Weekend activities ~ March school holiday

This March school holiday are full of events, as many would have know there's the Art Zoo happening at Floating platform. Quite a few friends went with children to enjoy the giant inflatable balloon set up. When I first get to know the event I also wanted to ask Hubby to bring me go. But after much thought I decided to give it a miss. Reason being there will be full of children and parents, you will in the end knock into someone without knowing and accident may happened. Especially with the clumpy me for those who know. Secondly if I want to go there is for what purpose? Take photo? Well it will be just too crowded and bouncy that I wouldn't end up with good photos. So Ok shall give it a miss. 

But not to worried, there's still a few events going on that I wouldn't miss. One of it is the ilight Marina Bay. We went last year, this is our 2nd year going for the event. Basically are the lighting art installation that we will be looking for. We started walking from Marina Square down to Fullerton Hotel. For the Merlion as the first stop, this year Merlion has got a new lighting on it. 

Well as per expected with lots of Singaporean and Tourist all crowded there taking photo with our Merlion. Just be extra careful with your belongings, I basically was just carrying my handphone taking photos. 

Some photos of my Merlion...





We continue walk down towards Fullerton Hotel, where there's a few lighting installation. A tree and some flowers before we go for our 1st toilet break at the hotel. Another tips is to bring extra water with you, as you know walking such a long way in Singapore's weather you wouldn't want to dehydrate yourself. Although there's places where you can buy drinks but it also quite expensive.

We then continue walking down towards Marina Bay, there's a few more lighting installation along the way. Some I didn't bother to take any photos, as it didn't turn out well in picture. Example: Eyeballs.....hummmmm 

Of cause if you search on the internet, you will see lots of people taking photo with the moonflower. I was hoping to take nice photo of the moonflower as you can see from  photo I got from Channel newsasia.... 

Photo source from: Channel newsasia

But in fact what you see is full of people in your photo, you simply can't get a nice big plot land full of moonflower photo without people in it.



I can only try my best to get a small plot of land like this....


The funniest part was when the moonflower light turns blue, you start to hear the ladies around you start screaming "Ah!!! Oh!!! WOW!!! Faster!!! Take photo!!! Hurry up!!!" I just quickly take another few shoot of the flowers and left the place. 


The next favourite spot will be the glowing rubber band. Pretty interesting to how the glowing rubber bands will turn out in your photos. Many people taking photos of it as well as selfie. Everyone was just trying to get their best artistic photo with the rubber bands. 



The other interesting lighting installation photo.







One of the installation you will see people queuing, well you do what people do. We queue also loh....What you will be queuing for is I call it the "onion head"....Once you get into one of it...you start to think how should my photo be? People start to use their best artistic angle to take photo, but we were there keep asking ourselves take what huh? Then being a Singaporean, I die die must have a photo of me in the "onion head". So that's how my photo looks like. LOL! 



We ended at Marina Bay Sand, super tired, wanted to go for a drink but the mall is also crowded with people thus we decided to go home straight. It was a great walk at night taking photo at the same time. If you have nothing to do you can go for a walk just like us.
