HIGHLIGHTS THAT YOU SHOULDN’T MISS

Just want to chill and not run around chasing after each programme? Here are the must-see activities.

Be wow-ed by Theater Tol’s latest performance! A vibrant parade starting from Armenian Street brings to life a surreal world of dancers, musicians, flowers and animals that take to the streets in revelry. The parade culminates at the National Museum of Singapore, with a spectacular aerial carousel of angels descending from the heavens and showering gifts over everyone.

Pixels Wave 2015 by Miguel Chevalier (France) at National Design Centre

Take flight on this giant light carpet inside the National Design Centre, featuring multi-coloured graphic scenes and geometric patterns that react to visitor movement and interaction. A collaboration between artist Miguel Chevalier and local designers Carrie K and Depression, this new creative work utilises optical illusion to create the sensation of a shifting kaleidoscopic floor. Totally #Instaworthy!

The Local People X Singapore Art Museum Night Fest Art Market

This Saturday, the ever popular The Local People X Singapore Art Museum Night Fest Art Market is back again with an even bigger treasure trove of locally made artisanal goods, food and drinks. It’s for ONE NIGHT ONLY people! So head on down, get lost in the music, treat your mouth and shop shop shop!

Food Glorious Food

Churros by Bakes and Crafts at Festive Village

Trust us when we say that these are a must-try when you head down to the village this year! They serve 3 main flavours – Pandan Churros with Gula Melaka Sauce, Red Velvet Churros with Salted Caramel Sauce and the classic Churros coated with cinnamon sugar. We highly recommend the Pandan with Gula Melaka flavour, it’s the bomb!

Creamsicles by Neh Neh Pop at Festive Village

Double-coated creamsicles packed with outrageous flavours! Grab these pops before they go *pop*, they are super popular with festival goers and there were only 2 flavours left towards the end of the first night last weekend! Flavours to chiong for are the Mango Sticky Rice and Milo Dinosaur!

Crispy Roast Pork by Uncle G’s Handmade at Festive Village

In for something savoury? Go for Uncle G’s Handmade Signature Crispy Roast Pork! Though we didn’t try this dish personally, we’ve heard so many people rave about it and the never-ending queue really speaks for itself.

The Anooki (Anook and Nooki) are the world’s smallest Inuits! Watch these adorable characters come to live and run riot across the facade of the National Museum in a story specially created for the festival. Dance and sing along to their irresistible tune and soak up their contagious energy.

Drawn in Light by Ralf Westerhof (Netherlands) at National Museum

This 12-metre-wide installation is made from metal wires, hand-bent into the form of a typical Amsterdam-style canal building. The sculpture not only reflects light but also hovers and rotates above the ground, inviting visitor interaction.

Alchemy by Starlight Alchemy (Singapore) at Singapore Art Museum

“File check”!

If that didn’t send a shudder down your body, you’re honestly a trooper. For the rest of you, Teenage magazine is here to alleviate your stress.

We’ve got a list of quiet cafes in Singapore for you to escape to for some R&R, food you can snack on to help relieve stress (yes, it’s true!) as well as steps you can take to get a good night’s rest.

There’s no better way to talk about your problems than to sing it aloud – much like how cover girl Selena Gomez has been singing about her relationship with Bieber. We list the other issues she should wax lyrical about to shut the rumour mills down once and for all.

Plus, we pit the biggest K-pop groups against each other in the most explosive summer comeback showdown. Fans of Girls’ Generation, GOT7, Beast, SISTAR, Teen Top, Super Junior, Infinite, AOA and Girls’ Day need to pick up this issue, stat!

Can’t get enough of BIGBANG? Neither can we! Find out what you missed out in their concerts around the region.

PS: We’ve also included posters of Selena Gomez and Beast in this issue.
