Advent Calendar 2013 Activity - Day 17: Playing in the "Snow" at Tanglin Mall
You've got to hand it to the Singaporeans - if they don't have something naturally, they go right ahead and create it! Tonight we went to Tanglin Mall to play in the "snow". That has to be a first - snow in 30 degrees (or thereabouts)!
At 7.30pm we were surrounded by hundreds of people, some decked out in bathing suits, swimming trunks and goggles waiting for the snow foam machine to start up. At first it looked tame, only covering a small, overcrowded area, but once we moved further away, we got a better view. Some daring teenagers had their faces literally pressed up against the snow machine, before pulling away and sloping off like ghosts in the night. I caught a glimpse of a bride dressed in a pink satin dress and her groom in a black suit posing in front of the tree. The younger children joined in towards the end, some lying on the ground making snow angels, others scooping up the snow in their hands and patting it on their faces. Wugs fell into the latter category, a little uncertain at first and then he got caught up in the excitement. Even Dooey from his buggy looked intrigued as white blobs of foam landed on his curly black hair.
