By now everyone would probably have known about the currently ongoing yearly night festival. This is the 8th time this event of arts is held in Singapore.The Night Fest will be held for 2 consecutive weekends - 21st & 22nd Aug and the week after, 28th and 29th August.
The guides and pamphlets provide detailed information on the art installments plus lets you know what's going on for the night!
Grab your handy dandy guide books/pamphlets because they're super useful! You can also view or print the online version via their website HERE.
We tried out Momolato's Australian Mango sorbet popsicle. Refreshing!
I brought my sisters for the first week's exhibitions. We did arrive quite late into the night (9++pm) at Bras Basah MRT Station and by then, a throng of crowd had already gathered to watch some performance in front of the Singapore Art Museum. We gave it a pass since there were too many people.
Mirror bombs - So bling bling
The first arts showcase we went to was at the Chapel in SAM. The place was so mesmerising. Lots of people were taking selfies under these lights and from my pic, you could see that most of them were mesmerised by them. LOL
Project Dreamcatchers 2015 illustrates what it's like to live with chronic illness.
The entrance to Project Dreamcatchers was lovely and different as we were guided by a trail of blue paper planes.
Wall of paper planes with was popular for selfies.
Secret Message
We Are Family.
My favourite installment from The Learning Gallery - Once Upon This Island was The Hidden Dimension II. It's a video/animation of a family going about their daily habits until they were interrupted by something which made them all stop at the same time in different parts of the house. You gotta catch the dad taking potato chips out of his mouth as the video loops backwards. XD
Some of my favourite scenes from 'Cabinet'
Titled 'Cabinet', this is one of my favourites. There were these rows of what seem like lockers with holes and light in them. Upon a peek into these holes, there were very detailed scenes. Everyone of them shows an entirely different world.
'No More Tears Mr Lee' was made with 8000 plastic bottle shampoo caps, a nice play of Johnson's baby products.
Love the handcut design [HDB Corridor - Faster apply for your pie in the sky]
We surrrender! Kidding.
One of the most instagram-ed photo/video are of The Anooki! - these hyper Inuits running across our National Museum. I managed to get my instagram-worthy video as well :p
Our exploration was limited to SAM as we wanted to catch the last train home :) It was something new for my sisters
The museums are also open till late (up till 1am for most) so it will be something different than your usual late night hangouts :) There are also activities, light installations, shows and concerts! For me, I'll definitely be coming again this weekend as I still havent finish exploring and seeing everything. Heh :D
Today was the first time I created a burger for myself at Macs! If you're wondering where you can do this, there are currently 2 outlets in Singapore which you can do so. One is at JEM in Jurong East and the other is in Safra Yishun.
Create your taste step-by-step
Check out the video:
Heh i look young right? I was playing with this before the food arrived. http://how-old.net/
The process of ordering is very simple and most likely you'll be guided by a helpful McDonalds staff. :) (I was told that the Swiss cheese has a nutty taste, the Colby cheese is creamy and the Pepper Jack is creamy too but with a bit of spicy kick to it.)
You don't even have to go to the counter to collect your order.
You will get a tracking device in which you're supposed to place on your table (there's a sensor underneath every table) so that they will know where to send your food.
We did the mistake of putting our tracking device by the windowsill haha. noobs.
You could add on $2 to get it as a meal. Look at how the fries were served!
Prices start from $8.95 (ala-carte)
and if you're adventurous, it could fetch be quite expensive considering it's for a mcdonalds burger.
The receipt. I only added mushrooms to 'make it tastier' which costs an additional $0.60.
Food will be sent right to your table. Macs is so hipster now, reminds me of a cafe.
If you can't decide what to order, you can also try one of their signature creations:
I would recommend anyone to try it at least once and see if you like it! :) i hope that macs offer more variety in the meat choices so that my friends who don't eat beef could enjoy creating their own burger as well. Heh.
And if you're feeling extra hungry, be like this guy:
Time to charge up and spend time with our loved ones and family.
