The weekend always seems to fly past too quickly, doesn’t it? In the case of Team BAZAAR, this seemed to be the case as well: Too little time, too much to see! Our intrepid lifestyle style editor Dana Koh and senior beauty writer Joyce Cheo took in the sights and sounds of the Singapore Night Festival, which kicked off on Friday, and were transfixed by larger-than-life installations that included the adorable Anooki feature at the National Museum of Singapore.
For day time exploration, digital writer Pakkee Tan travelled to the heart of Dempsey to visit Open Farm Community and discover the philosophy of the place’s edible gardening concept, and executive editor Charmaine Ho went off in search of undiscovered pockets of nature.
Elsewhere, associate fashion news editor Gerald Tan drew on memories of the wilderness of Tasmania to propel him through the sunny weekend, and fashion editor Windy Aulia took to roaming the leafy expanse of Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay.
And finally to round things up, our ever-stylish editor-in-chief Kenneth Goh threwback to his leisurely weekend strolling along Sydney’s “Glamarama” beachfront, while fashion stylist Debby Kwong reminisced about her carefree summer adventures in the dandelion fields of Cappadocia.
“Just a week ago along the ever stunning Tamarama beachfront that’s often called Glamarama for the a-list celebs spotted running the great ocean length with their hunky trainers from Bondi Beach. I settled for a brisk walk and chai latte at the beach cafe…”—editor-in-chief Kenneth Goh / @kennieboy.“Spent my Sunday roaming around the lush greenery of… @openfarmcommunity. Wonderful concept of edible gardening carried out in the city.”—digital writer Pakkee Tan / @tanpakkee.“Blown away. #readyfortheweekend #tgif #dandelion #nature #flower #fleur #favourite #love #sunshine #summer #turkey #cappadocia”—fashion stylist Debby Kwong / @debby.kwong.“Dreaming of Tasmania’s beaches and unmarked paths… “—associate fashion news editor Gerald Tan / @geraldtan.“Indoor VS outdoor activities –> aircon winds. #puns #gardensbythebay”—fashion editor Windy Aulia / @windyaulia.
“I’d have never known Singapore had undiscovered and untouched (albeit tiny) pockets of nature, if it hadn’t been for mountain biking.”—executive editor Charmaine Ho / @life_of_charm.“Give a girl the right shoes and she’ll be able to walk for 4 hours in and out of museums across the city, making pit stops to take in the sights and sounds of street performances and outdoor art installations. And not forgetting the delish treats from the local food stalls along the way. #singaporenightfestival”—lifestyle editor Dana Koh / @danaonduty.“Loved the super cute bouncing Anooki feature at the #SingaporeNightFestival! #sgnightfest #nightfest”—senior beauty writer Joyce Cheo / @morelipsticksplease.
