Introduction to Photography @ The Garden Slug

DSLR class at TGS for web

Yup, just like that, no catch. (We’re not the catchy type of ppl anyway, for as long as you’ve known us, right?)

Just another fun-fun event for our slugphiles, brought to you by yours truly. We’ve engaged veteran tutor, self-taught photography enthusiast & fellow slugphile Hansel Tan to conduct the classes. Come learn how to shoot photos like these:

There will be none of that frou-frou “O, it’s all about having the EYE for it” kind of talk. Hansel takes a systematic, perhaps almost scientific, approach in learning the fundamentals of photography.

Classes will be over 4 hours (2hrs weekday + 2hrs weekend) and there will be 2 runs of the class.

Shooting Like the Pros! – Fundamentals of dSLR Photography
Venue: The Garden Slug
Dates:
• Run 1 — 15 Mar 7-9pm | 20 Mar 3-5pm
• Run 2 — 22 Mar 7-9pm | 27 Mar 3-5pm
Cost: FOC
Light refreshments provided.

This is what you can expect to gain from the class:

Give me those Krispy Kremes!!

Last night at The Garden Slug… Shaun slug walks into the kitchen with a box of Krispy Kreme donuts.  Seeing the familiar polka-dotted box, Joe and Sophia let out a collective 100 decibel , ” WAHHHHHHHHH!!! ” In response to that, Shaun said, ” Nicholina left this for Sharon, I’ll keep it in the chiller for her..”  Joe and Sophia then let out a collective sigh, ” Ohhhhhhhhhh…” But we’re meeting Sharon Slug this afternoon to do the R&D for the new Hearty Pineapple Tarts..  Hehe, will convince Sharon Slug to share her donut stash. :-0  Thank You Nicholina for lugging these precious babies all the way from K.L. !

A Sluggy Christmas Story

Gosh, this blog post is oh-so-belated….  Remember our Xmas Kits 2009? ( I know, I know..that was sooo last year.. haha) The kitchen slugs were working close to 20 hours per day watching Turkey TV and stirring stew pots…So, imagine how touched we were when 4 slug fans friends actually came with gifts of love to thank us for our effort. We’re truly floored!

First, Nicholinabrought her dad’s famous roast pork! And gave us Royce Champagne chocolates on Boxing Day… She obviously found our weak spot(s)!

Santa Yvonne came bearing gifts of socks!

As if that isn”t enough big love, Good ol’ Nicholas and Clare came to cook us Wagyu steaks for dinner!!! Those steaks were delish! I’m sure Sharon slug will second that opinion. Sorry Nick & Clare, that I was running all over the store with steak in my mouth.. Haha.. :-0

Thank You Joey & Paul !( aka Fei Mao)

Chocolates AND a love letter from Joey! Ha!

Check out these lovely chocolates from Joey and Paul.. Joey celebrated her husband’s birthday at The Garden Slug on Friday night, and we’re so happy that they enjoyed themselves! So now, we must hao-lian a bit. ( Just kidding, we are just humbly sharing our joy!! ).. This is what Joey wrote in her card :

Dearest Sophia, Joseph, Shaun and the other guys who was helping out last night ( Alex and Kenny)..  Thank You ! I really cannot say this enough. You are the best people I’ve had the fortune to meet.. From your sincerity, helpfulness and fantastic enthusiasam, and excellent food… Every one was really impressed, and I am totally blown away. Hugs to all, and all the best!  Joey + Paul Bday Boy “

Joey, you know what? Actually Alex slug told me just now that you are one of the nicest customers we’ve ever had too.. He was so touched that at the end of the party, you actually helped the staff to pack up.. You were also so concerned that the staff would have to stay late and they may be exhausted ..  So truly, the pleasure was all ours! Here’s a toast from The Garden Slug to you and Paul, wishing you both lots of health and happiness!

Chocolates from Joey

The chocolates were divine! Thank you for making our day :-)
