Arts for Life

National Arts Council has recently launch “ArtsForLife” campaign. It seeks to promotes the value and importance of the Arts. There are two videos which Daddy hope to share, and maybe inspire.

Artists Kamal and Ruoshi are a couple, and they share how Arts bring families and communities together.

We first came across Sam Kang Li as the Tampines photographer, even PM Lee mention him during National Day Rally! Kang Li use photography to break the ice, and he even hosted a void deck gallery, featuring all his “neighbours”.

To quote from ArtsForLife’s Mission :

1. To raise awareness of the powerful potential of the arts to transform and enrich lives

2. To show everyone that the arts is already a part of everyday life

3. To encourage Singaporeans from all walks of life to participate and volunteer in the artistic development of our nation

4. To help the many committed arts groups and artists who, through the works they create, are contributing to enhancing the quality of life and tightening of social bonds within our communities and nation

5. To make Singapore a more vibrant and colourful city!

Candle Night 2012

Who say candlelight is only for Romantics?
We were there at Merlion Park in 2011 and enjoy the candlelight ambience.

Candle Night 2012 happened last Sat, we met Tan family and Hong Peng again (same like 2011).

Our family enjoy the tour, watching the Merlion and the Mid-Autumn moon. It was also an event to celebrate Merlion’s 40th birthday.

Kids can diy their own lanterns, or draw some cartoons. Participants were invited to bring their lanterns too. MidAutumn celebration would be bland without mooncakes, lanterns or sparklers :p

The Merlion with it’s spray, and the boats are always a welcome distraction 🙂

When it turns dark, we light up our lanterns. This is the highlight for the kids.

We slowly make our way one along Merlion Park, and look at the other lighting installations.

Click for more CandleLight photos, and our 2011 experience. Click for Hong Peng’s review too.

In case this is your first visit to our blog, we wish to share more activities around Marina Bay.
