Singapore Night Festival 2015! ♥
Please clap for me because I didn't expect myself to write a article for KAvenyou!! Anyway it's gonna be up tomorrow night @ KAvenyou.com, but I'm gonna post here first HAHA From KAvenyou.com: The annual Singapore Night Festival is back, with its 8th year. This time round with more exciting shows and beautiful art installations for everyone! Singapore Night Festival currently features over 60 festival partners, and is now one of the region’s most anticipated annual events. As a museum-goer myself and also once a volunteer assistant for Singapore Night Festival a few years back, I always make it a point to visit the annual event, if I can! So for readers who went for the Night Fest in previous weekends, I’m sure you had a great time just like me! And for those who did not manage to attend the Night Fest, it is okay, because I will do a short coverage for you! :) The Singapore Night Festival runs for 2 weekends, Friday and Saturday, 7PM-2AM. 21 & 22 August, and 28 & 29 August. Both weekends are almost the same, except that there are certain shows happening only on that particular day! Singapore Night Festival consist of 5 zones. From National Museum of Singapore, Armenian Street (Peranakan Museum, Sub-Station & Armenian Street), House of Glamour at Cathay Green, Festival Village at Singapore Management University (SMU) and Singapore Art Museum. All the places are of walkable distance between each other, so it is very convenient for the public.   From KAvenyou.com: So before we get all ready to visit the museums and the various art installations, we had our tummies filled up at the Festival Village! The food that I was looking forward to was Soi 55 that sells awesome Thai beverages such as milk tea, rose milk tea and green milk tea!! And also The Quarters with their salted egg fries and chilli crab mantou! ;3 Festival Village has a variation of food, from snacks to mains to dessert, such as churros, satay-in-a-cup, macaroni, chicken kebab, tiramisu and creamsicles! FINALLY I got my cravings fix for SOI 55!!!!! Their thai milk tea is awesome! Never fails to drink that whenever they appear for night market / events XD   
From KAvenyou.com: As this year is the golden jubilee of Singapore (SG50), the world’s smallest Inuits, Anooki was also here at the National Museum of Singapore as they pay a special birthday tribute to Singapore! ^^;
    From KAvenyou.com: Different zones have different art galleries and installations, apart from the temporary art exhibitions that was set up to the special light installations just for the Night Festival! We went to the Armenian Church to see the light installation, titled Hanami by Clee Mastoc Production (France). This light installation is inspired by Hanami, the Japanese tradition of celebrating the transient beauty of cherry blossoms each spring.       From KAvenyou.com: Right after that, we went to Philatelic Museum to look at stamps!! Uh erm but I think that's my first visit to Philatelic Museum HAHA XDXD                   From KAvenyou.com: One of the good things about the Night Festival is that all the museums are FREE for that period of time! So don’t worry about having to pay extra just to visit museums! XD National Design Centre at Queen Street also had its own light installation titled ‘Pixels Wave 2015’ by Michael Chevaliar in collaboration with Carolyn Kan and Depression, co-presented by Design Singapore Council. ‘Pixels Wave 2015’ is about a giant light carpet that changes colour and form. Everyone was sitting on the floor and taking photos as the pattern changes from time to time!      Went Kapok to get a drink as well, with LED cube inside! We thought it's an ice cube or something but we realized it doesn't melt at all LOL So it's there for the visual thats all HAHA      From KAvenyou.com: The main highlight for the night (IMO) would probably be the ‘Garden of Angels’ by Theater Tol from Belgium! It was a 25 minutes show and everyone was awed by their performance!      From KAvenyou.com: We then went to the Peranakan Museum for the light installation titled ‘Illuminate’ by the students from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. It is definitely a party / club-ish gallery because of the glow-in-the-dark outfits designed by the students and the club music that was playing in that small little room! XD It's so funny because we didn't know there's this light exhibition at Peranakan Museum and I told Zhen we should go off because we've been there like a few times and the galleries are always the same LOL Then Zhen search online and realized the Illumination exhibition is right at Peranakan Museum LOL So we made our way back HAHAHAHA         Pretty awesome night fest (minus the crowd at Festival Village) Always have this 'feel' whenever I'm back at 8Q, so much memories over there! And also being one of the staff for Night Lights!!! ^^; BBYONG!  |
