When you walk through the night,
You got to let your light shine, burn bright.
Hold on strongly to hope, to happiness.
Try your best not to give in to the darkness.

I'm not one for crowds so I usually avoid festivals and carnivals, but we wanted to try something different, so headed out to check out this year's Light The Night festival.
Despite it having started on a rainy evening, there was a pretty big crowd walking around once the rain stopped.
Colourful durian building from afar....
We didn't go to the night market as we had already had dinner and didn't feel like shopping, so we just walked around checking out the beautifully lit and dynamic light projections on the various museums and galleries in the area.
Ever changing...
Hello Mr Raffles.. 'Sup
I did enjoy walking around in the Asian Civilization Museum, which was far less crowded and I had never been to before.
Very creative way to display plates from the Tang wreckage...
We ended the night with a "picnic", chilling on the lawn near the Victoria Theatre, which was a nice spot to see the changing display loop on the building façade.
I'm sad that I'm not around this coming Friday/weekend to go check it out again (it's on till next Sunday) but will definitely look out for this event next year. :)
