Deepavali Lights @ Little India!

Hey everyone!

This week, we popped by Little India to observe and capture Deepavali lights adorned along Serangoon Road! The yearly tradition of installing bright, colourful light banners attracts many photographers, and we certainly did not want to miss out on the occasion!

Little India is one of the liveliest areas in Singapore, with a growing bustling crowd each night! It is a popular tourist spot, and one can find Indian cuisines and garments easily there. Little India is also the site of a popular 24-hour shopping mall called Mustafa Shopping Centre, and they sell almost everything that one needs!

Changi Chapel & Museum

Hey everyone!

Today on the 14th day of August in the year 1945, marks an important date of the end of the Japanese Occupation in Singapore. This week we have been exploring a little-known museum in the far-flung corner of Singapore, but which houses significant memories and tales of a time that many Singaporeans have not lived through: the Japanese occupation during World War II (WWII).

The Changi Chapel & Museum is a museum that depicts the historic knowledge about WWII in Singapore, the Japanese occupation, tales of livelihood and death, and the prisoners-of-wars’ (POWs) internment in Changi Gaol (malay for ‘prison’). In the museum rests a replica chapel, a symbolic structure representing all the wartime chapels built during WWII by the POWs.
