Bring about this year’s festive season with Christmas Wonderland 2024! Singapore’s biggest Yuletide fair will be returning to Gardens by the Bay from 29 Nov to 1 Jan 2025, between 6.30pm and 11pm.

This festival is a burst of light, sound and colour as droves of Singaporeans come together to celebrate the festive season. There are food stalls, live music and various game booths scattered across Gardens by the Bay. If you’re looking to purchase last-minute Christmas gifts, there is also a festive market selling different kinds of merchandise.

Remembering my time during last year’s festive season, I was lacking something special for my friend’s Secret Santa gift. At Christmas Wonderland, I managed to get my hands on a music box. It played one of the songs from Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away (2001). As a Ghibli fan, she loved it.

At Christmas Wonderland, the entirety of Supertree Grove will be bathed in light from multiple light displays for an entire month. Right at the heart of it all stands the 20-metre-tall Spalliera. It is a giant structure that illuminates the fair with amazing light and sound shows daily.

This Spalliera is also where the highlight of the festival takes place — Blizzard Time.

A rare delight for our tropical region, snow will fall accompanied by choral music. This year, it will be to “Magic of Christmas” by Dr. Darius Lim, a Singaporean composer-conductor. Watching as the snow falls all at once is truly a magical experience.

Earlier this month, the 64-year-old Sullivan got a degree of justice when a Massachusetts jury ruled that he was innocent of the 1986 murder and robbery of Wilfred McGrath. The jury also found a state police chemist falsely testified at the trial though his testimony isn't what guaranteed Sullivan's conviction.

In Singapore, a rustic island haven faces an uncertain future
STORY: A 10-minute ferry ride from eastern Singapore takes you to the small, quiet island of Pulau Ubin.This little haven offers a rare glimpse of rural life in a country better known for its modern malls and skyscrapers. Pulau Ubin is a rural spot full of biodiversity.About 4,000 people once lived there, but after the main quarry closed in 1970, most moved to the city as it quickly modernized.Chu Yok Choon is currently one of just 30 people still living on the 4-square-mile island.While he enjoys the quiet life, the 79-year-old feels the community has little future."I think there will be fewer and fewer people on this island. To be honest, the old people have died off one by one and the young ones are not suited for this kind of environment. It is up to the government to preserve it. The people here are ageing and dying off and the young people will not come back, they won’t be back.”Besides mail delays and the hassle of making trips to the city for groceries and gadgets, ferry rides can also be inconvenient for island residents.One 69-year-old, Lim Csye See, runs a bicycle shop on Pulau Ubin, but moved to the mainland 30 years ago due to quarry closures and his child’s school commute.“Very few people would stay on the island because transportation is too inconvenient. If you have a son who needs to go to school in the mornings, he might not be able to get a ferry. Then you have to pay for the whole boat.”For many, Pulau Ubin serves as a relaxing getaway. Offering hikes through lush greenery and lakes in old quarries, bike rides on car-free roads, and seafood dining by the water’s edge.Every June for the last nine years, Singapore officials have held 'Ubin Day' to celebrate the island’s heritage and nature. In 2001, the government said it was safe from changes until required for development.But no one is now allowed to move there from the mainland, leaving the population to dwindle. With the island's youngest residents in their 50s, some wonder what future there is now for Pulau Ubin.
