Think of levitating pictures, and Natsumi Hayashi, who has gained a huge following with her quirky self-portraits, probably comes to mind. Inspired by her as well as other global levitators like her, Jayden and Jeff recently started Levitation SG, taking the art of mid-air suspension to the streets of Singapore. As they declare on their Facebook page, ‘Its all done without any cables, its all sweat and passion. No photoshop no touch ups’. We love how playful and childlike their works are.

Part of the IEX Asian Heritage collection (a range of fashion and lifestyle collectibles by designers and artists inspired by artefacts from Singapore’s Asian Civilisations Museum), the Impression series of raku clay bowls and plates go beyond the Song Dynasty Yaozhou bowl that inspired them. They are also touchingly ergonomic, with slight dents at the spots where the thumbs go. By Mindflyer/Michael Ng and handcrafted by Steven Low.

I’m a sucker for a good time-lapse film, getting to see a new place in a new way. Producing a static shot of a single subject is tough enough, but this dude absolutely kills it by adding in seemingly impossible moves through his city of choice. Singapore, Moscow and Belarus (see below) all get the treatment.

I met this awesome lady in Thailand, during the Little Lotus Project. Sheryo is a wicked street artist originally from Singapore but now Brooklyn-based. She has traveled the world doing art bombings everywhere she lands: from Korea, to Cambodia, Indonesia, to LA and New York. Her works are gnarly, hilarious and incredible.

Sometime back, we featured Muon, and the self-declared sui-generis sonic anarchists from Singapore now have a new album out, The Shape of Shapes to Come. I’ve soaked up all 12 tracks at their Bandcamp page and it’s like my ears just swum in love. This is one of the album tracks, Aqua Assault, performed live.

It’s a visual feast living in Singapore, where the country’s architectural landscape gets nipped and tucked all the time. So much so that my friend from abroad said on a recent trip here: “This seems like a place where people don’t belong.” That statement is especially true of the 101-hectare Gardens by the Bay which will open in June 2012. The conservatories and supertrees (a sort of vertical garden) already look like something right out of a science fiction flick. Here, the plants belong. We are merely spectators.

I live in a citystate famous for its age-old ban on chewing gum. While Singapore is much more than a silly gum ban, it would be deliciously ironic to see these massive gum wads on our streets. Just look at how gorgeous Venice turned out.

Part of the nine-kilometre Southern Ridges and designed by RSP Architects Planners & Engineers and IJP Corporation Ltd, the Henderson Waves is a monstrous 274-metre long structure that connects two parks in Singapore. The undulating ribs flow organically across seven wave spans. It is hard not to think you might have somehow snaked your way into a whale’s belly or two while making your way through.

Take a mobile shipping container and add to it nine cities and ten chefs. What do you get? Singapore Takeout: a revolutionary mash-up between hawker-style street food, a pop-up kitchen, and a food truck. Trendsetting foodies, consider this your warning: this post may just set your heart aflutter.

Looming from the Singapore skyline as a shimmering mirage, the Marina Bay Sands is an astonishing monument to architectural genius Moshe Safdie. The three 55-story towers are crowned by a rooftop skypark 200 meres in the air, which includes an infinity edge outdoor pool to capture the sights of Singapore.

Singapore-based The Salad Shop is a funky, fresh hub for busy city workers to grab a quick bite of ‘fresh food fast’ over lunch. While the smorgasbord of greens and salad toppings are enticing, it is the atmosphere that really draws you in. Designed by the same clever team that brought us the Chocolate Research Facility, the interior is sleek, chic and eclectic all at the same time.

The Tippling Club is a bold Singaporean space where molecular mixology is married with chic design and cutting-edge gastronomy, all wrapped up in a lush rainforest. Here, English-born chef Ryan Clift and barman-cum-chemist Aussie Matthew Bax, dare to push the boundaries of cuisine and cocktail creativity.

Ok, so I’m wearing this t-shirt right now. It’s by Singapore-based fashion label Hooked Clothing, and it’s just about my favorite tee at the moment. Why? Why not. Tees are fun and Hooked has me hooked.
