Romancing U - Bonding Under The Stars

The Promontory @ Marina Bay
South, Singapore
19 April 2014

It was a special evening at Romancing U by the scenic Marina Bay Waterfront...

The programme for the night...



Weather was good but the field was bare and muddy in certain spots, probably from too much trampling, and the rain earlier. There were about a dozen booths altogether with couple shots, complimentary snacks and arts and crafts. Busy throughout, these booths offered the dating couples a chance to bond together through common activities.

 

Photogenic moments at the three types of couple shots - LED blinking balloons,
sparklers, and a white vintage car...



 

 

 

Bonding through craft with your special one...

 

For more food options, there was Kerbside Gourmet, with its friendly and upbeat staff...

Queuing to ride the Love Boat where a guide takes the couples
for a short walk along the bay before ascending the waiting boats...

 

Snuggle together to watch Midnight In Paris under the stars...

 Thank you for the romance, U Family...

The Solitary Street Lamp By The River

Singapore River
South, Singapore
March 2014

In a busy part of Singapore River, hundreds mill about in their reverie - with their friends, drinks in hand, catching up with their friends. It was a cool windy evening.

Amidst the Ladies' Night crowd, a solitary street lamp stands silent - casting its unwavering glow on the bicycles parked beneath it, keeping them safe in its warm sphere...

i Light Marina Bay - Installations (Bedazzled)

Bedazzled 

• By Meinhardt Light Studio (MLS), Singapore
• Location :  Lower boardwalk, near Mist Walk beside Marina Bay Sands
• Co-created with Luxlight Pte Ltd, Strongly Pte Ltd, Metalmek Asia and Traxon Technologies / OSRAM

As a city grows, the amount of light that is switched on during the night also increases. Lighting provides visibility for us to conduct our activities and is an attractive benefit for our communities. While light gives us a feeling of safety or even excitement, we also miss the dark starry skies without the interference of city lights.

Initial wonder as it was the only shielded white light in a darkened walkway...

Bedazzled brings people closer to the natural starry night sky that has been gradually lost due to light pollution. Experience the wonder of stars in a truly dark sky with animated constellations as you step into the installation, showcasing the importance of the richness that the universe offers and what we can offer the universe in return.

Doesn't this look just like a visit to a giant hair salon? 

Meinhardt Light Studio (MLS) Pte. Ltd. is an independent specialist lighting design consultancy providing a complete lighting design service. Specialising in architectural and urban integration, innovative natural day lighting and artificial lighting, MLS’ environmental design philosophy aims to integrate and accentuate lighting as part of the whole spatial experience.

When inside the giant lamp, the lights are hypnotically mesmerizing...
reminiscent of constellations and stars far far away...



(Pssst... Do try speaking when you are standing inside

and have some fun with the parabola sound effect!)

i Light Marina Bay - Installations (The Wishing Tree)

The Wishing Tree 

• By Allan Lim, Kenny Eng and Sun Yu-li from The Living! Project, Singapore
• Location :  Marina Bay Sands, side entrance of Marina Bay Shoppes

The Wishing! Tree represents the positive hopes and dreams of visitors wishing the best for our world. It encourages everyone to imagine what their perfect world could be like and wish for it on the tree.

The Living! Project was the first Asian country to be invited to present a site specific installation for the world famous Fête des lumières, in Lyon, France in 2012. Conceived by Allan Lim and Kenny Eng with renowned Singapore sculptor Sun Yu-li, The Living! Project aims to draw direct connections between an individual’s action with the needs of a sustainable urban city through the intensive use of recycled materials and involving the community to create positive social behavioural change.

 

Make a wish for the world - by writing your wish on a lighted ultraviolet strip

and tossing it up into the tree branches to create its leaves...

 

Like Eywa in James Cameron's Avatar, The Wishing Tree shows each and every visitor the responsibility he/she has to create a sustainable world by involving the community and empowering him/her to live in harmony with other living creatures that share our world...

Our every little action counts...
