Review: Walking With Dinosaurs Opening Night in Singapore

After 65 million years, the dinosaurs are back! 

Walking With Dinosaurs – The Live Experience is based on the award-winning BBC Television series, they have roared into Singapore Indoor Stadium from now till 8 September 2019.

Walking With Dinosaurs has been seen by over 9 million people in more than 250 cities around the world. I'm so happy to have the opportunity to catch the biggest and best dinosaur show in Singapore.

Date: From now to 8 September 2019 (Sunday) 

Venue: Singapore Indoor Stadium

Duration: 1 hour 40 minutes (with 20 minutes interval) 

Showtime: Wed-Thu: 7pm / Fri: 3pm & 7pm / Sat-Sun: 10.30am, 2.30pm & 6.30pm

Ticket price: From $78 to $148 

Ticket can be purchase from Sports Hub.

Thanks Tracy for the photos. Just nice the 4 of us were sitting in the same section (different seats), we took this opportunity for a photo.

I brought Tracy along with me for the show, both of us were so looking forward for the show. We always watched dinosaurs from television or movies, but it was our first time "Walking with Dinosaurs" at a close up.

The documentary show was narrated by Huxley, the palaeontologist, who tells the story of the greatest pre-historic creatures ever to walk the earth.

The show featured 18 life-sized dinosaurs making use of state-of-the-art technology in a $20 million production. 

Walking With Dinosaurs is a must-see live arena experience for audiences of all ages, the young ones will love it especially. It showcased the nature documentary of the dinosaurs and satisfied our curiosity of how the dinosaurs behave before they were extinct. It was as though history has come alive.

The audience sitting at the front will have opportunity to get up close with the dinosaurs, get ready for interactive time with the dinosaurs.

Just like other animals, the dinosaurs can get nasty and fight with one and other if the other dinosaurs hurt their little ones. I guess that is the instinct of all parents, a natural reaction that all of us have. It was heart warming watching the connections of their familial bonds.

The fiercest fight, it got us feeling thrilled while watching their battle. It captured our imagination of the dinosaur battle.

Here comes the famous Tyrannosaurus (T-Rex) that everybody is waiting for. It is the largest and fearsome among the dinosaur species. It did made a roaring entrance.

It was an entertaining night Walking With Dinosaurs. Traces of the history of dinosaurs can be found in the show. Take some time off your schedule and bring your little kids for this engaging show, I'm sure they will like it very much.

Remember to catch the show at Singapore Indoor Stadium before they become extinct in Singapore on 8 September 2019. 

FTISLAND Live [THE TRUTH] Singapore 2017

After 3 years, FTISLAND is back to Singapore again.

I was there for their concert 5 years ago too, so happy to see them back again. 

My first time in the standing area for concert.

Thanks Jeremy for the ticket.

The fans have all been waiting eagerly for the comeback of FTISLAND.

We found ourselves a spot near the centre of the stage.

The boys took the stage with their electrifying songs.

They were very energetic and have spread their vibes to the crowds. Everyone went high together with the boys.

Hongki, Jonghun, Jaejin, Seunghyun and Minhwan took turn to greet the crowds. Hongki also commented that the crowds have all grown up since he last seen us few years back. We have grown together with them.

 Besides the songs from their latest albums, FTISLAND also performed songs from their first album to reminisce the old good times. 

FTISLAND also tried to adapt to our Singapore culture by speaking Singlish like 'so hot lah'. So hilarious. They definitely know how to keep the crowds entertained. There is never a boring moment.

Hong Ki thanked the fans for waitng patiently for them even though their last visit was 3 years ago.

They are also worried at the same time if the fans in Singapore has forgotten about them and thanked the crowds for coming today.

The 2 hours concert has come to an end.

Great time always passed fast.

Good bye boys.

It was a great 2 hours of energetic performance.

See you soon again in Singapore.

28th SEA Games Singapore 2015 Day 2 - Table Tennis

28th SEA Games 2015 is finally here in Singapore!

Super excited about it because this is the first time I am watching SEA Games live.
The last time SEA Games was held in Singapore was way back in 1993, it has finally returned to Singapore again after a 22-year long hiatus. This is the fourth time Singapore is hosting the Southeast Asian Games.

SEA Games will be held in Singapore from June 5 to 16, a total of 36 sports and 402 events will feature in the 12-day fiesta.

Which sports are you heading down to give your root support?

I was at Singapore Sports Hub to check out the SEA Games carnival as well as to watch my first ever Table Tennis match. Thanks CL for the ticket.

Table Tennis take place from Jun 1 - Jun 8 with 67 Athletes involved.

Admission fee to watch this sport is $20.

Say hello to Nila, 28th SEA Games mascot.

The name "Nila" is inspired by Sang Nila Utama, the founder of Singapura. The red mane symbolises the burning Passion for sports and the heart-shaped face represents Friendship created through competition. 

I want a Nila plushie.

One of the carnival activities are UnionPay Hot Air Balloon.

Each hot air balloon ride can accommodate a maximum of 3 passengers and 1 pilot. Ticket is required.

So many sports that I want to watch!!!!!

Let's strive for gold, go Team Singapore.

A total of 11 countries are involved in SEA Games 2015. They are Singapore, Vietnam, Timor Leste, Thailand, Philippines, Myanmar, Malaysia, Laos, Indonesia, Cambodia and Brunei.

The Table Tennis match was held at Singapore Indoor Stadium. 

The once familiar concert venue has transformed into a competition venue.

The men's and women's team match took place concurrently in the Indoor Stadium. My eyes will be busy later catching the different match.

Today's match:

Men's team: Thailand vs Vietnam

Men's team: Indonesia vs Philippines

Women's team: Malaysia vs Thailand

Women's team: Singapore vs Vietnam

The Athletes from Thailand making their appearance

Followed by Vietnam.

Team Philippines and Team Indonesia.

Team Singapore.

The match for men's team group B match 6 kickstart: 

Indonesia vs Philippines. 

One minute break for both team.

Let's go, Singapore!

Let's go!

It was an eye-opener event for me, there was never a moment I felt bored. But just a pity that I didn't get to watch Feng Tianwei played live because Singapore won all the 3 games, so there was no need for her to play. Super excited, especially the match of Indonesia against Philippines, they liked to smack the ping pong high and it bounced higher than normal. Awesome match.

Not sure when the next SEA Games would come to Singapore, grab this opportunity to watch as many games as you can. It's a different experience watching it live compared to watching it from television or online.
