Last Friday, I met up with my bestie, Carissa after work. Instead of our usual dinner and shopping, we had a crazy awesome night snapping away in Alive Museum Singapore, located in Suntec City Mall.
Alive Museum Singapore is the largest 3D illusionary museum in Singapore. It has a total of 84 paintings so make sure you go there early! We were there at about 8pm but we couldn't finish them all within 2 hours. ):
Tip #1:
Set aside at least 3 hours for your visit to Alive Museum Singapore so that you have ample time to cover all of the exhibits.
Look who's behind the curtain!
We joked among ourselves that we had to do some cleaning before we could have fun.

Initially, we were like, "Huh, you mean this is it?" Turns out that it was just the beginning. We were just about to enter the area where the 3D paintings are!Being the typical Gen Y as we are, we didn't bother to read the leaflet prior to entering Alive Museum and we didn't know about the pose point and photo point until we went through almost half of the exhibits. Thus, here are some tips that you should take note of if you want good pictures taken at Alive Museum.
Tip 2:
Stand at the photo point for the best pictures.
Tip 3:
Do not use camera flash as artworks are designed such that they do not require flash.
Tip 4:
For best photo composition, crop photos within the art piece.
Tip 5:If you run of poses, check the sign beside the artwork for inspiration!
I was telling Carissa if not for the fact that I practice yoga, I wouldn't be able to perfect the ballet pose shown below.
Ballerinas (not)!
All these posing might look easy but trust me, it is not! To give you an idea of what goes behind the scene, whoever that is taking the photo will guide the other person on perfecting her pose and looking for the right angle before pressing the shutter button. #whatgoesbehindthisblogpost
This is one of our favorite - all hail the queen! Quite a tough one to pose for I would say. We NG-ed several times before getting a good shot but I guess its worth it because it screams, "I'm the queen!"
All hail the queen!
Poodle-owners, don't say I didn't warn you - do treat your poodles with TLC because... you never know when your poodle decides to take revenge on you!
Don't pee on me!
We chanced upon the stairway to heaven and Carissa decides to follow the stairs. Can you tell which foot of hers is actually stepping on something solid?
Stairway to Heaven
Its her left foot! Her right foot is actually 'floating' on air. We actually came out with this pose on our own. Tell me, does it look real?
As we proceed further in, we came across this - The Little Mermaid!
The Little Mermaid
This is super interesting because there's actually a fan that blows directly into your face to create the wind-blowing effect. Plus, Ariel is one of my all-time favorite Disney princess! After this picture was taken, Carissa and I were joking that Ariel is running low on her beauty budget so she didn't dye her hair red.
The foetus painting below is probably one of the more popular paintings as it has appeared in my Instagram and Facebook feed a couple of times.
Carissa decided to get creative and do a yoga pose!
I guess this was pretty much half-time for us to relax and chill a bit when we entered this room full of mirrors and disco lights with music. It really felt like we were in a club or something. Carissa was even dancing to the music! Girls wearing skirts or dresses have to be careful though as the floor is of reflective material.

One of the highlights of the day is that I managed to kiss my all-time favorite superhero, Spiderman! Awwwwww.... I love him because he is the smartest among all superheroes and partly also due to the fact that Andrew Garfield is so cute too!

What sets Alive Museum Singapore apart from the other Alive Museums around the world is that it showcases a few paintings of iconic buildings in Singapore.

By then, we were laughing too hard at our silly poses. Apparently, some poses requires us to stretch a lot or be in awkward poses in order to get a good picture. Thank goodness we chanced upon these visuals which allowed us to rest a little before we continue snapping the night away.
We thought that these lights reminds us a lot of The Matrix.
Next to it is a garden of ladybugs!
The lighting in there wasn't very good but thank God for aperture mode on my camera, I still managed to snap them clearly.

This is one of the coolest exhibit in Alive Museum Singapore. If you blow on the windmill, it makes the other windmills turn and when it reaches the screen, Marilyn Monroe's skirt flies up!

Another highlight of my trip to Alive Museum Singapore was that Superman had me in his arms!!!!!! *Girl fan scream*

We had so much fun over at Alive Museum Singapore. It was indeed an awesome night posing and snapping away with incessant laughter. We both agreed that it was a good workout too especially with all the crazy poses!
