A paradise of lights

WALK through an enchanted garden filled with colourful giant-sized plants and flowers, or reach out and grab one of the glowing jellyfish floating in the night sky.

More than 20 light art installations will illuminate the city skyline at 'i Light Marina Bay'- Asia's first sustainable light art festival.


Made from recycled materials like plastic cups and paper umbrellas, the light works were designed by local and international artists from countries like France, Australia and Switzerland.Some of the sculptures are even powered with bio-fuels from used cooking oil.

The event was launched by Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean on Friday, Oct 15.

Organised by the Urban Redevelopment Authority and Smart Light Singapore, the aim is to raise awareness of energy-saving lighting technology.

The 'i Light Marina Bay' festival runs from now till Nov 7. Opening hours are from 7.30pm to midnight, admission is free.

i wish i could collin raye


I Wish I Could
Artist : Collin Raye

Looking out my window
See you playing in the leaves
It’s amazing how a little girl
Means all the world to me
When I tell you that I love you
I love you more than words can say

Smile, say cheese pretty-please
I wanna take your picture
How’d you ever get so big
I gotta take your picture
Hold on to the memory before the whole thing slips away

I wish I could save these moments
And put ‘em in a jar
I wish I could stop the world from turning
Keep things just the way they are
I wish I could shelter you from everything
Not pure and sweet and good
I know I can’t, I know I can’t
But I wish I could

When you kiss me for no reason
It goes straight to my heart
When I feel your arms around me
I almost fall apart
It’s time for bed you whisper
Daddy, we forgot to pray

I wish I could save these moments
And put ‘em in a jar
I wish I could stop the world from turning
Keep things just the way they are
I wish I could shelter you from everything
Not pure and sweet and good
I know I can’t, I know I can’t
But I wish I could

And when I watch you sleeping
All my worries fade away
A little bit of heaven glows on your angelic face

I wish I could save these moments
And put ‘em in a jar
I wish I could stop the world from turning
Keep things just the way they are
I wish I could shelter you from everything
Not pure and sweet and good
I know I can’t, I know I can’t
I know I can’t
But I wish I could

Right-Brain Learning


Most people have a dominant hand, a dominant foot and a dominant eye. And so it goes for the brain, and for most of us, the left hemisphere is dominant.


The school system generally rewards left-brained individuals, who think in a logical, linear fashion, and learn best through hearing. Right-brained people think in a non-linear, intuitive fashion, and learn best through seeing and feeling. At school, right-brained children will often be marked down for not showing the working used to reach their answers. What their teachers fail to realize is these children don't have the usual working to show, having reached the correct destination by an unorthodox route.


According to right-brain educators such as Glenn Doman and Makoto Shichida, accessing the right brain not only enables a child to learn more efficiently, it can even unlock genius-level abilities. It is not that right-brain teaching will give you a genius baby, but rather that there is a genius already inside every baby - if only we can access the abilities of the right brain.


What kind of genius babies are we talking about? Children with talents like speed reading and photographic memory - and the seemingly limitless powers of recall associated with them. Kids with the ability to produce an accurate drawing of something only once glanced at, or tell instantly that the number of items being shown to them is 97 - and not 98 or 96. Prodigious musical talents and the ability of perfect pitch also rely on the use of the right brain.


Till next time, happy teaching!
