The Great Egg-Venture

Singapore – Come 14 March to 5 April 2015, the Sentosa HarbourFront precinct will put on Singapore’s largest Easter Fiesta celebrations. Organised by the Sentosa HarbourFront Business Association, the activities and promotions span across more than 20 different establishments in the precinct, from special Easter menus to a new exclusive Easter show at Universal Studios Singapore.

The Giant Egg Hunt

Singapore’s biggest egg hunt – The Giant Egg Hunt, will take participants on a journey up Mount Faber, across the Sentosa harbour and onto the island resort in search for 100 giant eggs. Measuring 1.8 metres by 1 metre, the giant eggs have been hand painted by more than 300 members of the community through an egg design competition. Hunt through the nooks and crannies of the Sentosa HarbourFront precinct for all 100 giant eggs and participants will stand a chance to win attractive prizes. The egg hunt was entered into the Singapore Book of Records last year for the largest egg hunt ever conducted in Singapore.

Charity Auction

From the Philippines, Melissa Yeung, a self-taught artist, gets her inspiration from Asian indigenous culture and its environment. Melissa dedicates her life working with marginalized indigenous communities and has worked with tribes, farmers, and fishermen. Her paintings offer a modern glimpse of the past, inviting audiences to look back with gratitude towards indigenous heritage while moving forward into modern times. Together with John Tan, a teacher at the University of Philippines who sculpts clay portraits and builds robots from scratch, they have joined their creative minds to decorate an egg for charity.

Familiar with the spotlight, Cheung Chilam of Hong Kong has cut albums and walked numerous red carpets. Taking time out of from his busy schedule, Chilam has embraced his creative side together with his son, Morton, to decorate an egg.

“I’m used to painting on flat canvas and this is the first time I’m painting an egg. It was a little challenging, but I’m very happy with how it turned out. The egg is inspired by my character Captain Cool in my new movie and I’m very honoured to be part of this charity event. I hope to continue taking part in more charity events across different countries” adds Cheung Chilam who also cites Sentosa and Universal Studios Singapore as one of his favourite places in Singapore.
