Singapore Art Festival kicked off on 14th May Fryday with the Singapore City up in flame! An Invitation to Dream - A Fire Garden Installation, practically put the city back into a medieval era! Haunting, mysterious, and awfully awesome! I wish I've brought my cloak and walked down the Esplanade Park with my hood on! It was so cool!
If you're interested, today is the last day of the Fire Garden Installation that starts at 6:30pm. Start from the Empress Place, and visit the Treasury of the World: Jewelled Arts of India in the Age of the Mughals at the Asian Civilisations Museum around 7pm to get a coupon to exchange for a free ice cream!(Entrance to the museum is free for this 3 days from 5pm onwards)
When you come out from the museum, the whole place would have been transformed into a witch-hunt/track-down-this-murderer-he-must-be-found kinda atmosphere. Make your way slowly through the Esplanade Park to enjoy more flame and some haunting music as per shown in the next photo. Great guitar playing, very gypsy like! I really felt like I was walking in a dream-like planet. Vision of Mirror Mask, Esmeralda and even Mina came into mind, a camp fire war like scene.... I was utterly exhilarated!
Make your way across to the esplanade and if you're lucky, stop by the Coca-Cola tent to grab a free Coke! And if you still have the strength, you can walk all the way to the Helix Bridge, cross into the Marina Sand Bay, and relax with a cup of ice coffee at Coffee Bean at the basement!
My 3rd post in less then 24 hours! I wish today could last forever!
