Mrupupup attended the Arts Stage Singapore 2016 at Marina Bay Sands exhibition halls. The Art Stage Singapore 16 brought all the major galleries to show case their artists' work. The works of arts were really diverse and interesting. It was a great visual arts feast and this flagship event was the sixth edition.          There were works of arts from major countries like Japan, Indonesia, China, USA, Australia and etc. 173 galleries from 37 countries joined in this arts exhibition. However, there was a greater focus on South East Asian art. Well, the pieces could be really expensive like $200,000 for large Chinese man art to small pieces that costs $5000. Some of the pieces were thought provoking and stimulate Mrupupup's tiny brain cells. Mrupupup is not an artist but just interested in expanding the horizons of thought (Hope So!). The art exhibition was not cheap and costs $32 per person for entry and lasted four days in January 2016. Lucky got some kind sponsor for the entr

Commando Challenge run was not the normal type of 6km run. Commando Challenge was a tough run that involves clearing high walls, soaking through an ice pond, electrifying obstacles (with real voltage!), scaling curved walls while trying to complete a 6km run in Sentosa. Really tough run, definitely Mrupupup was super tired the next day after the run. Mrupupup finished the Commando Challenge - Haha, all the way.... yeah, go go go go ! Check out the photos of 2015 Commando Challenge held along Sentosa's Siloso and Tanjong beaches.  Good challenging run! Great fun and tough run - not the normal run. Need to train for it and also expensive at $85 per person for 6km. There was also a Extreme Commando Challenge - meaning two loops run and carrying a 15km bag along the way (really tougher!). In groups braving through the electric voltage wires for the final finish Watching people finish through the final stage of electric shock  Huge relief Yeah I complete the Cha

Super awesome day with so much food

Mrupupup had a nice time at District 10 Bar & Grill at Suntec City Tower 2 Singapore (near to the taxi stand at the ground floor). District 10 serves great food at decent prices. Mrupupup tasted a variety of wines from the Italian Zonin Wines - red wine, white wine and dessert wines. Mrupupup loved the slowly roasted beef and is their signature dish. The beef was awesome and so juicy. Apparently, the special beef sat in an aeroplane, exported to Singapore, placed in a fridge (imported from Italy at the cost of $22,000!) and dry aged. Very nice beef! The Italian chef also prepared for the group a special pasta with duck meat. Very refined food with excellent Italian touches. Reminded me of Mrupupup's recent trip to Italy. The dessert served was also excellent. The berry tart dessert was served with generous portions of gold on top of the berry tart. Enjoyed the wines during the night. District 10 Grill & Bar is a cosy place. Mrupupup loved the one thing for the nig
