Somewhere in the world, Tonga specifically, it's already Jan 1st. Happy New Year! 🎇🥳🎉🍾🥂🥳🎊🎆 *The Pacific island of Tonga will be the first place to celebrate the New Year 2022 where January 1 begins at 10 am GMT or 3:30 pm IST on December 31. The small Pacific island nations of Tonga, Samoa and Kiribati are the first countries to welcome New Year and lead the world through New Year's celebrations that will follow all over the world.* #HappyNewYear #HappyNewYear2022 #MBSC2022 #SGTogether (at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYJSmwNPVFj/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's kinda of hard to believe we're actually on the last day of 2021. 2020 seem to have dragged on for years, and 2021 went by faster than expected, as we learnt to live with a pandemic. I spent most of 2020 at home under lockdown, and a lot of 2021 too. Then in November, I started venturing out despite the Delta surge and never looked back. Getting vaccinated made the difference. Didn't make me reckless, but it got me to overcome my fear of Covid and venturing out, and finally catching up with friends many I haven't seen in a year or two . I spent a lot of this month in Marina Bay, partly out of habit as it's where traditionally the happening area year-end. There were light projections and light installations, and it was good to see the city alive again, with people, than silent or deserted as it had been for much of the last 2 years. No fireworks tonight cos Omnicron but all's good. 2021 has been better than 2020, so let's hope 2022 is much better too.

The bad news? There's no big bang Fireworks around Marina Bay to welcome in the New Year. The good news? There's lots happening, to see, eat, and jalan-jalan around Marina Bay, including light projection shows all around (see previous posts(. A few of the office buildings are also specially lighted up, so look out for it. Tonight, we had a preview of the *Share the Moment projection shows - Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2022*, on the Merlion and @fullertonhotelsg, thanks to @urasingapore @marinabaysg It'll be on nightly, from 26th to 31st Dec. The facades of The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, the Merlion, and ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands will come aglow with projection shows celebrating the spirit of giving to the community, featuring 15 artworks by local students. The detailed display schedule can be found at www.marinabaycountdown.gov.sg The students took inspiration from stories of the President’s Volunteerism & Philanthropy Awards 2021 nominees, made up of individuals, leaders and organisations that have been recognised for their acts of giving to the community. Share the Moment is organised for the second year running in partnership with the National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre, in support of its vision for a City of Good. #MBSC2022 #SGTogether (at Marina Bay Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CX1aXQevGUS/?utm_medium=tumblr

The last few days have seen the Crescent Moon 🌙 accompanied the planets as it passes Venus, Saturn and Jupiter. I took this yesterday - the beam of light is from the Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2022 ­– Shine a Light projection.

I've spent way too much time in and around Marina Bay the last 2 weeks! Catching shows at the Esplanade, catching the Pink Merlion, catching Shine a Light and the light installations. I've not seen Marina Bay as crowded since, well, pre-Covid days.

I'm semi-obsessed with this light installation along the Marina Bay waterfront promenade, near where the Shine A Light light display is. They've basically turned the row of trees into Hansel and Gretal get lost in eerie woods where witches who wants to eat little kids roam. The trees change colours at intervals and many stopped for selfies and wefies.

Lights of the city. @esplanadesingapore looking good with changing colours. I'm heading there for a concert on Saturday. First in the last 2 years, whereas before, I would have been attending one or more weekly. Looking forwards. Light trails are from traffic and tour boats. Base is probably from cyclists at One Fullerton. #longexposure #longexposurephotos #lighttrail #MBSC2022 #SGTogether #ShineALight #marinabay #Singapore #marinabaysands #ThisIsSingapore #VisitSingapore #PassionMadePossible #loves_singapore  #sgmemory #lovinsingapore #YourSingapore #sgarchitecture #citynightlights #cityscape #cityskyline #ic_cities #citynightlights #city_captures #Citybestpics #Cityview #Citylights #Cityscapes #City_explore #Seemycity #Citylights #cityscape (at Marina Bay Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW8yCeMBqQa/?utm_medium=tumblr
