What To Do During This Phase 3 Weekend (15-17 Jan)
Ready for the weekend? Here's what you can look forward to this week.
1. Grandmother Tongue
Back by popular demand after two sold-out runs in 2016 and 2017, Grandmother Tongue opens today as the first show of Wild Rice's 2021 season. Funny yet insightful, the play follows a young man's struggle to connect with his 84-year-old Teochew-speaking grandmother, offering a glimpse into the increasing erasure of dialects in today's Singapore and how this loss has affected our identity as Singaporeans.
Till 31 January 2021

2. Get in the MOO-d for CNY festivities at Resorts World Sentosa
Ring in the Lunar New Year with Universal Studios Singapore's Usher in the Fun festivities this weekend. Snag an auspicious photo at the Majestic Dragon Meet-and-Greet for a prosperous start to the new year, then keep an eye out for familiar faces out and about for CNY visitation, including Po from Kung Fu Panda, Shrek and gang, the iconic Minions, the Sesame Street crew and more. In addition, Optimus Prime and Megatron will be practicing their Mandarin by greeting selected guests at meet-and-greet sessions.
Meanwhile, over at S.E.A. Aquarium, enjoy Spring in the Sea with the incredible marine life that flourish there. Hunt for treasure by following the Trail of Fortune to uncover hidden gold ingots while coming face to face with aquatic creatures that are essentially living symbols of prosperity and good luck, then pose with a mythical sea dragon at Sea Dragon Surprise, a set of dragon dance-inspired photo installations located around the aquarium. You can also check out the DIY Dragon Wall and help add to it by sticking scales on the as-yet unfinished sea dragon mural.
