Wow, Singapore is the top place to visit in 2015 as nominated by the Lonely Planet. Guess - Mrupupup knows why - because Singapore celebrates its 50th birthday next year in 2015. There will be many celebrations and parties to attend to remember a small red dot on the map as Singapore survived for 50 years in the world stage. Impressive small little country. There are many things to do in Singapore. The country has 'quirky' attractions like the Singapore Gardens by the Bay (the expensive Gardens with two cool conservatories), multi-culture and many religions in harmony with each other. The Sports Hub attracting big sports events. However, Mrupupup hopes that the Sports Hub fixes the sandy field in the stadium. There many sporting events to look forward like the Southeast Asian Games. Singapore is 50 years old. Time to celebrate and remember the progress the country made.

Mrupupup recently went to Penang Malaysia. Well, for Mrupupup, the street art painted on the walls of Penang's historic Georgetown was something quite fascinating. Georgetown in Penang is an UNESCO heritage site filled with very nice old houses and small alleys that came with surprises of interesting street art. The street art in Georgetown made Mrupupup happy for it shows that art could liven up the place and brings an interesting perspective to life. Go to the historic Georgetown and find the street art in lanes like Armenian Street, Chulia Street, Love Lane, and some other streets! It would be fun to do that in Penang! And take many cool pictures! Who want some buns?   Look out for the mouse!       Mrupupup's favourite - of the mouse hiding from the big cat!

Mrupupup got the chance to attend the preview Chingay 2014 show at the Singapore F1 pit area. Thanks to the organisers! The Chingay 2014 show was really nice. The theme of diverse cultures and family managed to pull the 'heartstrings' of the audience.  Mrupupup enjoyed the various performances and colourful display of lights and costumes. Only in Singapore could the many races and diverse cultures be on display for people to enjoy in the Chingay Parade show. As this year 2014 was the year of the Horse, there was even a huge replica horse. Great Chingay 2014!                    

Mrupupup had great fun attending the Countdown Party at Marina Bay Area Singapore. Countdown TV50 concert was held to celebrate TV's 50 years of Singapore Television. Mrupupup enjoyed the concert with special TV actors like Phua Chua Kang, Cast from City Beat, Under one Roof and great boy band "the Wanted" from United Kingdom and of course Superstar Mr Wang Lee Hom (the most popular singer that night)! Mediacorp held the 5 hour showcase of TV 'live' celebrations, going through the best moments of television in Singapore. Great event, Mediacorp! The Countdown TV50 at the Marina Bay platform also showcased the most exciting fireworks Mrupupup had seen in Singapore - very nice and visually stunning fireworks matched with nice background music. Mrupupup took photos of the fireworks and the ever colourful 'wishing' balls in the Marina Bay area. Nice pictures and video below. Mrupupup wants to thank URA for sponsoring the Countdown TV50 concert tickets! H

River Hong Bao 2013 is an event that happens annually during Chinese New Year in Singapore. Well, Mrupupup loved to go River Hong Bao which was held along the Marina Bay area. Mrupupup loved to see the colourful lighting structures. Mrupupup thought this year's light up was quite nice and enjoyed throwing coins at the bell. Mrupupup managed to hit the bell twice. The bells rang to signal Mrupupup would be rich via business (haha- just a wish)! Ok, Mrupupup hopes to be rich in 2013! Happy Lunar New Year 2013. Managed to struck the bells twice with coins. Would be rich! Live Pig cooked! Live performances on stage

Brilliant flares were up in the sky off East Coast Park Singapore on 1 January 2013. Mrupupup was at the East Coast Park to witness the brilliant flares up in the sky to celebrate the New Year 2013 by the ships parked off the east coast of Singapore. The flares were very nice and in colours of red or white. A great way to kick off the new year in Singapore. At the east coast, Mrupupup could also see the fireworks from the Marina Bay area. Great and better year ahead for 2013!
