Inside Cj Hendry's Flower Market Singapore: Build Your Own Bouquet at IMBA Theatre

| |
0 comments
Hi Huneybees,

There's something strangely comforting about flowers.

Maybe it's the way they instantly brighten a room. Maybe it's the simple joy of choosing your favourite bloom. Or perhaps it's because flowers are one of those rare things that make almost everyone smile.

That feeling is exactly what greeted me when I stepped into Flower Market, the Southeast Asia debut of internationally acclaimed artist Cj Hendry's wildly popular immersive installation at IMBA Theatre, Gardens by the Bay.

After drawing massive crowds in cities like New York, Hong Kong, Abu Dhabi and Sydney, Flower Market has finally arrived in Singapore, and having attended the media preview, I can see why it draws so many people around the world to experience it.


Walking Into a Giant Flower Shop Made Entirely of Plush Blooms

The moment I entered the space, I'm a happy skippidy girl in her rainbow world. Rows upon rows of oversized plush flowers stretched across the gallery, transforming IMBA Theatre into what felt like a whimsical dream version of a neighbourhood flower stand.

Instead of traditional artworks hanging on walls, visitors are encouraged to wander through the floral landscape, pick up stems, compare colours, and build a bouquet that feels uniquely theirs. It's playful, interactive and surprisingly therapeutic.

Unlike many art exhibitions where you're asked to admire from a distance, Flower Market invites you to become part of the experience. You can touch the flowers, carry them around, photograph them, and most importantly, choose your favourites to take home.

Yes, every visitor receives one complimentary flower, but trust me, that's rarely where it ends. As you wander through the floral wonderland, you'll find yourself picking out bloom after bloom, slowly creating the perfect bouquet to take home. I certainly couldn't stop at just one!


A Singapore Twist That Makes This Edition Special

What makes the Singapore edition particularly exciting is the inclusion of 8 flower varieties created exclusively for its Southeast Asia debut.

Among the more than 30 plush flower varieties on display are local favourites such as the Papilionanthe Miss Joaquim, Singapore's national flower, alongside the distinctive Raffles' Pitcher Plant and vibrant Singapore Ginger Flower.

As someone who enjoys seeing international exhibitions embrace local culture, I thought this was a lovely touch. It gives the Singapore edition its own identity rather than simply recreating what visitors experienced elsewhere. Naturally, I couldn't resist building my bouquet around these Singapore-inspired blooms, creating what I like to call my very own "Cj Hendry Singapore bouquet".


More Than Just an Instagram-Worthy Experience

Of course, the Flower Market is incredibly photogenic.Every corner feels designed for your camera roll, whether you're posing among colourful blooms or proudly showing off the bouquet you've assembled.

But beyond the visual appeal, what impressed me most was how approachable the experience feels.

Cj Hendry has built a global reputation for creating large-scale installations that blur the line between art, entertainment and public participation. Flower Market perfectly captures that philosophy.

You don't need to understand contemporary art.

You don't need to study artist statements.

You simply walk in, explore, play, choose flowers and leave smiling.

And somehow, that's the beauty of it all. The way each visitor wanders through the market, carefully selects their blooms, and creates a bouquet that becomes a small work of art that reflects the person holding it. 🌸

Who Is Cj Hendry?

I first discovered Cj Hendry (Catherine Jenna Hendry) through her hyper-realistic large-scale drawings and was amazed by how much detail she could capture in seemingly ordinary subjects. Since then, the Australian-born, New York-based artist has gained international recognition for transforming everyday objects into immersive experiences that blur the line between art, spectacle and audience participation. Her installations encourage visitors to do more than just observe; they invite us to step inside, interact, and become part of the artwork itself.

From an Olympic-sized pool in the middle of the Mojave Desert to her wildly popular Flower Market installations that have drawn crowds around the world, Cj Hendry's work has a knack for turning everyday experiences into something unexpectedly magical.

What I find particularly fascinating is how accessible her art feels. You don't need an art history degree to appreciate it. Whether you're admiring her incredibly detailed drawings or wandering through one of her immersive worlds, the focus is always on curiosity, joy and human connection.

With sold-out exhibitions, celebrity collectors and thousands of eager fans waiting to experience her latest creations, she has become one of the most sought-after contemporary artists working today. Seeing her bring not one, but two major experiences to Singapore feels like a real treat for local audiences.


Next Up: The World Premiere of juju world

While Flower Market is only here for a limited five-day run, the excitement doesn't end there.

Starting 20 June, IMBA Theatre will host the world premiere of juju world, the first-ever immersive inflatable experience dedicated to Cj Hendry's popular juju collectible series. The experience will feature a bold new yellow colourway created specifically for Singapore, along with exclusive large-sized jujus that won't be available anywhere else after the exhibition closes. (I bet this exclusivity will be abig draw for crowds).

If Flower Market is any indication of what's to come, juju world looks set to continue Cj Hendry's tradition of turning everyday joy and nostalgia into larger-than-life experiences. 


What I love most about Flower Market is that it reminds us art doesn't always have to be serious to be meaningful. Sometimes, art can simply be joyful.

And judging by the smiles I saw throughout the media preview, I don't think I was the only one.

One little wish from me though: let's enjoy Flower Market in the spirit it was intended. Part of the magic comes from everyone getting the chance to discover their favourite blooms and create something uniquely their own. Pick the flowers you love, be mindful of fellow visitors, and let's keep the experience blooming beautifully for everyone. 🌸

Pokémon Fans, Assemble! Pokémon Center Singapore Is Reopening With A Brand-New Look

0 comments
Hi Huneybees,

If you've ever found yourself making a beeline for Pokémon Center Singapore whenever you're at Jewel Changi Airport, you're going to want to mark 1 July 2026 on your calendar.

After months behind hoarding boards, Pokémon Center Singapore is finally reopening and we are not talking about just a fresh coat of paint. This is actually the first full-scale renovation of a Pokémon Center outside Japan, making it a pretty big moment for Pokémon fans here in Singapore.

As someone who grew up with Pokémon and still gets excited spotting a Pikachu plush on a store shelf, I have to admit this reopening sounds dangerously tempting for both my inner child and my wallet.

A New Look Inspired By Singapore

One thing that immediately caught my attention is how the refreshed store takes inspiration from Singapore's own cultural identity. It's a thoughtful touch that makes the store feel more rooted here while still delivering that unmistakable Pokémon magic.

As someone who's visited the current store more times than I'd like to admit, I always appreciated the little nods to Singapore, especially the Peranakan-inspired tile designs scattered around the space. From the preview images, it looks like the new Pokémon Center is taking that idea much further, weaving local elements throughout the store to create an experience that feels uniquely Singaporean.

Even before stepping inside, visitors will be greeted by an impressive new façade featuring Pikachu alongside the store's brand-new symbol Pokémon.

Say Hello To Solgaleo

For years, Pokémon Center Singapore has had its own identity, but now it has a new mascot to call its own.

The Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo will become the new symbol Pokémon for Pokémon Center Singapore, taking pride of place on the store's logo and exterior. With its magnificent sun-like mane, it's hard to think of a more striking Pokémon to welcome visitors into the store.

The choice of Solgaleo definitely caught me by surprise. But the more I look at it, the more it makes sense. It's majestic, instantly recognisable, and its lion-like appearance feels strangely fitting for Singapore. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I can't help seeing a tiny bit of Merlion energy in there too.


A Place For Fans To Gather

Beyond shopping, one of the most exciting additions is a dedicated event space located at the back of the store.

The space will be equipped to host activities related to Pokémon video games, the Trading Card Game, and mobile gaming. For local trainers, collectors and competitive players, it sounds like Pokémon Center Singapore is evolving into more than just a retail store, it's really turning the in-game Pokémon Center coem to live as a community hub where fans can battle, trade and connect.

As someone who's watched the Pokémon community in Singapore grow over the years, this is definitely one of the most meaningful upgrades in the entire renovation.

Special Edition Singapore Merchandise Incoming

Get ready for some major wallet damage!

To celebrate the reopening, Pokémon Center Singapore will be releasing a collection of special edition merchandise inspired by Singapore life. The first wave includes plush versions of Solgaleo and Pikachu, along with adorable products inspired by the humble local kopi cup.

The merchandise artwork imagines Pokémon living among familiar Singapore-inspired cityscapes, making these souvenirs feel especially meaningful for local fans and overseas visitors alike.

(Image Credit: ©2026 Pokémon. ©1995-2026 Nintendo/Creatures Inc./GAME FREAK inc. TM, ®, and character names are trademarks of Nintendo.)

A second wave of products is also scheduled to arrive in August, including a Pikachu-and-kopi themed bag charm that already sounds like something collectors will be hunting for. I'm definitely all geared up and making space in my display cabinet for these new collectibles!

Planning Your Visit

If you're thinking of heading down on opening week, be prepared.

Demand is expected to be high, and entry during the first five days (1–5 July 2026) will be managed through advance reservations and same-day queue tickets. Morning admission slots from 10am to 1pm require prior reservation, while same-day queue tickets will be distributed onsite from 8.30am onwards.

In other words, don't expect to casually stroll in on day one.
*Please refrain from gathering or waiting around the store premises before the designated ticket distribution time.
*Pokémon Singapore reserves the right to refuse entry to anyone who does not follow staff instructions or whose behaviour causes a nuisance to the surrounding community.

For the latest updates on store entry, follow the official Pokémon Center SINGAPORE Instagram at www.instagram.com/pokemonofficial.sg.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gona go prepare a shopping list for those exclusive plushies!
Mark your calendars and see you all at the new store!

Why Goodman Arts Centre’s June Artventure Initiative Has Me Intrigued

| |
0 comments
Hi Huneybees,

There’s something oddly charming about wandering through an arts space without fully knowing what you’re about to stumble into.

Maybe it’s a half-open studio door. Maybe it’s hearing music echoing down a corridor. Or maybe it’s suddenly discovering that behind one quiet room is an artist painting, rehearsing, sculpting or building something entirely unexpected.

That’s probably why Goodman Arts Centre has always intrigued me.

Most people know it as an arts enclave, but unless you’ve actually spent time exploring the grounds, you probably wouldn’t realise just how many artists, performers, creators and creative communities quietly exist inside this space.

On 6 June, Goodman Arts Centre is opening things up a little more through its new GAC Artventure initiative, where visitors are invited to wander through Open Studios, explore self-guided themed trails, and step into the working spaces of artists across the centre.

While there’s a huge lineup happening throughout the day, these were some of the activities that have caught my attention.


🎨 For The Creatives And Curious Minds

One of the activities that instantly stood out to me was the Introduction to Manga & Comic Character Drawing Workshop by ComXnaut Studio. The sessions are beginner-friendly and explore manga illustration basics like character anatomy, shapes and design, making it feel approachable even if you’ve never properly drawn before. Maybe this might just awaken my animation bug again?

Another one I’d probably stop by is the Studio SuperSegak Open Studio by Iefa Shamsir and Asno, where visitors can explore printmaking, woodblock printing, silkscreen demonstrations and even live graffiti sessions. I find there’s something very satisfying about seeing art being made live instead of only viewing finished works on walls.

And for those who enjoy getting hands-on with trendy creative hobbies, the Tufting Jam sessions by EBAO (DPLMT) honestly sound like one of the more unexpectedly fun stops of the day. Visitors get to experiment with textures and learn the basics of tufted artworks in a relaxed environment.

This sounds like an artsy weekend date energy eh?


🌿 The Unexpectedly Calming Experiences

Out of the entire lineup, one experience I’m especially curious about is Silent Nourishment by Neil Chua.  The session combines harmonic resonance, sound healing, hands-on tutorials and a curated tea experience within the artist’s studio.

There’s also the Leafy Abstract Prints Workshop by Valerie Ng, where participants create layered abstract prints inspired by nature using leaves, rollers and mixed media techniques. I bet this one will get loads of family and kids excited.


🌱 The Surprise Highlight For Me

One thing I genuinely did not expect while reading through the lineup was discovering that Goodman Arts Centre actually has a community farm tucked within the grounds.

The Goodman Community Farm activities include guided farm tours, botanical beverage tastings, and a small kinship market featuring regenerative food products and produce grown within the community. I think this makes the entire event feel less like a conventional arts programme and more like wandering through a hidden creative village where art, nature and community quietly overlap, which will make the Artventure feel different.


🎭 For Families And Little Explorers

Families with children will probably find quite a few fun stops throughout the day too. The Artground’s Lost Islands installation sounds especially magical, bringing myths and legends from Singapore and Indonesia to life through interactive sensory experiences.

There’ll also be:

  • caricature portraits
  • face painting
  • henna art
  • butterfly painting
  • puppetry experiences
  • children dance showcases
  • hands-on craft activities

spread across the centre throughout the day. So, even casual visitors who aren’t deeply into the arts will probably still find something playful or interactive to enjoy.


🥾 Self-Guided Trails

Beyond the open studios themselves, GAC Artventure also introduces self-guided themed trails around Goodman Arts Centre.

The concepts sound pretty fun, which ones will you take on?

  • The Curious Wanderer encourages visitors to freely roam and collect stamps along the way
  • The Art Explorer focuses on discovering artworks and open studios across the grounds
  • The Time Discoverer uncovers stories from Goodman’s past through “Postcards from the Past”

It feels almost game-like in a very relaxed and artsy way, rather than turning art into something intimidating or formal, this feels more like an open invitation to explore at your own pace, linger a little longer, and maybe stumble onto something unexpected behind a studio door.



⭐If You Have More Time To Explore…

There’s honestly a lot more happening throughout Goodman Arts Centre across the day, including:

  • shadow puppetry rehearsals by Paper Monkey Theatre
  • contemporary dance rehearsals by T.H.E Dance Company
  • abstract art sharing sessions
  • immersive theatre experiences
  • printmaking showcases
  • handbell performances
  • live artist demonstrations
  • contemporary installations
  • literary showcases
  • woodcut printmaking studios
  • community art activations
  • artist conversations and open rehearsals

So if you enjoy slow wandering weekends, discovering hidden creative spaces, or simply experiencing a different side of Singapore’s arts scene, this looks like one of those events worth spending an afternoon at.

Sometimes the fun isn’t about seeing one big headline attraction.
Sometimes it’s about wandering into the unexpected.
