iLight Marina Bay 2014 - Asia’s Only Sustainable Light Art Festival

ABBEY : iLight Festival drew more and more visitors every after exhibition. And the light installations are getting better and better. It was displayed from The Promontory up to the The Esplanade. So it is a long walk for the visitors but they will enjoy them. The displays were divided to 2 paths.

Path A includes The Pool, Happy Croco, Wishing Tree, Lightscape Catcher, Floating Hearts, Joujou-Ours (Bear heads), The Guardian Angels (made from watering cans), Fool's Gold etc.

Some of the installations that attracted me on path B are Giant Dandelions, Cloud, 1,26 Singapore, Digital Wattle, The Wheels of Industry (pedal on to light up) and Celebration of life (A story projected in Art Science Museum).

We're looking forward for the next set of exhibits on the coming years.

WILL: Are you one of the people here in Singapore working just along the vicinity of Marina Bay Sands? Well, I am not! Haha! I am from Tanjong Pagar area and I always make a way to go to Marina Bay once iLight announced the opening of its event.

Instead of the usual that we always start at Merlion Park, that day we went first to Marina Bay Sands for a dinner at PasarBella. Then after fueling for a long walk, we went to Marina Galley to get some maps while waiting for sun sets for the exhibit to light up.

We walked out from Marina Bay Gallery once the evening hit Singapore. We started to take some photos from the huggable bears, to the floating hearts, colorful “the Pool”. I like the most at Route A is the Wishing Tree of The Living Project. I wished for money that time and on the following day, my husband received an unexpected performance bonus. Haha! Answered very fast.

Route B starts form the Helix Bridge to all the way up to Esplanade Area. My favorite here is the ArtScience Museum turned into a big screen and the floating football field opened for 1.26 Singapore installation. It nice to lie down and stare to the exhibit from below.

iLight 2014 hit Marina Bay way better than previous years. Thanks guys for the emails for keeping us updated regarding this event.

See you next-next year!

Todai Restaurant at Marina Bay Sands Singapore

ABBEY: Todai restaurant offers buffet of Korean, Chinese,  Japanese, and Singaporean cuisine. We visited them last March at The Shoppes@Marina Bay Sands along with our housemates. 

As usual, we come at the exact time. Never waste a minute during buffets :) 

As starter, I had chicken karaage and fries; the chicken was crispy and juicy. Next, I indulge in salmon sashimi and inari. Then I got some skinny pizza and pasta along with chunk of pork belly and slice of steak. The meat was juicy and moist. I repeated the process until I'm full :) 

Since Todai is celebrating Korean Strawberry Festival when we doned in, we got a complimentary strawberry shake. One person costs 68sgd for a Sunday dinner with free flow of drinks.

WILL: Are you craving for sushi and yet your sweet tooth is kicking also? One plate or two serving will not satisfy your drooling? Todai will be the answer for you.

After Abbey bought his dream iPad mini on the first IT Show of 2014, we immediately headed to Todai to meet up our housemates for the dinner. 

Hastily went for tempura. Then I attacked their sushi. They are the best. 

The chefs really thought really hard for their masterpieces. Over and over and over, I ate those sushis. Haha. I also got one round of fresh oysters. 

Hail to their great pyramid of macarons. I really make my tummy full of those and I partnered it with a tea. 

Thanks to our housemates for inving us for a dinner. Till next, next month guys! 

Nike Flyknit Airmax 2014 - His and Her Shoes

ABBEY: My classmates during my elementary days used to discuss and boast about their shoes. That was the time Airmax was added in my vocabulary. But still I'm not keen on buying one since that was too expensive. Being blessed and having some change to spare, I got the red 2013 Airmax; very comfortable. 

So as a gift to Wil, I planned to buy her a pair. Only I came to know when I was about to buy that they have released their Flyknit version. Since the 2014 airmax color is pale, I ended up buying Flyknit with the striking colors :) She was surprised but I got the more of it when I went home and saw I have my own. Still the same comfort is there but more air and lightness on the shoes.

WILL: I am puzzled when Abbey always tells me that his 2013 airmax gave him a such comfort and he suggested that I should buy one in replacement of my 2 year old running shoes. I affirmed the idea but I know that I am not ready to splurge on things like this. 

Before Hearts' day of 2014 came, husband gave me the 2014 Nike Flyknit Airmax. Instead to give thanks, face-to-face asked him how much it costs, he answered "Mura lang.". Then I say my thank you after his response.

Everytime I wear my new shoes, Abbey always admires the color. And I really sensed that he likes to have one too. Haha!
