The event kicked off with one of the new MRT trains bursting through a curtain of balloons. Balloons also fell from the ceiling into audience, which promptly began stomping on them as though they were at a kid's birthday party!
We were privileged to be among the first few to take the train along the new Circle Line to the new platform at Bishan Station, where food, drinks and entertainment were ready to greet us.
The Circle Line opens tomorrow, and a whole lot of party events have been lined up for the weekend at the Bishan Circle Line Station, including free-for-all parties with the stars of The Little Nyonya and Peranakan performances on Saturday and Super Band on Sunday. There are also special items such as the "Circle Line" Danish created by Breadtalk and First Day Cover stamps. Can you also spy the SMRT staff in their spiffy new uniforms?
Do go check it out this weekend! Only 5 stations are currently open along the line, but the best thing is that all the fares collected from 28 May to 18 June will go towards the SMRT Silver Tribute Fund, which focuses on helping on the elderly in Singapore. Have fun with the family/friends at the party, be among the first to ride the new trains and know that you're contributing to charity at the same time!
One last thing, I really liked the escalators! Not sure if this is new or its actually been around, but I love the rotating wheels at the end...
