Ice, Ice Baby... but don't lick the ice

That song came to my mind the first thing I saw this

it says : SFMRIOLWEN

Yeap, today outside Vivo City, Health Promotion Board (HPB), celebrates positive thinking with the unveiling of the first in a series of ‘Be Positive’ art installations to inspire Singaporeans to embrace positivism in their daily activities. An inspirational ice sculpture at VivoCity will be a treat that will certainly put smile on your face.  The art installations are organised by the Health Promotion Board, in celebration of World Mental Health Day (WMHD).

So the idea is to melt the frown and smile away. Trust me, it is huge, don't let the picture do the talking. Go check it out yourself. Oh wait, by the time you go down the ice would probably have melted and you will be greeted with a smile (no pun intended.... ok ok i planned for the pun, quite obvious right?....)

So how? no more already? HAVE...... The next one is possibly gonna be at Toa Payoh Hub from 3-5 Sept. Not only that you stand to win $200 worth of vouchers in a photo contest.

My suggestion, you can do anything you want..... just don't lick the ice. Doesn't taste that nice. No really, Don't ask me how I know.

For more details of the sculpture as well as pictures. Visit the HPB Facebok page .
Then go to HPB website  to find out more about the sculptures as well as the photo contest.
