OOTD Spot #4

After starring iconic ADM building in our previous post, many have strongly urged us to do a write-up on the Hive, and so we did. The OOTD huntsmans is officially presenting another NTU’s iconic building, The DimSum Hive. Let’s admit it, if you have never step foot in it, it does looks like… you know.

The Hive is indeed a treasure trove. Prepare to be awed when you step in. Unless you have already been there countless time. Although the whole building looks unique on the inside, not any and everywhere is suitable for an insta-worthy OOTD. Note: reflective glasses, lack of natural lighting and overcrowding of people makes it exceptionally difficult to take awesome OOTD shots.

Nevertheless, there are some hidden places we found. Firstly, the library. The rule of silence must be observed in the library. However, there is no rule saying you cannot take OOTD shots in the quiet zone. And so we did.

 Let’s assume that K-cia is genuinely doing work, and I coincidentally snap an OOTD worthy picture. Hive’s library is one of the places that is air-conditioned and super comfy for sleeping… studying. 

We also managed to find a chair matching Shirleen outfit’s colour scheme. We did this while maintaining silence. Studious student enjoying a book about Big Data for IT. To the point she has mastered the art of reading the book upside down.

Next stop is very specifically, the second highest floor. The building is generally suffering from lack of sunlight, except for the highest 2 floors. However, we do find that this particular level has more space for Instagram worthy pictures.

For instance, the stone statue. It provides a basic yet modern background. You can even stand or sit on the steps. Best of all, sufficient natural lighting!

 You can also take pictures at the edge.

Finding props to take OOTD with.

Another great spot is the space near the elevators. It provides the sand/Egyptian basic background to make your outfits stand out.

Lastly, the stairs is another recommended OOTD spot. Do note that you have to suitable stairs with lighting.

 There is actually a lot of angle for you to experiment with. Even if you do not want to take OOTD, you can still take Instagram worthy photos.

Let me end off by sharing more of K-cia’s photos. She looks really happy to see those plants. This really makes us think what is happening to students’ life.
