Merlion Hotel - how close can you get to our Merlion?

The artist (Tatzu Nishi) box up our Merlion, during Singapore Biennale 2011. A night's stay is worth $150, but all 32 nights are snared. In the day, we can hug Merlion, and try to imagine soaking yourself in a bathtub, with MarinaBaySands in your "window".

The red Merlion Hotel draws a lot of attention. Entrance is Free :)

People are queuing before 10am opening. You might have more time to explore Merlion Hotel during weekdays.

This is the view to kill for, but Daddy is worried about privacy. Everybody can peep and see what you are doing haha.

There was a bit of haze, blocking the Marina Bay view.

This might be the only time Merlion become a Hotel, and you can literally "Hug" Merlion.

Singaporeans will always wonder why Merlion is so popular with tourists ??

If you are around the corner, why not say hello to Singapore's mascot :)

Video : Xin running to meet her Merlion idol

Singapore Biennale 2011's theme is "Open house", you might want to visit other "arts" venue too (Anyone going to Kallang Airport?)

**Singapore Biennale updates --> http://www.singaporebiennale.org/venues.php

We headed to Biennale's Kallang Airport too !!

M1 Singapore Fringe Festival - School of Hard Knocks gallery of Old Playgrounds

You know we have been running to old playgrounds, recollecting some "old" memories.

Daddy drop by Esplanade Tunnel the other day, to gather more research materials.
Under M1 Singapore Fringe Festival, LittleDromStore came up with "School of Hard Knocks", bringing you Singapore's oldest playgrounds.

School of Hard Knock's Playground exhibition will end on 23Jan. If you are nearby, why not bring your kids there to brag about your childhood experience? (Daddy agree with LittleDromStore that the older-generation is more rugged, and our "rough" playground played an important role )

From the gallery, it was obvious that old playground got their own identity.
The design themes were either fruits or animals.

..like the Hokkien will quote "Got Dragon got Tiger" - wu(3) leng(2) wu(3) hou(4).

Will our kids remember their own playgrounds 30 years on?
(plastic and rubber?). Daddy Andy can still remember his old playground, and the games we played around our playground.
