SHARP, please gather outside the Mcdonald's restaurant at Tiong Bahru Plaza (above Tiong Bahru MRT station). Please be punctual as we are really tight on our schedules. I and several CS officials will be there to coordinate the transportation.
For those whom are driving there/not taking the transport ...
Please make sure you reach the wildlife reserve by 7:45 or latest by 8:00am. Kindly wait outside the reserve at the ticketing counter, do not enter first because we need to get you your tickets first (it is paid for in the $5 fee). Here's a map on how to get to the reserve if you are not familiar with it:
