Sketching at home during the Pandemic - Organised Mess.
A recent piece done of a small section of the Singapore River. Pat spent the first four years of his life living along this river, so this place is nostalgic for him.
Starbucks at the lobby of Mount Elizabeth (Novena) hospital, while waiting for Jan who was getting a small procedure done. Sketching calms his anxiety.

A few months prior to entering EAST in 2010, alumnus Patrick Ng’s beloved mother passed away. Then while adjusting to seminary studies, he was also coordinating his home renovation and caring for two young school going children (Kyrie and Ryan). Pat was then diagnosed with a learning disability – Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). He went through a bout of depression while trying to cope with his ADD amidst his studies.

Alumna Jessie Suciati has recently relocated back to Singapore with her three children, daughter Shannah (14), and twin boys Reuel (10) which means “friend of God” in Hebrew, and Leeron (10) which means “my song”, after being away in Jarkarta for the past four years. Her husband Gene Tan serves as a Colonel in the Singapore Armed Forces and since their early days of marriage, they have moved from places to places due to different military assignments received.
On 4 March 2022, last Friday, EAST Family gathered for a fun day. The faculty, students and staff, old & young, the Avengers, the cast of Lord of the Ring, and even Moses came with his umbrella. We had songs, laughter and even a dance. Teams were grouped with unique names like “Baby Shark” and “Three Blind Mice”. We were entertained by the Myanmar Trio (Zaini, Yoe Yoe & Ta Eh), the Bahasa Boy Band headed by Choon Voon the dancing king, a Gregorian chant by none other than our Dr Lewis Winkler and a romantic ballad by our resident crooner Roy Tan.
