#springitinerary When I stood by Marina Bay, the view took my breath away. The tall buildings, the calm water and the open space where The Float used to be. The Float at Marina Bay was a floating stage situated on the Marina Reservoir, known for hosting significant events such as the National Day Parade and the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics ceremonies. The upcoming National Day Parade (NDP) in 2025, marking Singapore's 60th year of independence (SG60), will be held across both The Padang and the Marina Bay area. #JammersTheExplorer #singapore #TheFloatPadang

The artist of the artwork is a Singapore renowned artist. The art work talks about the six pillars that formed the tropical palm. It wants to illustrate that nature and the urban environment do co-exist with one another. You may see things that you have overlooked , but then they do exist together in this place.

#newyearnewtrip You can find the mother and child sculpture opposite at the Padang field area. It is a huge sculpture with a very meaningful story behind it. The local artist got inspired by the humanity of the people. Most of his art work revolves around fostering good relationships among people. The local artists not only have created one mother and child art work, but several here in Singapore and other art work around the world. You can see that the mother is holding the child tightly, and the child is trying to stay strong and tall, which means that the child wants to have his independence and freedom. Be sure to read the sculpture information there, to better understand the art work.

#mysgmemories Getting tickets to the NDP preview is like winning a lottery ticket! Even when the Padang is very crowded, we managed to get seated by 5pm after collecting the NDP goodie bag. Crowd control was well done and there wasn’t any pushing or overcrowding. The goodie bag includes a bottle of water, snacks, sanitizer, tattoos & a mini flag. The show started at 5.30pm and we enjoyed watching it live. Everyone was singing along to the NDP songs & making the “kallang waves” was the fun part. Loved the whole experience and the NDP vibes. We enjoyed the show and had fun throughout the show!

#singapore I went to check out the colourful and larger-than-life bubbles at the Padang one afternoon, an immersive installation called “Ephemeral” that acts as a metaphor for life which “is beautiful because it is momentary”, according to its artist Atelier Sisu.
