EXHIBITION | About Routes, Not Roots
Singapore is considered one of the youngest countries in the world, but our heritage is more than just the number of years since our independence. With the use of machine-learning technology by DASSAD, photographer Lim Kwong Ling uses video art comprising his work and the works of other artists such as Dave Lim, Adar Ng, and Woong Soak Teng that depict globalisation and how hard labour made Singapore what it is today.

FUN | HydroDash
Fancy a Wipeout-style challenge? Check out HydroDash at Sentosa’s Palawan Beach. Every participant has two hours on the inflatable water park to run, jump, and slide around hysterically while burning many calories because it is much harder than it looks. Don’t worry, the course is safe, especially with the life jackets provided. Just remember to wear contacts because glasses are not allowed for safety reasons.
