The Pinwheels 2024

I was invited to The Pinwheels, a content creators’ award show by MediaCorp / BloomrSG .

Spoiler alert: No, I was not nominated for anything.

Nonetheless I was curious on the winners and how the show for content creators would turn out and it was pretty fun? I’ve had my share of award shows but this one is much funner than the regular ones I’ve attended.

The dress code was smart casual with the theme yellow or/and black. So I totally expected people to turn up like they were a typical student designer or for a funeral.

Cause that’s what you usually get if you put ‘black’ in, everyone’s gonna just reach for the basics.

It was ok though, it didn’t look like a funeral for content although the aesthetics were still dystopian-like with the grunginess of the entry way? I do like the decorations.

Industrial relics and wartime secrets tour by Hidden Heritage Singapore

Early morning, I travelled all the way to the west to an abandoned lubrication blending plant. What’s surprising is that it’s actually behind some HDB blocks, just hidden away in a neighbourhood. (And that the HDB blocks had something interesting on it too when you realize where you are but I doubt I should post what it is. It’s just a bonus if you do get on this tour or manage to figure out the exact location of it.)

By the way, photos are from my Ektar H35N with a 400 iso Kodak Porta film or from my phone since there’s some locations that’s too dark for my film.

For now, you can get on the tour by following or contacting Hidden Heritage Singapore on their instagram.

Hololive x Aniplus 2024

It’s that time of year again where we get a Hololive x Aniplus cafe collaboration in Singapore!

This time it’s with the GAMERS and Hololive Japan Generation 3.

As usual, do book online at the Aniplus Cafe website for seat reservation. You can do walk ins but there are peak hours/days where it is simply not possible to do.

This collaboration begins on 4 October 2024 to 12 December 2024. Which is in the timeline if you’re coming to Singapore for Anime Festival Asia in November too.

You can’t pick your coasters as it’s ‘gacha’ based and the 2024’s quality of coasters has improved from the 2023 version!

No tablemat for 2024 but instead we got photo covers instead! Unfortunately I didn’t get Marine in the Aniplus collab goodies but I got her when I bought a polaroid gacha card in the merch area anyway. These photo card holders are way nicer than the table mats of 2023 and easier to keep!

Cheers to you guys anyway!

We chose Korone’s Choconana and Mio’s cola drink since it looks good.

I had Marine’s fish and chips with calamari rings.

Mio’s rice is limited per day apparently. It’s stated in the fine print there.

And there’s Pekora’s curry rice. It’s pretty cute.

This time we didn’t try the desserts so we can’t review it. I can definitely say the food has improved from last year.

I realized what would make things better is if Aniplus Cafe had a condiments station. Perhaps some chilli sauce, salt, pepper shakers and such might help too.

Oh the staff ARE friendly and polite and the chef did ask us on the food too.

There will be timeslots available so do pick one and don’t be late for your session since it’s a pretty popular exhibition.
