The time you all have been waiting for, OOTD huntsmans has returned! This time we promise you a 100% satisfactory Instagram-worthy spot. We bring to you *drumrolls... the

ADM BUILDING.

It is the NTU’s iconic School of Art, Design and Media. If you have no idea about it, GOOGLE now!

We are dedicating the first part of this post solely to the highlight of this building, its verdant turfed roof. Yes, you can climb it. Good news for you, we climb it so that you wouldn’t have to. Unless you plan to conquer the “mountain” for your OOTD photos.

Just look at the greenery and scenic background view it has.

Even at the foot of the mountain you can take OOTD shots with lush green lawn as background. You can time your photoshoots to even coincide with the sprinklers.

A personal favourite of mine is the (never-ending) stairs that leads to the peak of the mountain. The curvature of the stairs can make a simple Instagram photo look chic. From a side angle, the backdrop also showcases the pastel blue sky as well as the classy building behind.

Have fun with your shots. Lin Yuan helped herself to a spot on the lawn. It’s perfect for some candid and nature-theme photos.

*Just looking at the greens can do your heart good like it did to Lin Yuan.

Here is a photo to commemorate Lin Yuan and Daniel in successfully reaching the roof top.

If you would like to take an Instagram worthy photo at the rooftop, just remember that you probably would have to convince someone to climb with you. However, we present to you another alternative. You can take an OOTD shot of the rooftop from inside the ADM building. Isn’t it cool?

Remember to tag us at #uniquelifeOOTD. We are curious what kind unique Instagram photos you can take.

This is not all ADM has to offer. Stay tune for Part II with more updates.

OOTD Spot #3 - Part I

Here is your part 2 of OOTD Spot #2.

The number 1 selling point is the classy and modern interior design with glass curtain walls. Besides, there is also a café located there. The comfy sofas, reflective tables, scenery and ambience can add points to your photos.

Featuring Lin Yuan who is trying to convince us she is not being emo.

Due to the difficulty of optimizing the natural lighting, we have deemed this location to be not “user-friendly” for OOTD. However, the reflective glass curtain walls can still be used for insta-worthy pictures.

Instead of taking an OOTD, you could take a close-up shot with the reflection.

Most importantly, there is aircon! You can take numerous pictures without breaking a sweat. Besides, this location is also great for studying. Look at K-Cia and Lin Yuan ~~posing~~ ahem.. I mean studying.

If you didn’t know, this place is just like Alice’s wonderland. There is a door in the “wall” that is commonly overlooked. The exterior foyer is a great place for OOTD as well as studying. The natural light shines directly at the bench, illuminating your photos.

There is often display of students’ works. We snapped a picture with the makeshift see-through screen as the background. There is other quirky furniture as well.

Note: The best is not over. This place is usually VACANT! Take lots of OOTD without feeling embarrassed!

Let’s end off with a photo of the back view of Daniel staring into the distance.

We are committed to find more insta-worthy OOTD spots for you. "Painful though parting be, I bow to you as I see you off to distant clouds" ~by Emperor Saga

OOTD Spot #2 - Part II

Here is your part 2 of OOTD Spot #2. The number 1 selling point is the classy and modern interior design with glass curtain walls....

#1 - TheLupsup

Everywhere you go, you can see this one person wearing singlet and slippers. By "everywhere", I literally mean everywhere. Be it in lecture theatres, canteen for breakfast, lunch, dinner and every meet-ups. Sometimes you wonder if he has any other clothes. Presents you can consider to buy for him include proper clothes.

#2 - The Casual

Better than the lupsup, you can see more of students dressed more casually like this guy, although the colour of the shirt may vary, its the same type of t-shirt that he wears, just different colours. LOL.

Normally accompanied with a pair of sneakers or slippers

#3 - The Semi Formal

Occurrence of seeing someone dressed like that: Rare. You hardly see anyone wear a polo tee with shorts in school. Matching this with a pair of jeans has a higher sighting but then again polo tee with any pants is a rare sight in school.

#4 - The Clubber Siao

Occurrence of seeing someone dressed like that: Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights. *Awak Awak Awak* Well its the standard guy attire for nights like this.

#5 - The Formal

You seldom see students dressed like this at the earlier part of the year. When you see them dressed like this, you see hordes of them. It means PRESENTATIONS are here. Yes, marketing presentation, OB presentation, all sorts of presentations. And almost everyone has the standard white top with business shoes.

#6 - The Wayang Formal

Well the only difference you can see from #5TheFormal is that he puts a suit over it. Yes these types of students spoil the market. Some profs mentioned for the presentation to be in smart casual and you see people coming with suits. Not to forget they include a tie attached to it too. Formal business shoes are a must, some package themselves with a branded watch to up the marketing game.

OOTD huntsmans is back! This time we are featuring Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine in NTU. You would most probably have heard of Lee Kong Chian LT, but not the Experimental Medicine Building. If you have never heard about or seen the building, it is time to step foot inside. Follow me!

Even though the campus rider stops right outside the building, we still suggest you walk from the quad. It’s a secret passageway filled with wonderful sights. If you are a freshie, you might not be aware. We used to have Café by the Quad located next to the School of Biological Science. This is what it used to look like.

Source: Memoirs of Food

A blessing in disguise. Now that it is vacant, it serves as an Instagram-worthy OOTD spot. The natural lighting there makes it easy to find the perfect angle for a well-lit photo.

Besides, it also provides a serene environment for you to study, provided it is not an extremely sunny day.

Another reason why the Quad route is suggested is because of the bridge. You will know what I mean when you walk up the stairs. The bridge has a modern yet simple theme. Despite it looking perfect for OOTD, it is quite different to take advantage of the lighting.

As you step into the building, you are welcomed by nothing…. except space.

Stay tune for Part 2 for a comprehensive write up while we will bring you for a tour inside.

We have good news for you! We are officially launching a project called “OOTD Huntsman”. Firstly, we will be sourcing for OOTD-worthy places in the campus so that you would not have to.

The first star of this project is Hall 3 located in NTU! If you ever pass by Hall 3, you might think it is a condominium. There are lots of textured stone wall for a basic and minimalistic background. It can provide a versatile background with a modern or vintage theme. What’s better is that the natural lighting great too.

Be creative, you can take photos by the staircases and more. Look at this fun shot we took, featuring Daniel. Doesn’t this look like a holiday in Thailand? P.S. we are not encouraging any dangerous stunts. If you ever explore this area for your OOTD, do not forget to tag us at #uniquelifeOOTD on Instagram.

This short post is only an appetizer. Stay tune for more awesome updates coming your way. 😊
