Blue Man Group- Enemy of Monotony, Remedy for Boredom, Promoter of Overjoy and Elation

By

Presented by Nick Grace Management, Lunchbox Theatrical Group, Sliding Doors Entertainment and BASE Entertainment Asia; Jacqueline and I caught the Blue Man Group at the Marina Bay Sands Mastercard Theatres 3 days ago and it was such a splendid performance that there was never a dull moment from start till end and we totally enjoyed ourselves that delightful evening.

Honestly, it’s been a long while since we last attended a performance like this and we really like how the Blue Man Group captivated the audiences with their humorous and interactive antics. While most of the musical entertainment were mainly instrumental rock with no vocals, it got us rocking and swaying with the crowds anyway.

In case you’re wondering; Blue Man Group is comedy, theatre, rock concert and dance party all rolled into one and for the first time in Singapore, this global phenomenon will blow audiences away with their high energy show. Now approaching their 25th year of creativity, this artistic group has been a smash hit off Broadway and on the Las Vegas Strip and cannot wait to redefine entertainment in Singapore.

We must also say, the backstage crew were certainly well coordinated and the lighting effects were out of the ordinary. There were a lot of 3D digital effects application and they were certainly very mesmerising.

So what can you expect out of the Blue Man Group?

Blue Man Group creates experiences that defy categorisation, taking the audience on a journey that is funny, intelligent and visually stunning, culminating in the trademark Blue Man Group finale in a blissful party atmosphere. Blue Man Group is accompanied by a live band whose tribal rhythms help drive the show to its unforgettable climax.

 

Awesome and hilarious show! Highly recommended. Because partying on Friday is too mainstream! 😛 #bluemangroup #bluemanselfie

Having captivated 35 million people worldwide across 15 countries, don’t miss this opportunity to catch the Blue Man Group because it will definitely be the treat of a lifetime!

Reconnect with your inner child, re-experience mischievousness and sheer joy, and see what fun three guys can have with 30 litres of paint and 55 mashed-up bananas in the space of an hour and a half!

A Review of Totem by Cirque Du Soleil That’s Showing in Singapore Now

By

It wasn’t my first time to a circus performance but it was definitely my first to watch a circus performance by Cirque Du Soleil. Entitled, “Totem”, the touring show by Cirque Du Soleil depicts the evolution of humanity from its primordial, amphibian state toward the aspiration of flight, taking inspiration from many of humanity’s founding myths.

To some, circus performances may seem to be the same but what is really unique about Totem is that there is a storyline behind every acrobatic acts. The acrobatic acts were at times mystical but also thrilling and a delight to watch. Every heart-stopping stunts were well-synchronised with the live music performed by the band and it is no surprise that all the performers received an overwhelming standing ovation from the audience during the finale.

The costumes used in the performance were intricately designed and they were inspired by Mother Nature. Interactive projection technologies are used in the show to enhance and provide variety to the types of scenes created for Totem, including swamps, starry nights, lakes, volcanos, and other natural environments.

If you are going to watch Totem by Cirque Du Soleil, here are some fun facts that you might want to look out for during the show!

Fun Fact #1
The Crystal Man’s stretch velvet leotard is encrusted with nearly 4,500 reflective components; 4,001 are mirror fragments. This costume is the show’s heaviest, weighing nearly four kilograms.

Fun Fact #2
During the Scientist’s juggling act, he uses balls made with 96 red, 96 blue, and 96 green LED lights inside. The colours are changed remotely by show technicians during the performance.

Fun Fact #3
A major component of the set is the “scorpion bridge”, which functions as an entrance at times. It is made of 4,500 kg of steel and has eight mineral oil hydraulic motors which allow it to move in three dimensions.

Quoting what a friend of mine shared, “Singapore always do have great shows from time to time” and truly, this is one show that you do not want to miss because it is not every time that we have a circus performance by Cirque Du Soleil here in Singapore. In fact, the last time they were here to perform in Singapore was in 2005; exactly one decade (ten years) ago.

Tickets to Totem by Cirque Du Soleil starts from SGD$98 and if you’re a Mobile One (M1) Subscriber, you can get a 15% discount off the ticket prices. Just present the M1 logo on your mobile phone or your M1 mobile phone bill when purchasing your tickets at the SISTIC counters.

If you can afford to spend more but don’t want to burn a big hole in your pockets and still get a best view of the performance, we recommend that you get the CAT 4 tickets with seats in block 103 and 104.

One thing that we feel Cirque Du Soleil could improve on is to increase the distance and space between each seats so that it will be more comfortable for the audience.

Well, watching a circus performance by Cirque Du Soleil should definitely be one of your bucket list of things-to-do in your lifetime. Have you got that checked? If not, hurry and book your tickets as the touring show by Cirque Du Soleil will only be here till 6 December 2015!

[2015 Movie Review]- Our Times 我的少女時代

By

It has been half a year since I last caught a movie at the cinema and last weekend, Jacqueline and I caught the movie, “Our Times” (also known as 我的少女時代 in Mandarin) at Golden Village (Tampines Mall).

Released in Singapore on 22 October 2015, we were rather surprised that tickets to “Our Times” were selling like hotcakes and because the movie was so popular, we had to go for an unpopular time slot that’s way past midnight just to catch the movie.

Our Times Movie Review

Many people might draw some similarities between You Are The Apple Of My Eye (那些年，我們一起追的女孩) and Our Times but they are actually quite different from one another. Although both movies are set in a school , one has a happy ending while the other does not.

A word of advise here, there are many touching moments in Our Times and you will definitely want to bring along some tissues in case you find yourself sobbing uncontrollably (yes, I’m exaggerating but you never know). Watching this movie has certainly reminded me of the awesome times I had when I was a teenager and I really do miss those growing up days. As I do not want to spill the beans too much, I won’t be elaborating much about the movie but what I can say is that, it is a movie I wouldn’t mind watching a second time.

Watched the movie and love it? You can keep yourself updated with the latest news about the movie on Our Times Official Facebook Page!

http://www.facebook.com/OurTimesOfficial

Our Times Movie Synopsis

We all had to live through and rise above the awkward years in high school, and regardless how long it may have been a distant past you wish to forget, there’s always a beautiful memory somewhere waiting to be awakened. A joyful moment that truly belongs to you. An ordinary high school girl Lin Truly (played by Vivian Sung) pines over the most popular guy in school Ouyang Extraordinary (played by Dino Lee). The school’s troublemaker Hsu Taiyu (played by Ta Lu Wang) falls for the prettiest girl in school Tao Minmin (played by Dewi Chien). Together, Truly and Taiyu, work through misadventures to help each other win their dream dates. Through this youthful rite of passage, their friendship evolves and they learn a thing or two about true love.

[Sponsored Post]- Tiger Beer Makes Big Election Promises for Singapore’s 50th Year of Independence

By

Singapore’s most iconic brew receives a makeover, invites the public to cast their vote, and throws the Unofficial Official Party of SG50!
On our nation’s golden jubilee year and to celebrate the 50th year since Tiger Beer released its first can to the world, Tiger Beer has lined up a slew of events and activities to commemorate this milestone in the nation’s history.

Image Credits to Tiger Beer Singapore Facebook Page

To uncage the nation from the usual celebrations, Singapore’s Unofficial Official favourite local beer will present a fresh take on how National Day is celebrated by throwing its own epic National Day party, replete with surprising and remarkably unusual party elements.

Truly a party for the people, it puts the power in the hands of the people by getting Singaporeans to vote for what they want to see at their party; the wackier the better.

Tiger Beer will kick off the voting period for the Unofficial Official party of SG50 from 22 June, with the release of a video that will encourage the public to cast their votes to see their favourite party highlights come to life, and also offer them the intriguing possibility of contributing new suggestions.

Eschewing the typical SG50 festivities in favour of something fresh, unique and original; party-goers can look forward to party elements that are recognisably Singaporean and reminiscent of the annual National Day Parade, yet completely unexpected. Imagine a parade flypast done by aerial drones, trishaw massage chairs, beanbags for relaxation that look like giant ‘chope’ tissue packets, or even a chili-crab fountain! The possibilities are endless.

Image Credits to Tiger Beer Singapore Facebook Page

Those above the age of 18 can cast their votes at two mobile polling stations located at Knightsbridge on 4 July and One Raffles Place on 9 July, and as well as online via the microsite at tigerbeer.com.sg. Every vote counts and it will directly influence what makes up the party that Tiger Beer will be throwing for Singapore.

Tickets to the party cannot be purchased and only those who participate in the voting process will stand a chance to win tickets to the most coveted party of the year.

Voting will close on 19 July and those eligible to win tickets will be notified. Party-goers will then see the winning highlights appear at the party.

To top this all off, the party will be headlined by two international music acts that will be performing at the party. Audiences can look forward to the catchy party anthems performed by 4-piece indie-rock band, The Griswolds. Hailing from Sydney, Australia, this will be the up-and-coming quartet’s first time performing in Singapore.

The climax of the party will come with the appearance of a surprise international music act. The identity of the celebrated British alternative band will be revealed shortly.

Just so you know, the party will be held at the newly-refurbished Capitol Theatre, itself a beloved Singapore icon and the grande dame of the city’s cultural heritage, and it will be the first event of this scale to be held at the landmark location. Given the Capitol Theatre’s longstanding legacy for entertainment in Singapore, it is the fitting venue of choice.

[Attraction Review]- The Newly-Revamped Singapore Omni-Theatre @ Science Centre

By

It has been more than a decade since I was last at the Singapore Omni-Theatre and recently, Jacqueline and I were invited to a special preview of the newly-revamped Singapore Omni-Theatre.

Established in 1987, the Omni-Theatre is Singapore’s only IMAX dome theatre. The 248-seat theatre is equipped with state-of-the-art IMAX technology which delivers the world’s most immersive experience. This is possible through the combination of specially-designed facilities and quality large format films.

When we were there, we had the privilege of watching a fulldome live show and the digital fulldome movie, “Back to the Moon for Good”.

I must say, having watched both the live show and the movie, I was so extremely immersed into the movie that when I stood up after the movie, my head felt like it was spinning. If you are bringing children to the Omni-Theatre to catch a live show or movie, do ensure that they do not walk about or stand up midway as they might get a little giddy and accidentally fall down the steps.

This is a picture taken when the live show was ongoing. Like I said, it is a really immersive experience; such that even when the theatre was dark, our camera can still capture the really clear image.

Apart from the truly immersive experience, I was very much amazed with the clarity of the projection and the crisp audio coming from the audio speakers. Just so you know, the Omni-Theatre’s interior was also re-carpeted and the seats re-upholstered. Hence, they are really comfortable!

The educational films offered cover genres such as science, space, nature, animals, marine life, culture, natural disasters and more.

With the latest digital fulldome system, live shows with topical and real-time presentations on space science can be conducted by the Science Educators from the Singapore Science Centre; using the Digistar 5 software and 8K projection system that delivers unrivalled digital resolution and brightness.

With Southeast Asia’s largest seamless dome screen, specially designed seating configuration, surround-sound effects, and the world’s latest and brightest 8K digital theatre system, the Omni-Theatre is definitely set to offer the most immersive learning experiences. For all you know, it might probably be Singapore’s best venue for edutainment.

If you are interested to find out more about the movies that are currently showing at the Singapore Omni-Theatre, click here.

#Sponsored Post [Attraction Review]- Trapped SG, Real Life Escape Room

By

A few weeks back, we were at Trapped SG to have an experience of the real life escape room they offer and it was our first time playing an escape room that is horror-themed. Just so you know, anything that is horror-themed isn’t our cup of tea and hence, this review might be quite bias.

Introduction

We arrived at Trapped SG rather early and we had the usual routine briefing that was conducted by the staff. We were told what we could do and what we couldn’t do inside the escape room and how we could seek for assistance if we could not solve a clue. Background information of the escape room was also given to us and we then proceeded to enter the World War 3 [Zombie Edition] escape room.

Our Experience In The World War 3 [Zombie Edition] Escape Room

Despite the staff telling us that there were no jump scares inside the escape room, we had a hard time being convinced and as a result, we wasted a lot of time making wrong decisions due to our clouded judgments. However, we have to admit that some of the clues weren’t even logical at all and it led us to the wrong track.


[Image Credits to Shennyyang]

During our experience in the escape room, we had to make multiple assumptions and carry out multiple trials and errors. There were some clues that weren’t so straightforward and in the end, we only managed to get out just in time with the assistance and guidance from the staff.

Conclusion

Out of a scale of 5 stars, we will give 2.5 stars to Trapped SG.

If you are a seasoned player of escape rooms, you will probably find the props slightly below expectations but if you are a total newbie, it will be an entirely new experience that might get you hooked to playing escape rooms.

Though not the best escape room that we have been to so far, Trapped SG is decent enough to provide an entertaining gaming experience for new gamers.
