I am still in the festive mood as I scroll through and look at the pictures taken
at the recent Heineken Cities Festival.
For those of you who had missed the festival this year, the Heineken Cities Festival was a celebration
of the launch of the 6 Heineken City Edition bottles named after the top cities of the world –
Singapore, Amsterdam, Shanghai, London, New York and Rio de Janeiro.

I have never attended any parties like that in Singapore; the festival took place
along Club Street and Ann Siang Hill. Yes, ON THE STREETS!
The whole area was decorated with the flags of the different countries where the cities are from,
and littered with street performers and icons representing the 6 cities.

I am so loving the special City Edition beer bottles! Let’s let the pictures do the talking!

I have the company of my colleagues from The Tiramisu Hero and first, a selfie!

The streets were divided into different sections, each representing one of the six cities.

First up, NEW YORK!

There were some drop dead gorgeous Heineken girls handing out “USA flag hats” on the New York stretch.
And with everyone busking in the fun, the atmosphere was splendid!

Here’s my friend, Roxanne posing with her empty Singapore City edition Heineken bottle.
Time to get a new bottle, yo! I was teasing her that she looked very Uncle Sam-ish.
Hahaha!

NEW YORK is definitely a city that I’d love to visit!

And then there was the Rio de Janeiro stretch, where I spotted Brazilian Samba performers
dancing to rhythmic Samba music played by the musicians in the entourage.

Saw a couple of friends there too!

And then there was Amsterdam, one of my favourite cities!
There was also a live art installation there. I swear I could stand there
and watch the artists at work for hours. (But the beer was too much of a distraction) :p
This colourful flight and escapism themed artwork is actually the brainchild of local visual artist,
illustrator and founder of OIC (Organisation of Illustrators Council), Mindflyer.

You can also find this Heineken sign at the Amsterdam stretch.
Kinda reminds me of that iconic “i amsterdam” sign in the city no?

As we strolled through “the streets of Amsterdam”, we were welcomed by songs from the Beatles
and I spotted a freaking red phone booth in the middle of the street.

Let me guess… Red, blue and white. And lots of Jack Union hats?
We are in London!

It really kinda feels a bit like London. Our friend Roxanne was so in the “holiday” mood,
she was even game to have her face painted London style. :p

Some said that she looked like a Chingay performer.
But if you ask me, she looked more like a female wrestler (a skinny one).
What do you think? Heh!

We asked Roxanne to show us her “fiercest” face. And this is what she managed:

Er….

Let A show you how it’s done.

Now we’re talking.

Last but definitely not the least, we have the city of Shanghai!
I enjoyed the Chinese-style performance very much.
The Asian way of sexy is so subtle but so intriguing, no?

I got my hand on a Shanghai Cities Edition beer bottle too!

I just love the international nature of the event and I wish there would be more of such events
(you should make it an annual thing, Heineken!).
Being able to experience different city experiences, and to discover the world in Singapore in one night?
Hell yes!

Thank you my dear A for your company throughout the night!
