UT Pop-Up Singapore

It has been a jam-packed week, both physically and emotionally. Now that I am working, many activities are taking place during the weekends (and after working hours). Come to think of it, I'm thankful to the mid-week break on Labour Day. One activity I really want to find time for is to blog. So here I am, trying to squeeze in an hour (hopefully less) before meeting SF for Shakespeare in the Park - Othello this evening! :)

 

XF and GT wanted to meet for dinner yesterday and I suggested we go to the UT Pop-Up Singapore before that. Interesting event. Although we did not managed to buy any stuff as we did not see any UT shirts we really fancy ( they were either out of stock or sizes). Maybe because we went too late?

 

Cool venue was 72-13 @ Mohd Sultan. A place to consider if you want to hold any corporate events. Thumbs up to Uniqlo for being 'first-mover' in selecting the venue for the 2013 UT Pop-Up SIN!   

 

Unlike the bright and cheery Uniqlo stores, there was a dark and misty air in this pop-up store. Guess the organisers were trying to evoke a arty hippy indie ambiance, maybe along the line of artist workshop (think Andy Warhol factory)...

Of course, the highlight was the UT shirts! Many collaborations were on display - think Disney, National Geographic, Laduree etc.



Wanted to get one of the Lula Guinness t-shirts but did not see any around on sale :( Will check out the stores later. *WINK WINK*



Local band performances by.... Kudos to Uniqlo for its CSR efforts to promote local art in its events!



A customised give-away! Well, I did walked away with something :P The organisers tried to engage guests with video-taking/photo-taking activities - wear UT shirts to get discount coupons for participation. Nice touch, although the staff were looking a bit weary! Somehow, I feel bad for them... Cheer up!

 



Buses to ferry visitors to and fro the venue from City Hall and Somerset MRT stations! Amazed that they even painted the bus for a 2-day campaign!



I find UT Pop-Up SIN quite cool. It's still on today, so you may want to check it out if you are in Singapore or Mohd Sultan area. A nice way to end your weekend if you do not have any plans. Happy Sunday! :)
