It was a super fun night yesterday to be down at 313@Somerset, jumping and "making snow angels" in the 313-style adult ball pit. YES! Move aside kids, these adults need some ball pit time too!
Located at the Level 1, Atrium, 313 shoppers can jump into this pool of "snow balls" for 10 minutes for free, with no strings attached. Follow @313Somerset on Instagram and share your amazing photo moments with the hashtag #313CHRISTMAS , to stand to win a GoPro HERO4 Silver!
This makes a special spot for Christmas photography with your friends and family. Judging from how crazy we went, stress level is decreased tremendously! This also makes a good place for gathering. chill after a meal and don't forget to bring your wide lens and fish eye lens! :)
And fans of Desmond Tan 陈泂江, be sure to be there at 3pm to spend an afternoon of games, fun and a free hug with this TV heartthrob himself!

I was invited to 313@Somerset recently to experience what it feels to be a CLUB313 member. At the CLUB313 Extravaganza, an atrium fair was held from Feb 28 to Mar 3 for shoppers to get a sneak peek into the many exciting workshops and the exclusive privileges that await the CLUB313 members.
What is CLUB313? CLUB313 is a loyalty programme for shoppers of 313, and their theme isMore rewards, more recognition, more experiences, more surprises. In layman terms, instead of just awarding points, themallhas decided to reward its shoppers with experience-based items instead.
When I arrived at the event, there was already a Horoscope talk going on. So I went ahead to explore the other booths. There were 5 booths set up and the first one that attracted me was the special previews of limited edition footwear from L.E. Way, one of 313′s tenants.
The Adidas Poodle shoe was the one that attracted me. Costing at $289, will you get it?
The next station was a nail art tutorial booth by Summer Nails. We could choose from 3 designs and I chose to learn how to draw the flowers. Actually it wasn't as difficult as it looks!
Check out the many pretty designs that they created! More ideas for my next D.I.Y. nail art designs!
Yipee! I finished up my nail tip and it's so simple to do! Just 5 mins!!!
Hehehe. Cheryl stole pictures of me while I drew...
There was also a Wine Appreciation Booth by Straits Wine Company but seriously is the 2 cute guys that's selling! *Oops*

And finally, my favourite! A booth with Etude House for an eye makeup touchup. As well as tips sharing with the makeup artist...

Through the wonderful works of Charlie Lim - renowned Singapore photographer introduces his remarkable technique of light art into designing Christmas cards for shoppers at 313@somerset. This method of photography uses a single source of light and paints the subject in the dark while the camera captures the image. The effect is a visual treat that creates a work of art for each shopper who participates.
From 7 – 23 December, every Friday to Sunday, 12pm to 7pm, at Basement 2 (next to Din Tai Fung), the first 80 shoppers each day who spend a minimum of $150 will have an opportunity to get their photo taken. All CLUB313 members are guaranteed redemption.

The technology also allows a more personal approach towards shoppers as the App identifies relevant promotions, offers and events for them based on previous purchase patterns and profile information. The ease of in-app navigation, coupled with its capability of drawing on shoppers’ trends and insights redefine the way malls connect with shoppers.
