It's another year of Singapore Night Festival! This is the 9th times that Singapore is holding this event at Bras Basah! I had been to this event last year and I really enjoyed a lot, especially with the awesome food and the interesting exhibit around. I'm quite surprised that it's the 9th year already as I only get to know of this event last year. In this post, I will be show the places I had went and will focus more on the exclusive exhibition that only happen in this year's Singapore Night Festival!
LET THE JOURNEY BEGINNNN...
(At the Festival Village)
So, the first place I had visited is the Festival village around SMU Campus! This area is like an Atas Version "Pasar Malam" where great food, music and artwork meets! They are selling a lot of different trendy items, yummy but overpriced food and they is also a photo booth! There are also various performances by the local musician at the Festival village stage.

The atmosphere here is simply AMAZING, it give me a very cosy feeling! The performances and lighting really lighten up the atmosphere in this area. If only Singapore's weather is cooler it will be so much better. Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable experience!

After enjoying all the great food and performances, I went to the National Museum of Singapore. The weather was so warm that I can't wait to go indoor to catch the cold air first!
Before entering the National Museum, I was caught up by the amazing light show at the doorstep of the museum. It is the KEYFRAMES brought by Groupe LAPS. The display was so cool that I just can't bring myself to enter the Museum.

If you take a closer look, you will realised that this exhibit is making use of simple lightings. However, it managed to caught the attention of the visitor and entertained many people including myself.

(Build Your Own Singapore Night Festival 2017)
This campaign is to encourage visitor to contribute to next year's night festival. Simply by purchasing the lego at $2, visitor will be able to fund the festival in a unique way. I'm actually surprise that they are many people who went up and donate. This show how much people supports the artwork in Singapore! That is very touching to know.
(Night Lights: Shifting Interations)
Here is a performances by LASALLE's students. The students use props with their dance move together with the music. It was an interesting performance as it make use of sound, light and dances to present a series of perfomanes.

Next the Festival Village that is located at Armenian Street!
(Armenian Street)
There are many interesting programme at the Armenian Street which includes the Peranakan Museum Variety Show by Main Wayang. They were performing some interesting songs that made in Singapore, tourist can get to know more about Singapore just by the lyrics in the song and it actually give me a "Ge Tai" feel.

Within the Armenian street, there are many different alleys. Out of all, I love this alley as the lighting, graffiti walls and the building is simply amazing!

(A Kaleidoscope of Spring by Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts)
This exhibit is from very own our NAFA's students! I love how the way they present it with the projector light with all the design, which really brings out the Peranakan Nyonya feel. Before taking a closer look, I didn't even realised that this exhibit made use of lightings from the projectors! This is another exhibit that make use of simple instruments but brings out a very unique experience in the night festival.

Next up.. The Singapore Art Museum! The idea is so smart to use the building as the backdrop, I remember last year's National Museum also used this way to project a short animation. This exhibits caught a lot of visitors' attention as the show is very interacting.

(The Very Wishing Story - The Waterfalls, The Cave and The Forest by Wei, Sum Qian Yu)

To me this looks like a wishing waterfall with all the lights on the floor means all the wishing that the people had wished for. People just stop using phone and form shapes and letters with the lights.
