What happened?? What a serious blackout!! Or is it a blackout??

The answer is no. It wasn’t a blackout. These photos were taken on 26 March 2011 at 8.30pm.

You would ask if there is any reason why specifically at that date and that time.

The reply is that it was Earth Hour at that time. Yes, that’s right! 26 March 2011 was the day of Earth Hour 2011!!

Did you play a part in Earth Hour 2011 to save the environment? G4 did play a part! In fact, this is our 3rd time participating in Earth Hour.

Book with us to share the happiness together during these events!! We have celebrations with our guests for all occasions and festivals.

What are some events that are coming up in Singapore?? (I wonder too…)

Did some findings on the Singapore Tourism Board website and these are what i found:

Singapore Biennale 2011: Open House (13 Mar–15 May 2011)

The exhibitions will be presented across four venues: Housing Development Board flats (Singapore Art Museum and SAM at 8Q), shopping centres and night markets (National Museum of Singapore), international air, sea ports (Old Kallang Airport) and a major project amplifying individual experience in the city (Marina Bay).
One of the most talked about works of the Singapore Biennale 2011 is the Merlion Hotel. The national icon is currently hoarded up as it undergoes restoration work and Japanese artist Tatzu Nishi saw an opportunity to convert the site into a hotel room. The installation will allow the guests to spend a night with the half-lion half-fish statue.

Fashion Season @ Orchard 2011 (25 March to 8 May 2011)

With great offers happening during this season, indulge in some retail therapy with the plethora of high-street and high-end labels in the city. You’ll also be thrilled at the stellar line-up of fashion shows and parties, all in the heart of Singapore, Orchard Road.

Be mesmerised by top Asian models and international labels at the 2011 Orchard Fashion Runway Show, which is set to take place both indoors and outdoors at Orchard ION. These emerging Asian models will also be up against one another for the coveted title of FSO Asian Model 2011.

Other exciting events at this year’s FSO include FSO Best Fashion Window Display – where you’ll stand a chance to win fantastic prizes by voting for your favourite store. Some of the participating brands include Guess, Banana Republic and Topshop.

More updates of upcoming events will be coming up soon…

Hi everyone, I’m Shi Ling.

I am a Singapore Polytechnic student who is  currently on attachment with G4.

The diploma that I am pursuing is the Diploma in Resort Facilities Services and Management,

which is actually a course related to 3 different fields:

Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Buildings.

Very chim right?? I’m sure a lot of you had never heard of this diploma before…

It is a ‘limited edition’ kind of course.. Now, you can’t even find it at all.

But I also don’t know why I chose an engineering course when I’m actually interested in Events Management.

Guess it is due to my GCE O level results….

In fact, I actually wanted to have a job dealing with Events Management or in some relation to the hotel and resort industry.

This attachment to G4 may not really be related to my course but it may be useful for me in the future.

So I am really glad to be able to be attached to G4 to have some hands-on experience in handling front-desk jobs.

Thanks a lot G4!!

Wanna know more about G4?? (or me? Just kidding! Hehe!!)
