The Marina Bay SINGAPORE Countdown!!
Probably the biggest 2010 countdown event in Singapore, this is one supersized countdown event which ought not to be missed. You may have seen advertisements on televisions advertising on this huge countdown event if you are currently staying in Singapore.

If you haven't guessed yet, this is an event where all kinds of people gather at a certain place in Singapore called Marina Bay on the 31st of December to celebrate the countdown to the new year. What's surprising about it is that, just last year, around 250,000 people headed down to this very same event. This made it the biggest countdown event of the year in Singapore and this year, it's set to get even bigger!
Activities this year include a free "swinging samba and throbbing batucada beats by the 25-member percussion group Bloco Singapura" "lighthearted skits and improvised miming by The Mimes, magic acts by Kiki Tay, as well as caricature drawing by Kamal Dollah."* From enthralling music by local groups, to humourous skits, thrilling magic acts and unique arts, these exciting activities are specially organised to keep you entertained while counting down to the New Year.
Moreover, the ever-changing and breath-taking fireworks display, which never fail to capture it's audience's attention will be here again. And this time, the fireworks will be dancing to a brand new music score, specially created for this year's event. This music score mixes Singapore's different ethnic culture's music to form a fresh start to the year.
In addition, the wishing sphere project is here once again! In fact, wishing stations are already set up to let people pen their wishes around Singapore. This significant project involves people writing their wishes on a sphere provided by the event organisors. These spheres will then lighted and put in the Bay, turning the Bay into a Bay of floating lights, aspirations and dreams. This magnificent view can then be seen on the Bay at the event by everyone who is there..
Finally, not only is the admission to The Marina Bay SINGAPORE Countdown free, it is also open to everyone and anyone looking for a place to go during your New Year's Eve. So, if you are looking to spend some quality time with your whole family and friends, or if you want to just chill out somewhere on the 31st, head on down to Marina Bay for..
