Amazing, AMAZING , watch this ….

O, what a night it was… I didn’t expect Singapore to have events like the Night Festival and it turned out great. As usual, everything was well organized. There were security and traffic controls along the street. The only unfortunate thing was a slight drizzle.

There were stalls selling food, clothes, accessories, cards, caricature, games and features. One of the highlight was a fully grown man sitting inside a tiny doll house. We can post him letters through the mailbox outside the doll house.

To start the night off, we watched the movie ‘Hairspray’ over the large screen (under the Banyan Tree). It was fun and enjoyable except for the wet grass. The best thing about watching it here is that you can see people dancing along with the movie.

This was immediately followed by the lighting up of both the national museum and the art museum. The façade of the museums were transformed into a beautiful backdrop for the lights. You can then see some dancers approaching the front of the national museum followed by music from ‘Bloco Singapura’. That’s when the party came alive… woo hoo….

On the opposite side of the road, a party organized by Zouk, 'Beatnik Party' was starting and the music was becoming louder. Naturally, we headed towards it. There were also cheerleaders performing and more tents offering various things.

Dancing and enjoying the music, history and lights, it was soon time to go back. I can’t wait for the next event. Till then, ciao….

Pirates of The …..

I was browsing through my friend’s Facebook and I came across a wonderful photo, but it was her caption that caught my attention. You’ll enjoy this if you enjoyed watching Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Carribean! :)

All in the name of ….

The one thing that brought us together was our love for musical and arts in general (And food but that’s another story :)). The first musical we attended together was at Istana Budaya. The concert hall was large and the show was good with lots of singing and dancing. The story is about high school love and dance which we could relate to.


When we were in Melbourne, we also visited Museums and plays. People there tend to really dress up for their major plays which was pretty interesting. And by dressing up, I mean grand evening gowns and suits (It’s probably due to the weather too. It was winter).

Another interesting thing that I can’t seem to find over here are theatre restaurants whereby we can have a 4 or 5 course meal while watching a live theatre performance. The closest would be Crazy Horse which has now closed. The experience was great, though we missed the ending as we had to catch the last tram back home.



When I came to Singapore, I found that the Esplanade offered a good variety of performances too. And lately the government has promoted/organized some events. Some are fashion shows, street shows, water shows and now a performance in the air. The last one I attended was at Clarke Quay and I am hoping to catch the next one at the National Museum of Singapore this weekend! :)





See you over there….
