Busy Andy. In our line of work..
Sadly till date I haven't found much photographers who can actually 100% take over me; so while I have many assistants / associate PGs I'm still have to go down to most shoots to supervise (at the minimum).
After 2 years of in-house training I realise that our skillset cannot be "taught". The technical part, yes. But anything else they have to learn via experience, and while they get the hang of it, I still carefully hold their hand.
Before you suggest getting someone already experienced - I'm against it. The better they are, the more stubborn they get. I rather get someone willing to learn.

i used to camp overnight at pulau ubin.. think the place has some SPI interests. may be a good place for flashaholics with an interest in getting some SPI actions too 😛 i think it was at marman beach (or some similar word) that i encountered those, but that was the best campsite :duh2:

What do you mean by "encountered those"? You mean the supernatural? Or do you mean the SPI team that you encountered?
I have been staying overnight there almost every weekend for between 10 to 15 years and have yet to encounter anything, much as I was wanting to experience it for once at least. I have heard of many stories but they remain elusive. Many times I interviewed the people who claimed they saw something, but their stories don't seem to make any sense.
One guy told a story that he was camping at Noordin beach when a lady with a baby in her arms came up to him and offered the baby to him. He said he was scared shitless and called for the police to come fetch him out. Sounds plausible? Not to me. If he is scared shitless don't you think he should be running out instead? Would he even know or remember to call the police and still sit there for them to come pick him up? I have heard of many stories like this but they remain unbelievable and unverified.
I met a bunch who claimed they saw something white flying across and they were scared to hell too. When I started questioning them further they just suddenly became very unsure of what they are seeing and unanimously agreed that it could be an egret flying pass.
Many stories to keep the thrill going though so yes, me and my friends did contemplate on creating an SPI type flashlight outing but many are either too scared to respond, or too busy to go. In the end we gave up. I did however led an SPI group around in Ubin in which I think is probably the most boring outing I have ever encountered.
Again I say, feel free to join me and my friend. We are all flashaholic who frequently stay overnight there just to play with our lights and get away from all the stress in work.

I meant those spooky stuffs. i remembered it was a few years ago at that marman campsite, the 3 of us guys were bathing in the toilet at night, i was the last to leave the toilet. i heard a female voice from behind the toilet, can't remember whether it was a cry or what. naturally i thought it was a prank played by the other 2 guys. went outside and saw them sitting by the beach, far from the toilet. yes, we were the only guys there. 😱
another time, also at the same campsite, my friend spotted something flashed by him at night. maybe this campsite is dirtier?

So when your wife is away, come come come! Muahahaha! I don't see anything in Marman beach. I am a regular there. Even the dog is our friend.

I once had an opportunity to camp solo in a tent for several days about 2 decades ago on P.Ubin. Only thing that visited me were wild dogs who took away my food when I went into the bushes for toilet visit. Fang marks were all over the non-food bags they left behind. The way I see it, there are enough scary things happening amongst the living.
True. One of the things that scare me in Ubin is not the ghost but rather being chased by wild boars. On one instance I was bitten by a juvenile female boar and she left a small puncture scar on my right leg. On another one my friends and I was chased by an enraged sow when we cycled pass between her piglet and her. I had told my friend who is leading in front that it is dangerous since I saw a piglet walking across the path but my friend said its ok and insisted on cycling across. My warning was spot on and she gave chase. We got away fine after a hard pedal on our bicycles but it was really scary.

Hi Zeruel & Andy, 7pm Adam Food Center is fine with me. Hope the weather stays dry througout the day to make our time easier.
Unlikely to be a clear moonless night. Moonrise at 1613 hr and set at 0350 hr with 84% moon. Still, what is to stop us from playing?
You confirm going? If you are, we will meet say 8pm at Adam food centre first and you can make your way there to meet us.
Sadly, I lend out my D700 to a friend and I am too lazy to carry the D3s along. Hehehe... No photos dude. It was a fun trip. No hauntings and we get to play with all our lights whenever Triode888 turn off his HID Polarion.
All of us--->
<---Triode888Unfortunately we got no ropes to tie him onto a tree.
