On 15th Aug 2009, we went to a newly opened shopping mall called Iluma. It is located in Bugis and prominently situated opposite Bugis Junction.
Inside Iluma, an artist is painting on the wall. We came to know that actually today Iluma is having it’s light up for the unique looking design so there are a number of activities lined up.
The escalator within Iluma. The unique design on the ceiling make the mall look stylish.
Moving on, we came across some acrobatics performance on-going inside the mall and decided to stay to check it out.
OMG! 180 degrees leg split while hanging upside down. The music together with the amazing stunts shown were really entertaining.
Glad that we managed to catch this performance. A loud clap for the children and teens who performed!
We went outside and there was also another Indonesian music performances as well.
At the entrance of Iluma, quite a crowd have gathered to check out the happenings. Notice the unique-looking and diamond-shaped thingy, these will be lighted up tonight. Anticipating it and hope that it will look great!
We were tired walking around and hence stopped by at Breko Café, which is beside Iluma, to take a breather. We decided to sit outside as the weather is cooling and we can still check out the on-goings at Iluma too.
Breko happy hour promotion – 2 bottles of Asahi at S$12++. In fact, you can choose any 2 bottles from a fixed drink list. 🙂
Empire State – a restaurant located at 4th floor. Seems like it’s serving New York styled food.
On the same level, there is a cluster of 7 Japanese restaurants from different prefectures of Japan, which is collectively known as Ebiboshi Shotengai. The end result is somehow like Movenpick Marche Restaurant. The restaurants featured are Katsumiya, Tsubohachi (Japan’s Number One Izakaya), Sanshigo, Menya Manpei, Tora Shabu, Teppan No Hoshi and Sweet Brothers.
Tora Shabu – featuring french maid-styled waitress? Will try someday if they allow photography. 😛
Sweet Brothers – serving Japanese desserts and drinks.
For you to pose and take a photo. 😛
Ebiboshi Shotengai – Ninja School? I want to learn Rasengan and Chidori! Wahaha!
Marble Slab Creamery – the freshest ice cream on earth. Believe this is the first store to be opened in Singapore. I will give it a try the next round.
The main reason we came to Iluma is because we have booked for a movie online at Film Garde. 2 tickets at S$19 and booking fee of S$1.
Sale of drink, popcorn, nachos and other snacks for your munching while enjoying the movie but please don’t disturb your neighbors. 🙂
G.I. Joe – The rise of the cobra. This is the show that we watched. Trailer below.

There is also a game arcade within Iluma, with a large variety of games available for your entertainment.
Some teens drumming to the beat or symbol shown on the screen.
Dinner at Thai Express. Yellow Chicken Curry at S$8.90++.
Prawn Toast at S$6.90++.
Prawns Tom Yum Soup at S$9.90++. Yes, there are prawns in the soup but all sunk to the below. 😛
Phad Thai Seafood at S$9.90++.
Otaku House for all your otaku needs – figures, costumes, collectibles, etc.
It’s almost 8pm – the time scheduled for the light up. Outside at the entrance of Iluma, performances still on-going to liven up the atmosphere.
Light up show have finally started and as you can see, it can formed words as well.
The lights are ever moving and it’s like a huge giant TV display (though it’s not flat).
Very bright light up! My opinion is that the display will be very much suitable during Christmas as it’s look so much like snow flakes.
Photos does not do justice to the beautiful display and I wasn’t able to capture video as the camera I had along didn’t have that function!
This is the rear entrance of Iluma. Please do go and experience Iluma for yourself!
在09年8月15日，我们到了新开张的大型购物中心，名为Iluma 。它坐落在武吉士和位于白沙浮广场对面。
Iluma内，一位艺术家在作墙上画。我们得知，实际上今天是Iluma 独特的设计的亮灯仪式，所以安排了一些活动。
ILuma内的电动扶梯 。使天花板上的独特设计使广场看起来非常时尚。
接着，我们看到一些在商场内进行的杂技表演，并决定留下来看看。
天啊！一百八十度的倒挂皮腿。惊人的特技加上音响效果让节目非常精彩。
很高兴我们看到这个表演。请为儿童和青少年的表演大声鼓掌！
到了外头，也有印尼音乐演奏和其他表演。
在Iluma的入口处，不少人聚集看看发生了什么事。看到独特和菱形的物体吗 ，今晚这些将会亮起灯来。我相信一定很好看！
我们四处走到厌倦，因此在Breko咖啡休息喘息，就在Iluma的旁边。由于天气正在降温我们决定坐在外面而且还可以检看Iluma的状况 。
Breko欢乐时光促销-两瓶Asahi就S$12++。 其实你可以从一个固定的酒单选择任何2瓶酒。 🙂
Empire State是一个设在4楼的餐厅。好像卖得是纽约风格的食物。
在同一楼，有一家7间不同日本餐馆混合，也称Ebiboshi Shotengai。最终的结和是有点像Movenpick Marche Restaurant餐厅。精选的餐厅是Katsumiya ， Tsubohachi （日本排名第一的菜） ， Sanshigo ， Menya Manpei ，Tora Shabu, Teppan No Hoshi and Sweet Brothers。
Tora Shabu -采用法国女佣式招待？如果允许拍摄我可能会来。:P
Sweet Brothers -日本甜点和饮料。
让为你摆姿势和拍照。:P
Ebiboshi Shotengai-忍者学校？我想学习螺旋丸和千鸟！哈哈！
Marble Slab Creamery-在地球上最新鲜的冰淇淋。相信这是第一家在新加坡开幕的店。下一次我会试试看。
我们来Iluma主要的原因，是因为我们已经在Film Garde预定了电影票。 2张票S$19，预订费S$1。
出售饮料，爆米花， nachos和其他小吃让你同时享受电影，但请不要打扰到邻居。:)
G.I. Joe– The rise of the cobra。这是我们看得电影。预告如下。

几乎是晚上8:00 –亮灯仪式时间快到了。Iluma的外面入口，漂演仍在热闹气氛中进行。
亮灯仪式终于开始了，正如你所看到的，它可以形成词和字。
灯光总是在移动，就像一个巨型电视显示器（虽然不是平面） 。
非常明亮的灯光！我觉得这会非常适合圣诞节的气氛，因为它的外观像雪花。
照片对漂亮的显示不公平。我没能捕捉视频因为我的相机没这种功能！
这是Iluma的后面。请到Iluma体会吧！
