Trick Eye Museum Resorts World Sentosa

[ Media Invite ]

When did Boon Kang learn to do a hand stand!

Trick Eye Museum (트릭아이미술관) first started in Korea in 2010. Daddy has seen some of his friends’ wacky photos from Trick Eye Museum Korea.

From the Museum’s name itself, we know this Museum is trying to trick you with optical illusion. Oh, you do not need to understand Korean to pose silly :p

Come 08 June, Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) will host Trick Eye Museum’s first overseas branch. Hooray, we do not need to fly to Korea for some wacky photo op.

At Trick Eye Museum, we can pose and interact with 3D posters and paintings to achieve some hilarious portraits. There are over 80 photos in RWS’ Trick Eye Museum, including a Merlion!

Remember our Hong Kong Madam Tussauds trip, we had so much Fun posing with VIPs. At Trick Eye Museum, you MUST remember to have Fun and it is ok for people to stare.

Ouch, be careful of the hot volcano Lava.

Artistic painting Starry Night.

Initially, it is quite hard to pose and “imagine” the outcome. Fortunately, our friendly hunks and babes (red attire) help guide us on the postures.

The younger kids will find it hard to coordinate as they do not understand the Fuss. The trick is to read the instruction before you take the photo.

Then you can proceed to more “confusing poses”, maybe upside down like a tandem jump.

or avoiding the Viper !

A pity the Panda was always too far away to touch…

We heard this Baby is Trick Eye Museum’s first feature. And you are most welcome to crawl inside the bird cage. Wonder why Daddy always chose the smelly wrong end?

This is not for pole-dancing.

More Fun photos ! What is cooking for dinner?

Oh, this one is gross. Our guide encouraged Boon Kang to Jab the backside!

Multi-Racial bench, and cute Puss In Boots behind.

You Scream, I Scream (and I pull down your pants too !)

Daddy took 4 lessons to teach Kang to cycle, pretty Model taught him unicycle in 1 min !
And they need to balance over the canyon too.

Pole balancing, do not slip ! When did Boon Kang became so brave? He was enjoying posing at all the exhibits.

Kiss and Tell, Daddy warn kids not to reveal too much to Mummy.

Somehow, the models always look sexier in their poses, and it is not an optical illusion.

Daddy cannot dance like “The Singing Butler”.

Boon Kang must be a Yoga master, he can levitate!

Merlion and Mermaid.

Daddy was game to do a split in his tutu, we did not know he had ballet foundation :p

It is ok to enjoy yourself, no need to bother about stares 🙂

This “Giant via Goliath” room is always popular. Children can now be taller than their parents.

Fly with wings, sleigh and bloom ! Hogwart here we come.

We found the pitiful matchstick girl too.

Do an image-Google “Eye Trick Korea” for more funny poses and models.
The circled ones would be Epic!

Thank you RWS and Trick Eye Museum for hosting us, our family had so much Fun, there were so much opportunities to express ourselves. Everyone was giggling at their own silly poses.

Before we forget, do watch out for the deep well at the entrance !

Tips for first time visitors to Trick Eye Museum :

– Ticketing : $25 Adults (aged 13-59), $20 Child (aged 4 to 12), $20 Senior Citizens (aged 60+) Enjoy 50% discount off tickets from 08 to 22 June (opening promotion)

– opening hours from 10am to 9pm

– Look at the poster next to photo/prop for photo instruction
If still confuse, orientate your camera according to the instruction (90 or 180 clockwise example) to glimpse the “final” perspective. Then, get your model to position themselves.

– Ensure you are standing on “photo-spot” (marker on the floor) and snap. This will ensure you capture the full 3D effect and perspective.

– Daddy’s kit 18-55 lens was not wide enough for some shots. You might wish to consider a wide-angle lens or landscape with your mobile phone. (we recommend flash too as the kids are too active to stay still)

– Trick Eye Museum will be rotating it’s exhibits every six months to encourage return visits

– For the ladies, we need to “climb”, “crawl” and “stretch” to get into the correct position. Avoid skirts and low cut as you do not wish to expose yourself unintentionally. Daddy find it awkward to bend his inflexible 1.8m frame for certain poses 🙂

Universal Studios Singapore for family

[ Media Invite ]

Far Far Away in Shrek’s kingdom, we found Universal Studios Singapore (USS). It was here that we embark on a Easter Egg Hunt earlier. The next best thing after the Fun egg hunt, we get to experience USS’ rides earlier.

There are seven worlds in Universal Studios, but there is only one ride which you cannot miss (Pop by USS interactive map here)
Uss Map, USS 7 worlds

Before the crowd stream in at 10am, we dashed with Cheekiemonkies towards the Transformers 3D ride. (Normal waiting time can be 45mins + of winding queues)

Transformer The Ride rocks ! We spin, drift and smash through buildings ! We must protect Allspark at all cost. After a while, we are absorbed into the 3D Transformer world, and completely lose our orientation.
Transformer 3D ride Singapore, Uss Transformer

Transformer The Ride is the coolest 3D ride that we have ever experienced, that’s us in the blue Autobot (Evac) trying to run away from Decepticon! (Experience 4.5/5)

Optimus Prime and Bumblebee gladly welcome photo-ops with humans. They look cool.

In the background, the blue and red Galactica, not so cool anymore, since it will be dismantled soon. (experience 5*/5, catch hair raising video clip here)
Galactica closure, Galactica last ride

Daddy role play as Treasure Hunter with the smaller kids. Creepy crawlies, cobras and crocodiles waiting to ambush passengers.

Everyone is thrilled to throttle their own car.

(Experience for kids 3.5/5)

Tall, muscular and sexy Egyptians at Ancient Egypt.

Those who have seen Mummies will be able to identify the Egyptian demi-gods.

In terms of interaction, you cannot get a wetter experience than Waterworld !
For best exposure experience, grab a seat in the Blue Zone.

The spectators will get a chance to spray water at the actors too.

.. but the actors got pails! Pity those who are seated in the front rows as they become fair games and torrents of water were splash in their direction!

Our kids remarked that they will love to sit front row again. Crazy but wacky fun, even Daddy’s DSLR was not spared from the water attack.

Watch our video below on how Boon Yee and Boon Xin got drenched.
How to get wet at USS Waterworld

Acrobatics and all sorts of boats engage each other, there are plenty of pyrotechnics.

(Experience 4.5/5, for water fun and cool interaction)

Even Jurasic Park’s Rapids Adventure is less “wet” than Waterworld. We had expected a lot more splash and thrills.

If only the fall is steeper and longer…
pimp myspace with Gickr
(Experience 4/5)

Poor T-Rex terrorised by kids, they can always entertain themselves.

Jurassic park or Lost world, a pity the queue for Canopy Flyer is so long!
(Experience 4.25/5, but we refuse to queue 1 hour for a 1 min ride)

Shrek 4D, follow Shrek as he raced with Donkey to save Princess Fiona.
(Experience 3.75/5)

Madagascar carousel, we got to Move-It Move-It with the nasty Auntie, Alex, Marty, Melman, Gloria, penguins and King Julian.

(Experience 3.25/5)

We float around in a crate, and discover the Madagascar stars hiding in the shipwreck.

(Experience 3/5)

Minions everywhere, even Boon Yee is in Yellow! There is a dedicated Minion outlet in “Hollywood” now.
Minions Souvenirs Universal Studios

Sesame Street Spaghetti Space Chase, it would be fun if we can help Big Bird shoot down the enemies.

(Experience 3/5)

We have been playing at USS since 9am, kids are tired but we are determined to catch
Hollywood Dream Parade at 5pm.
