I'm super excited to share with all of you the iLight Festival happening right now at Marina Bay! I'm always on a lookout for things I can do in Singapore without spending too much money; like visiting museums or second hand stores.
The whole night trail was such a refreshing experience. Those light installations were so beautiful to be seen in the dark; my camera did not do them justice at all!
I did not finish the entire trail. Here are some of the installations I managed to capture to the best of my ability:
The Light Dam by Uno Lai |
Deck Journey by Zulkifle Mahmod |
These are deck chairs placed along the waterfront. It only lights up when someone seats on it! Super energy saving!
5QUID by Ryf Zaini |
This giant squid like object that responds by lighting up in rainbow colours when its sensor is waved at. Super pretty in reality. A must see!
The Gate by Li Hui |
This one has to be everyone's favourite. It's mysterious and reminds me of secret agent movies. The emitted laser is real! Literally burns when stared into directly.
See! Everyone was so curious over this installation. Including me! (looking like I have chicken pox.)

Free coffee?! *DANCES* |
Yep. Free, hot Nescafé for you and your friend as you make your way through the trail.
Bibigloo by Bibi |
An igloo made out of 250 jerry cans (used to contain fuel)! The artist intended his creation to raise awareness about global warning and melting ice caps. Very thoughtful of him.
The inside is lighted by a network of light bulbs.
Coral Garden by Olivia d' Aboville |
No doubt this has to be my favourite. My photos doesn't do them justice at all. They're arranged in little clusters across the field.

Ending off with my outfit of the day.
