Singapore Odyssea: A Journey Through Time

When you set sail with Singapore Odyssea: A Journey Through Time at NMS, you would be experiencing a time travel journey of Singapore, as it chronicles the major milestones in Singapore’s 700 years of history, presented through special animations and interactive experiences, in a personalised and immersive journey that gives visitors something different and unique to experience Singapore’s history from a fresh perspective. 

“The previous installation, Story of the Forest, featured animals inspired by our prized William Farquhar Collection of Natural History Drawings. Well-loved by visitors, it sparked wonder and curiosity about the collection. With Singapore Odyssea, we wanted to continue drawing on our collection and rich stories to present Singapore’s history in an engaging and relevant way – this creates an accessible entry point, while honouring the depth and significance of our history,” said Ms Chung May Khuen, Director of the National Museum of Singapore.

Ms Chung added: “In presenting Story of the Forest, we pushed the boundaries of a conventional museum-going experience through technology and multimedia to create a highly immersive space. It was very well received by visitors, who called for similar experiences and even greater interactivity. This was the impetus behind incorporating further multisensorial and interactive elements in Singapore Odyssea that we hope will continue to excite and enchant our visitors.”

“The Shaw Foundation is proud to support the National Museum in its continued efforts to share the rich and storied history of our nation,” said Mr Mark Shaw of Shaw Foundation. “We hope that the bold and innovative storytelling in Singapore Odyssea will captivate and inspire visitors to take pride in our heritage and develop a deeper interest in Singapore’s remarkable history.”  

Experiencing 700 years of Singapore’s history in four episodes 

The Singapore Odyssea blends history, art and technology together, shaping into an evocative time-travel voyage through Singapore’s history that centres on the sea as an ever-present witness and enabler of our country’s evolution. 

Designed by local creatives, Singapore Odyssea offers visitors a vivid, immersive, experiential overview of Singapore’s journey over 700 years. This journey spotlights key moments of Singapore’s history, layered with local stories and myths associated with Singapore’s origins. 

This installation gives cultural and historical context to Singapore’s identity, adding depth and enhancing appreciation for Singapore’s place in the region and the world. When you visit Singapore Odyssea, you can look forward to “setting sail” from an imagined futuristic Singapore to our pre-colonial beginnings.

Join me! Let’s Set Sail with Singapore Odyssea: A Journey Through Time!

When you set sail with Singapore Odyssea: A Journey Through Time, what would you be experiencing? Here are the time travel stages that you would be going back into:

• Opening: Glimpse of the Future – Singapore, as a futuristic, green and connected city
• Episode 1: Setting Sail – Scenes from independence to present-day Singapore
• Episode 2: Riding Out the Storm – Scenes from wartime and postwar Singapore
• Episode 3: Age of Exploration – Scenes from Colonial Singapore
• Episode 4: Shores of Singapura – Scenes from pre-colonial Singapore period 

Opening: Glimpse of the Future (Singapore, as a futuristic, green and connected city)

You are now going to embark on your journey, it’s now boarding time to “board” a time-travelling vessel. Take in the futuristic view of the Singapore skyline from the “cabin”, this sets the stage for your time travel journey back in time.  

As you enter into the gallery, you will be greeted by a stunning light show anchored by a suspended LED globe – the first of its kind in a Singapore museum. The room is now immersed in vibrant hues of blue, the scene transiting into a two-minute show that maps the intricate network of maritime routes that have connected Singapore to the rest of the world over the years. 

Episode 1: Setting Sail (Scenes from independence to present-day Singapore)

Starting episode 1 of your time travel journey back in time as you descend the spiral ramp, you are now experiencing the pivotal chapters of Singapore’s history. Be mesmerised by the visual wall projections that you will encounter, coming alive through animated scenes and rich soundscapes. 

Immerse yourself into those key moments of Singapore, such as Singapore’s first National Day Parade before wartime evacuations, and ancient coastal communities. 

Episode 2: Riding Out the Storm (Scenes from wartime and postwar Singapore)

Entering into episode 2, you are now entering the time of wartime and postwar Singapore. Key scenes include the sinking of the HMS Prince of Wales and Repulse., Japanese air raids, and early nation building efforts. Experience the feelings and emotions of turbulence, uncertainty, and suspense.

Episode 3: Age of Exploration (Scenes from Colonial Singapore)

Continuing your journey back in time, to Singapore’s colonial era, with the sea as a gateway to the world, evoking wonder and surprise. Relive Singapore as a thriving port city, set against a tropical landscape that welcomed traders, immigrants, and new ideas. 

Episode 4: Shores of Singapura (Scenes from pre-colonial Singapore)

You are now entering into episode 4 of your time travel journey, the final episode of your Singapore Odyssea adventure. Dive into Singapore’s mythical pre-colonial past, sparking a sense of curiosity and wonder. 

Encounter the Orang Laut, the legend of the Palembang prince Sang Nila Utama’s arrival on the island, and story of Padang and the Singapore Stone.

Grand Finale at base of the Glass Rotunda 

Your time travel journey has now reached the base of the Glass Rotunda. A grand finale awaits you, where a cinematic digital waterfall curtain opens up in segments to reveal pivotal moments from Singapore’s history as you approach towards it.

On the floor, it’s dynamic as it responds to visitors movements, with each step creating ripples on the surface that interact with surrounding ripples generated by others. An interactive and fully immersive experience enhanced by a curated sound design, creating a powerful grand finale to your time travel voyage at Singapore Odyssea.  

Sustainability as a thematic undercurrent 

In the previous interactive exhibition edition at the Glass Rotunda, Story of the Forest sparked the topic and conversation on environmental awareness. Today, in Singapore Odyssea, this continues on, showing how Singapore’s identity has been shaped by its natural environment and the sea – from the lives of coastal communities from early Singapore, to the nation’s post-independence greening efforts and visions of future climate resilience.

Ms Priscilla Chua, Principal Curator of the National Museum of Singapore, shared: “The launch of Singapore Odyssea in the momentous year of SG60 is an opportune time to revisit our nation’s remarkable journey, while reflecting on our relationship with the environment. We encourage visitors to draw connections between the evolution of Singapore’s natural environment through the ages, with urgent global challenges like climate change and rising sea levels that are pertinent issues that will shape Singapore’s present and future.” 

Buddy Buddy Time Travel at Singapore Odyssea: A Journey Through Time

Before visiting NMS for a Singapore Odyssea: A Journey Through Time, don’t forget to invite your bestie/buddy along for this interactive and immersive experience. 

Pick up a personalised RFID-enabled wristband before you go onboard your time travel journey. You can “adopt” one of nine companions, each inspired by Singapore’s native fauna. 

Whether it’s a forest dwelling pangolin, a coastal crab, or a sky-gliding hornbill, these companions respond uniquely to their visitor’s movements and environment by lighting the path forward, triggering hidden animations, and deepening emotional connection at every turn.

Release your RFID-enabled companions at a Digital “Well”

You have reached the end of your Singapore Odyssea: A Journey Through Time adventure, before you leave and return back to modern day Singapore, you are invited to release your RFID-enabeld companions at a digital “well”. 

This symbolic gesture reinforces the saying that what is borrowed from nature should be returned with care – A call to action to build a sustainable future for people and the real-life counterparts of those (RFID-enabled) companions.

This experience is featured alongside immersive media where myths of legendary creatures such as the giant tide-moving crab and the magical tree of life Pauh Janggi are reinterpreted. All these offer poetic entry points into today’s urgent ecological conversations and topics on climate change, rising sea levels, and biodiversity loss not as isolated modern concerns, but as part of Singapore’s long and evolving story.

Singapore Odyssea: A Journey Through Time Opens 8 August 2025

The Singapore Odyssea: A Journey Through Time officially opens to the public on 8th August 2025. Admission to Singapore Odyssea, is free for Singaporeans and permanent residents.

Inspired by 1987 National Day Theme song “We Are Singapore”

Inspired by the lyrics of the beloved 1987 National Day Theme song “We Are Singapore”, 2025 SG60 celebrations programmes are thematically curated to honour the people, values and stories that have shaped Singapore over the years.

Chung May Khuen, Director of the National Museum of Singapore, said, “The National Museum has long been a space where Singapore’s history and identity are explored, celebrated and reimagined. This SG60, it is especially meaningful for us to welcome visitors to join us in reliving the stories and values that form our identity as Singaporeans. Inspired by the song “We Are Singapore”, which speaks to our spirit of determination and immense pride in the country we’ve built together, our largest National Day celebrations aim to honour our shared past and invite the community to participate in shaping the stories we continue to tell.”

MayThe4thSG @ Gardens By The Bay 4th May 2024

When I read the Gardens By The Bay was celebrating MayThe4thSG with a special Garden Rhapsody Star Wars edition, I wanted to visit again. It’s really special watching the light show display at the Supertree Grove, playing a melody of iconic Star Wars soundtracks that we Star Wars fans grew up listening to.

Here’s a short clip of some of the iconic Star Wars soundtracks that were part of the Garden Rhapsody Star Wars Edition at Supertree Grove. Watching the Star Wars light show display, listening to the soundtracks, it’s kind of nostalgic, and it’s really a nice light show display! 

@genghuitan #MayThe4thBeWithYou! It’s #MayThe4th, #StarWarsDay for #StarWars fans around the world. Celebrating #MayThe4thSG in #Singapore at #GardensByTheBay ♬ original sound – GengHui

After the Garden Rhapsody Star Wars Edition at Supertree Grove, some Star Wars fans stayed back, dressed in their Star Wars attire and lightsabers, posing and taking photos/videos of them with their lightsabers in action. 

MayThe4thSG @ Science Centre 5th May 2024

On Sunday 5th May, I went down to MayThe4thSG community celebration at Science Centre. From anything relating to Star Wars, from Star Wars artworks, Star Wars toys, Star Wars cosplay, 501st Legion – Singapore Garrison, lightsaber related stuff, toy photography exhibition by Plastic Singapore where my friend AikWee has some of this Star Wars toy photography works on display and for sale too!

With Isaac taking back his lightsaber from AikWee, I just have to get Isaac and AikWee to replicate some Star Wars scenes together! 

Return to Star Wars LEGO Photography

MayThe4thSG 2024 also marks my return to Star Wars LEGO Photography! My Star Wars LEGO toy photography took a hiatus. With the addition of a used Star Wars LEGO 75054 AT-AT into my collection, I am now ready to make a return to Star Wars LEGO Photography!

From the photo above, you would have guess which Star Wars scene that I am replicating with my LEGO Star Wars – Star Wars V – The Empire Strikes Back (Battle of Hoth scene). Other Star Wars scenes that I am looking to replicate are Rogue One and Star Wars VI – The Return of the Jedi (Battle of Endor). 

I also have other plans on creative fictional toy artworks on a LEGO airport scene with Star Wars all-terrain vehicles and starships, together with those machine and vehicles you see at an airport. Another idea would be AT-AT and AT-ST patrolling cities/neighbourhoods. 

Let’s see where my return to Star Wars LEGO photography is going to being this time round! Stay tuned to my social media channels for more updates!

Happy Star Wars Day 2024!

Happy Star Wars Day 2024 to all Star Wars fans! May The Force Be With You!

Lego Toys Photography

I haven’t been too active with my Lego toys, bricks and mini-figures over the years. After a recent chat with a fellow photographer friend Aik Wee who is very passionate in toys photography (check out Tamago Toys), looking at his toy works and checking out a toy photography group outing shoot, I was motivated to make a return to Lego toys photography again. 

I do miss the fun and play with my Lego toys, here is a start to relaunch my Lego toys photography, with this pair of photographer mini-figures at the Floating Platform in Marina Bay, Singapore, for a farewell photo shoot before the Floating Platform undergo a major renovation for the next few years. 

Lego Visual Storytelling Play Works

As I went back in time, looking at my past Lego visual storytelling play works, rediscovering my Lego visual storytelling with my technology gadgets that I was reviewing at that time. Here are some of my Lego visual storytelling stories below:

• Jabra Elite 75t x Star Wars Lego
• Jabra Evolve2 85 x Sonnenglas x Star Wars Lego x TGH Photography
• Sudio Elva x Sonnenglas x Star Wars Lego
• Sudio Ett x Star Wars Lego 

Lego Star Wars Photography

I am also planning to revive my Lego Star Wars photography action again. One of my dream Star Wars scene was the Battle of Hoth, in Star Wars V – The Empire Strikes Back. Other memorable scenes for me would be Planet Tatooine from Star Wars IV – A New Hope and Planet Endor, in Star Wars VI – Return of the Jedi.

Besides movie/drama scenes from the Star Wars series, I also produced my own Lego Star Wars scenes and stories too! Maybe it’s time to rally my Lego Star Wars friends who are also photography enthusiasts, make a comeback together in the name of our superpower – Play with Lego!

For fellow Star Wars and Lego fans, May The Force Be With Us in our Lego World Play Day 2023! Play is our Superpower, the time is now for you to awake the Lego Play Force inside you and Rise of your Lego Play!

Different groups from the galaxy system rushed down towards the Sonnenglas galaxy, the Rebel Alliance, the Empire and small independent groups converged onto the Sudio Elva with their troops and all-terrain walkers. As they started exploring, how can they unleash the power of the Sudio Elva?

Guided by the beacon of light from the Sonnenglas galaxy, they proposed to work together for a common goal. Putting their differences and allegiances aside, combining their forces and finally unleashing the Sudio Elva earphones to the world. 

Introducing the Sudio Elva earphones! Check out my review article on the Sudio Elva earphones that I published on my technology and business portal/blog!

Music is a universal language, the Force is Strong in the world of music, that is sensed and discovered inside the Sudio Ett that was recently introduced to the audio world.

The clone troopers and storm troopers were ordered to transport the Sudio Ett back to base for the audio and technology review and tests. However, they were attracted by the Music and decided to defy orders, opening up the Sudio Ett and discovering the world of Sudio and music.

They are awed by Sudio’s Ett aesthetically beautiful design, minimalist and elegant, rooted in Swedish music that continues to move music lovers around the world today.

So they say, thank you for the #SudioMoments music!

There is a new pair of true wireless earbuds in the galaxy, the Jabra Elite 75t has now arrived on our shores. Star Wars Lego Clone Troopers have been activated to pick up the gadget and escort it back to base for communication and audio testing.

Under heavy clone troopers security protection, the Jabra Elite 75t is unloaded, unboxed and transferred inside the base for testing and review.

Putting the Jabra Elite 75t through the paces, tests and scenarios, how would the review turn out? If you are interested to know more about the Jabra Elite 75t, do visit and check out my Jabra Elite 75t technology and audio review!

This is also the 40th Anniversary of Star Wars V – The Empire Strikes Back that was released in 1980, probably the fan’s favourite Star Wars from the Star Wars Trilogy. Personally, the Battle of Hoth movie scene from The Empire Strikes Back, is one of my favourite Star Wars scenes. I previously wanted to replicate this scene with my Lego Star Wars collection, however, this scene requires a lot more Star Wars Lego sets and Lego mini figures especially the Snowtroopers and Rebel Alliance!

Therefore, I decided to bring out my current collection of Star Wars Lego, created a small setup on my bed, of the Battle of Hoth scene from The Empire Strikes Back, shot with the Canon EOS M6 Mark II mirrorless camera that I am currently reviewing. While it can’t be compared to the big projects done by hardcore Star Wars fans, nevertheless, I enjoyed my fun toy photography time with my Star Wars Lego again using my Canon digital cameras!

Since I am doing a special theme of Star Wars Lego toy photography with the Canon EOS M6 Mark II, let’s create some my own Star Wars stories/scenes from my Lego collection.

In this period of the extended circuit breaker, this toy photography with the Canon EOS M6 Mark II brought fun and joy in the midst of restrictions, stress and pressure arising from the Covid-19 situation. Do keep a lookout for my Canon EOS M6 Mark II review article!

May the Force be with You on May the 4th 2020. take care and be safe, in time to come, our life would slowly get back to normal soon when the extended circuit breaker is lifted.

A New Hope awaits all of us.

May 4^th, 2017 falls on a Thursday, with Gardens By The Bay turning into a Star Wars festival ground, ending off with the Star Wars run on 6^th May 2017. While I didn’t participate in the Star Wars run, I visited Star Wars Day 2017 on May 4^th and 5^th at Gardens By The Bay, the SuperTree Grove at Gardens By The Bay turning into a Star Wars festival ground.

At the SuperTree Grove, there were booths showcasing Star Wars merchandise/toys for sale, memorabilia, charity photo booth, photography taking opportunities with Star Wars characters, the Star Wars AT-ST Walker making a guest appearance and getting a lot of fanfare! The charity photo booth was managed by fellow photographer friend Ted Chen Photography, a hardcore Star Wars fan, it was great catching up with Ted for a short time during my visit to Star Wars Day 2017 on May 4^th.

In the night, the SuperTree Grove transformed into a magical night of lights and music display, presenting Garden Rhapsody: Star Wars edition. For the Star Wars fans, we all love this Garden Rhapsody: Star Wars edition! The SuperTree Grove became SaberTrees, shining high above into the Marina Bay skyline for three nights during Star Wars Day 2017 in Singapore from May 4^th to May 6^th. This was a magnificent sight for Star Wars fans as well as photographers, watching it from the grounds of Gardens By The Bay or from the Marina Bay Sands hotel linkway bridge to Gardens By The Bay.

Star Wars Day 2017 was really nice, with the bigger event space at SuperTree Grove, the Star Wars AT-ST Walker making an appearance and the SaberTrees shining high and bright into the Marina Bay skyline. They were some of the highlights that made Star Wars Day 2017 much more special and memorable! I hope that they can continue with it in Star Wars Day 2018!

Wishing all fellow Star Wars fans, May the 4^th Be With You, Always! Looking forward to Star Wars VIII – The Last Jedi on 15th December 2017!
