SamaSama Sketch – Capturing The Sights Of Ipoh Before Merdeka Day

Alice Ng with son Ivan Tong with their sketches of Ipoh Railway Station 
It was nice scene seeing people of all ages, literally from children to the seniors, came out for fun filled day of…..SKETCHING.

When I checked at 10am that morning there were 141 registered participant. Each participant received an A4 sketch book to get started.



The participants were required to sketch 5 locations
All they had to do was sketch 5 locations along the heritage trail and win a prize for their effort. The five locations were Ipoh Railway Station, Masjid Negeri, Chung Thye Phin Building /Arlene House, Han Chin Pet Soo and Jalan Sultan Iskandar.


SamaSama Sketch was just of several events organized by state tourism chairman in collaboration with Urban Sketchers Ipoh as part of the Merdeka and Malaysia Day celebrations.

For most of the participants like Jack Chong it was a pleasure to take part in this event and possibly promote Ipoh.

For Alice Ng who was sketching with her son Ivan Tong it was natural. “With National Day around the corner it is natural for participants to want to come out to indulge in the mood and celebrate” said Ng who is from Hong Kong.



Young and old came fully prepared 

How true. Natural, relaxed and serene that was the scene that I encountered with all the groups when sketching.

natural and relaxed was the event for all who came .....
