caught one of the performances and checked almost half the exhibits, keeping the remaining half for next week if i'm still in the mood to go jalan jalan... 😁

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[ Part II - 27 Aug ]

Happiness is when mx jio-ed me for Night Fest and we started our jalan jalan with a romantic trishaw ride in the rain... 😅😅😅

"uncle, please make sure the whole trishaw is within frame okay?  谢谢 U! " 😂😂😂


it's a small world after all... i know you, you know her, she knows him, he knows me... 😂😂😂


by right, we planned to look look see see this light installation @ Stamford Arts Centre then proceed to the other installations at Bras Basah.Bugis, arts & heritage district, and finally ending at Dhoby Ghaut area 

but by left, we spent more than an hour participating and enjoying the many free drop-in activities & performances that Stamford Arts Centre was hosting: 


very 民歌餐厅... i like... would have stayed longer if the room could accommodate more people... 




eeeee... niam niam one... 


proud of our little contribution to the big big rongoli though i super dislike the niam niam feeling... 



enjoyed the performance by SwaRhythm Ensemble lots lots... keyboard, guitar, er-hu, violin, flute, Indian & Chinese drums... so interesting, a melting pot of musical instruments played by musicians of diverse cultures & races in all 4 songs they performed... 


still drizzling when we finally started on our walk-about @ 10.50pm 


@ Waterloo Centre



@ National Design Centre






@ Bras Basah Complex

googled and was super disappointed to find out that mac @ bras basah had closed down since 2019 liao... but the thought of having hot fudge lingered on on my whole train journey back home... so was double super disappointed when i made a detour to mac @ hougang village only to be informed that all ice-cream were sold out le... 😭😭😭

craving for sweet food in the middle of the night!!! ... 
all mx's fault!!! 😅😅😅

happy happy to spot this pack of chocolate drink at home which had just expired 37 minutes ago... 😂😂😂
