"Be part of a celebration of collective dreams."
I'm really grateful that I've been given the privilege to be involved with the Marina Bay 2012 Countdown campaign as a featured blogger. I've been absent from the blogging scene for quite awhile now due to school work and such, so for me to be given this opportunity is just fantastic.
Since this is about the New Year, I thought that I'd try something 'new' as well - vlogging. I've never done a vlog before and lots of people who have done made it seem real fun and easy so I was definitely keen on making one - and of course this would be the perfect post for me to do so, with this 'new' experience being in line with the new opportunities that the New Year is supposed to bring.
As you can tell from certain parts of the video I was a little nervous with this being my first time, but hey, I did give my best shot given the circumstances I was in (try filming yourself in public with random strangers standing right in front of you and staring the entire time) so no matter what, and even though I know it may not compare with what others have done, I'm still proud of this one. It's like one of the those artworks you did when you were 5 - nothing fantastic when compared to the professionals, but holds great sentimental value.
So here's the video, and in it I talk about the Wishing Sphere Project which has become, I dare say, iconic when it comes to Singapore and her most recognizable features. By the way, check out the picture above - can you spot the wishing spheres? The New Year sure wouldn't look the same without the vivid and charming scene of the Marina Bay filled with thousands of these floating spheres - a modern day picturesque view. So what are my wishes for 2012? Watch the video to find out. Enjoy!
The list of wishing stations in Singapore can be found here. They've basically covered every single part of Singapore so you have no excuses now!
