We Bet You Can’t Locate All 21 Neon Signs At Flashbang Singapore

This December, the open-air carpark at Grange Road is transformed into Singapore’s first and largest creative retail playground, Flashbang Singapore.

Open from 9 to 30 December, it features carefully-curated food and beverages, a retail market, interactive exhibitions, live music performances, creative workshops, an arcade and more.

You might have noticed that your Instagram feed has been taken over by an abundance of photos of neon lights at Flashbang Singapore.

That’s right, Flashbang Singapore has some of the prettiest and most Insta-worthy neon signs and we’ve compiled a checklist for you.

Shine On Neon

1. Flashbang

This one’s right at the entrance. You can’t miss it.

2. Take The Risk Or Lose The Chance

Inspirational quotes are everywhere. Well, at least this one is not on a scenic background with a hipster font.

3. All We Have Is Now

All you have is now…till 30 December to take photos of this neon quote. #ShamelessPlug

4. Single, Taken, Hungry

Hungry all day, everyday. This one makes a good Tinder profile photo. A perfect opportunity to show the world your priorities. Repeat after me. Food is love, food is life.

5. Bang Bang

By Jessie J and Nicki Minaj ft. Ariana Grande? Or the “universal round” used by the previous generation of NSFs? You decide.

6. Nomophobia

Here’s a fun fact for you. Did you know that Nomophobia refers to the irrational fear of being without or unable to use your phone? Do you have nomophobia?

7. Angel Wings

Angel wings may be cliché but they’re always fun to take photos with. How many different poses can you make, making sure that the angel wings look like they’re sprouting from your back?

8. Penguin In A Scarf

NOOT NOOT! But no(o)t really. Who doesn’t like penguins? And he (or she. We don’t assume genders) has a scarf! *high pitch squealing*

9. Party Pig

You’ve heard of Spider Pig. Now, get ready for Party Pig. Always the life of the party, friends with various club owners, never settles, afraid of commitment and a heavy drinker.

10. Unicorn

Whoever came up with the idea of turning a lightning bolt into a gorgeous unicorn, deserves a medal. Fabulous AF.

11. Puppy With A Bowtie

We don’t know where this good pupper is headed, but we wish him well. Because he is the best boy. The nicest boy. The cutest boy. He deserves a treat.

12. The Duck With A Bowtie

Don’t trust this duck. He’s a quack.

13. Shooting Hoops

Look at this effortless basketballing. 888 points? Maximum huat.

14. Racing Arcade Machine

This one’s cute. It took us a while to figure out what this one is. But we got there.

15. David Bowie

RIP David Bowie. This is one of our favourites mainly because of that power stance. We are living for it.

16. Finger Heart

The all-too-common Korean finger heart sign. Saranghae, readers.

17. The Lady On A Mission

One of the neon light installations at the entrance. Where is she going? Where did she come from? Is she just a small town girl? Living in a lonely world?

18. The Cat With A Balloon

Do you see that cat doing an almost-perfect split? Amazing. 8/10.

19. The Man Who Can’t Stand Properly

We don’t know what that man is doing. Honestly. Is he falling? Is he breakdancing? What is it? Please tell us because we need to know. For science.

20. Arcade Gaming Machine

We like this one. Though it does look a little like a jackpot machine.

21. Liang Po Po

This is our favourite neon light installation. Liang Po Po is Singapore’s iconic granny played by Jack Neo in the old Chinese variety TV show.

This neon light installation sends waves of nostalgia to all of us who grew up watching Liang Po Po.

Flashbang Singapore is the coolest and most vibrant place to be this festive season. So banish your FOMO and don’t miss out on this colourful neon spectacle and retail market before it ends on 30 December!

From A Game Of Thrones Dinner To A Batman Exhibit, These 5 Events Will Have You Geeking Out

Comic-Con may not be here in Singapore, but that doesn’t mean that we have to live boring lives.

We found a few places and events for you to geek out at because let’s admit it, geek culture is the best culture.

So put on your superhero tees and let’s go!

1. Game Of Thrones-Themed Dinner

Who else thinks Season 8 of Game Of Thrones cannot come soon enough?

Since it’s going to be a while before we can get our hands on new episodes of the HBO series, here’s something to satiate your desire for all things GoT in the meantime.

The Bay Hotel is presenting a halal buffet inspired by the fantasy series. Aptly called “The Feast Of Fire And Ice“, this buffet will fill you up on a spread fit for kings and queens, and a whole lot of geeky GoT references.

Once dinner is done, head over to Bay Hotel’s rooftop bar, Propeller, and sip on Mother of Dragons champagne ($18), a drink containing dragon fruit balls (of course), that comes served with wisps of smoke.

The buffet will be available from December 22 onwards, and is priced at $58 for lunch and $78 for dinner.

The Knightcrawler is a monster of a tank owned by Bruce Wayne, that debuted in the Justice League movie. The current replica at Vivocity, stands at an impressive 3.4m tall and 14m wide and is exclusively displayed in Singapore.

The replica took a year to conceptualise and 36 hours to assemble on-site at VivoCity’s Atrium.

From now till 3 December, just present a receipt of any purchase at the Justice League roadshow, or a minimum $30 receipt from any outlet in VivoCity for an up-close and personal photo opportunity with the multi-terrain tank.

There will also be life-sized figures of the Justice League characters, an interactive photo booth, and an extensive range of Justice League movie merchandise.

Venue: VivoCity, 1 Harbourfront Walk, Singapore, 098585

Open the Grab app, choose your side (The Resistance or The First Order), and the app will be re-skinned for 5 weeks. The Grab cars on the map will be changed to look like TIE fighters or A-Wing Fighter Jets, depending on the side you choose.

So gather your friends and family and assemble your own superhero squad for this 23km ride that takes you past scenic landmarks and views of the Singapore city skyline!

5. Stranger Things-esque Arcade Bar

If you watch Stranger Things, then this new bar at Clarke Quay might remind of you a certain arcade in Hawkins.

Opened on 15 November, Level Up is a bar with vibrant mood lighting, that combines retro arcade games and drinking games with live entertainment from local musicians.

Located at Clarke Quay, this arcade bar might not have Dragon’s Lair or Dig Dug, but you’ll still be able to find many classic retro arcade games.
