Alight - the Spring Lantern Festival Celebration - was very successful. Over 500 guests enjoyed the Lanterns created specifically for this event by 33 local and international artists. At the same time, they loved the fun of guessing the riddles and brought prizes home with great pride of satisfaction. Alight is very prominent to arouse the awareness of this important festival and its traditions among our generation.

Sin Sin and the team would like to thank all of you for your support and look forward to seeing you again in the next opening reception of "Late Night Contemplation".

Stephanie Sin at a group exhibition - "Stretched Connotations"

"Stretched Connotations" explores the practice of avoidance or the disposition of dealing with disagreeable matters to which normally would not be referred directly. Is it possible that such indirect references in Art, might work in the same way that euphemisms do in everyday spoken language?

Nyepi Day - Balinese celebrate the Caka New Year

16 March 2010 is Nyepi day or seclution day, the day when Balinese celebrate the Caka New Year.

Wong how Man, President of China Exploration and Research Society wrote the following note while he was staying at Villa Sin Sin during Nyepi day 2009.

"On this day, the island's inhabitants stay inside their homes. There are four types of fasting that the Balinese observe on this seclusion day, amati geni (no fire), amati karya (no work), amati lelungan (no going out of the compound), and amati lelanguan (no entertainment). The fasting starts before sunrise and tranquility enveloped the island for the entire day, allowing the Balinese to open the New Year with a clean white page to write the new phase of life as darkness fades away this very evening. It is so wonderful for people to reflect quietly on their life, revisit values long forgotten or lost. It has a very serene cleansing quality to it."
