Do you know what is a Merlion and its origin?
For a really long time, I used to think that Merlion is the combined form of Mermaid and lion. It does make sense though, right?
So the Merlion is the official mascot of Singapore, depicted as a mythical creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish.
It has been said that the Merlion reflects the legend of Sang Nila Utama, a Malay prince, who discovered a fishing island called Temasek (which mean “fish town” in Javanese). It was there that he met with a majestic creature, a lion, which purported him to name the island Singapura which translated to “Lion City” in Sanskrit. So the Merlion reflects the lion that the prince discovered.
With Sang Nila’s tale as a basis, the Merlion was designed by Fraser Brunner as an emblem for the Singapore Tourism Board, adding a fish tail to the statue to signify Singapore’s humble beginnings as a fishing village.
This sculpture is located in front of Fullerton Hotel and overlooking the Marina Bay. The night view of this place is simply spectacular!
You will also find a Merlion cub in this park. Other than these two Merlion, there are 5 more Merlion including the one in Sentosa.
Quick Quiz: Is it a male Merlion or female, eh? 🤣

Happy International Women's Day! 🌍♀️
Heroines come in all shapes and all sizes, all forms and all personalities - you're still superhuman in my book.
Take a moment today to sit with yourself, to think about all you are and all you have accomplished, and recognize that it is enough. You are enough.
As a matter of fact - you're more than. More than the voices. More than the doubt. More than this silly old world can handle. You are a creature of mythical power, still walking the modern world in disguise. 🦄🐉
Never let 'em take away your strength, and never let you take away your strength.
Love you all! 💜
Ft. some of the beautiful, magnificent mermaids of @thesingaporemermaidschool. Love these women to bits and always amazed by their strength and beauty! Can't wait to have them back in here soon 🏊

雖然春節假期已經結束,但相信春節期間不少人都會到廟裡求財運、祈求來年一切順利,那你/妳知道新北還有罕見的 #龜公廟 嗎? #新北英語小教室 就要教大家「拜拜」的英文怎麼說~
#新北鶯歌 #碧龍宮 因廟內主祀一顆形似烏龜的石頭,而有「龜公廟」之稱,早期當地民眾前往參拜(worship / pray)後傳出許多傳奇故事,也使信眾陸續增多,原有小型廟宇在經改建且擲筊(cast + moon blocks / divination blocks )獲准後,正式以碧龍宮為名。早年龜公聖誕(農曆3月26日)時,當地全民總動員,廟會活動、神像遶境(pilgrimage),家家戶戶擺流水席(outdoor party)招待親朋好友與外地前來參拜的信眾,十分熱鬧!
香火鼎盛的「碧龍宮」入口處樓梯,有著栩栩如生的神獸(mythical animal/ legendary creature)3D彩繪,讓前來參拜的民眾在節節高升的階梯中和彩繪合照,個個都能感受到福氣滿滿!另外今年還有應景的財神爺彩繪,讓大家今年財運發發發!
📖 英語單字小教室
✔️【拜拜/參拜】英文是worship / pray
✔️【擲筊】英文是cast + moon blocks / divination blocks
✔️【遶境】英文是pilgrimage
✔️【流水席】英文是outdoor party
✔️【神獸】英文是mythical animal/ legendary creature
例句:
1⃣Casting divination blocks will tell you if god allows you to draw a fortune stick or not.
擲筊會告訴你神明是否願意讓你抽靈籤。
2⃣Many of the pilgrimages in Taiwan last year was cancelled owing to Covid-19.
去年臺灣很多場神明遶境都因為新冠肺炎而停辦了。

Audioquest 創辦人 William E. Low 早前親臨香港,為香港發燒友介紹最新 Mythical Creature 神獸喇叭線材系列,主要由《雷鳥ThunderBird》、《火鳥FireBird》及《龍Dragon》所組成,相比該社過往作品,這三位新成員將會同時間推出Zero及 Bass兩個版本,意味著用家既可一次過買齊Zero及Bass兩個版本,即玩Bi-wire之餘,亦可先入手Zero版本作全頻接駁,日後再投資 Bass版本提升低頻。

Posted on my Facebook page too: Facebook.com/redhongyi
Facebook wanted a mural on their 10 meter long wall in their Singapore office, and requested that it be made of chopsticks as the space is right beside their cafe (which serves amazing food all day - employees are so lucky!). I wanted to explore bamboo chopsticks as a material and experiment with alternative methods to create murals, so instead of painting on the wall, I decided to set it ablaze. 15,000 bamboo chopsticks were glued, torched, then layered again and burnt a few more times to create depth and dimension to the piece.
This piece depicts the story of the Merlion - a mythical creature with the head of a lion and body of a fish, and its significance as Singapore's national icon. The Merlion is the guardian of Singapore and has protected the country from waves, storms and enemies, from its early days as a village to where it is now. The Merlion is seen smiling as it is looking forward to the the future with enthusiasm and hope.
Big thanks to Mond and Jannette of United Make - UDMK for working on this project with me (shown in video), as well as my team Vanessa Bong, Michael Mack and Sam Koh (not shown in video). The amazing Jootz See of Back Alley Creations for shooting and directing this, and FB head chef Tim Wong for being game enough to act in this video (last-minute request! We actually really did take all of his chopsticks). And a massive thank you to Facebook for having me create this piece - it was so much fun and I loved working with your team, and in your beautiful office!
ps: Notice the little details - like the boats in his mane and the fisherman on his boat with his Facebook browser on, on his laptop (in reference to internet.org!).
