Instead of flying to Korea, we can now enjoy the sensory experience that tricks one's visual perception in Singapore.

Alive Museum, originated from South Korea in 2009, has opened a branch in Singapore!
Alive Museum is a 3D visual illusion museum which allows visitors to take photos with clever paintings, digital art pieces and unique art objects. It is a popular attraction for tourists all around the world.  

Alive museum currently has a total of 15 branches: eight in South Korea, three in China and one each in Thailand, Vietnam, Turkey and recently in Singapore.
The largest branch is in Jeju Island which has at least 1.5 million visitors per year.

All their artworks are hand-painted and handcrafted by Alive Museum's own team of talented artists from South Korea.
Moreover, to stay current and to attract return visitors, about 30% of the collections are refreshed every year and special exhibits are held during major holiday seasons such as Christmas and Chinese New Year.

What's so unique about Alive Museum in Singapore?

1. There are over 80 master pieces, of which 9 are locally themed and unique to Singapore
2. Singapore 50 project: The museum will engage local communities through teachers, students and Singaporeans from various walk of life to create artworks that they think define the essence of Singapore. Of these, 20 entries will be showcased in Alive Museum Singapore by year-end, bringing total number of artworks to more than 100. More information will be released at the later stag
3. Looking for an unconventional venue? Alive Museum allows visitor to book their private function room (can host up to 60 guests) for special events such as birthday party 

Welcome to our Lala Land where everything you see here are Fantasies

Once upon a time, there were two curious girls named 

Sandra & Evelyn. 

They found a painting on the wall. 

and were memorized by it.

They accidentally pulled the frame 

and water started to gush out of it..

And they started their fantasies ......

Evelyn & Sandra in Wonder Land

Sailing by the river

OMG!

 Sandra was sucked into the pool

Evelyn came to rescue

They both went into the sea.

Woke up in the morning & realized that they have turned into

little mermaids under the Sea

Little mermaids met Spider-man and 

immediately they fell in love

They found out Spider-man has an affair.

Out of anger, they killed spiderman &

ruled the world.

All men shall now obey

They love to dance

So Do You Think You Can Dance?

Dance like Michael Jackson

                                                   Ballet

Disco Dance

Jump & Jump

Pole Dance

They love adventures and often get into trouble

Escaped from the crocodile!

Escaped from the dead!

The side view.

 

Caught by an elephant

Caught by the cat

However, they were strong enough to fight back

But they couldn't escape from God's hand

Save Me!

So they prayed to God

God listened to their prayer and sent a bird to rescue them

But they fell off from the sky

.

.

.

And became

ANGELS

What is Do Not Call Registry?

Have you ever received unimportant calls from marketing sales agents which disrupted your meeting/work?

Or

Have you experienced receiving multiple advertisement SMS from unknown numbers?

Annoyed?

Frustrated?

Want to stop this? 

Your Savior is here!!

Do Not Call (DNC) Registry

It is an initiative run by Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) - a government statutory body established to administer and enforce the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA).

So if you will like to stop receiving unsolicited telemarketing messages, you may register your telephone numbers with DNC Registry!

You can customize the types of marketing channel you will not like to received. There are in general 3 types:

1) No Voice Call Register
2) No Text Messages Register
3) No Fax Messager Register

And you may choose to reject all 3 sources of marketing information or only restrict the sales marketing from calling you or only restrict them from SMS-ing you, which ever combination you like.

However, there are some things which are classified as non-marketing messages and is not protected under DNC registry

1) Service call (e.g. reminder for an appointment)
2) Market survey or research 
3) Charitable or religious causes (e.g. donations to a charitable organisation)
4) Business-to-Business (B2B) (e.g. corporate insurance as opposed to personal insurance)
5) Head hunting calls (So you do not need to worry that if you have registered your number under DNC registry, you will not be head hunted!)

So only pure consumer tele-consulting calls/SMS/fax on the number registered under DNC registry will be protected

Till here, you should be wondering.... How Can I register? 
There are 3 ways of registration: online, SMS and phone. 
And it's free to register. 

You may only register from 2nd December 2013 onwards

1) Online @ DNC Registry Website: http://www.dnc.gov.sg/


2) SMS

3) Phone

If you are still not too sure, you can check out the video below:

You may wonder what is the penalty if sales marketing agents still call you after you have registered your number? 

--> You can lodge a complain to PDPC with information of the organization/marketing agents. 
Successful complain will lead to a fine from S$ 1,000 to S$ 10,000 on the organizations which breach the act.

With a such a hefty fine, most organization will probably not take the risk. 

However, organization may still call/ SMS you if you have given them clear consent to do so, and it can be in consent forms or materials which you have agreed.

In the future, we have to read the terms and conditions clearly before we agree on it as it may be conditions that provide them with the consent to market their products to you. 

Important Points for Consumers: 

Consumer may still receive telemarketing calls after registration: 
1) Within 30/60 days* after registration
2) If they have given clear consent to specific organizations (before or after registration) for telemarketing
3) If they receive overseas telemarketing messages for overseas products and services only (the overseas telemarketer cannot have any link to Singapore organizations, else consumer has the rights to charge related company in Singapore)
* 60 days for the period before 2 July 2014 and 30 days for the period on or after 2 July 2014.

Timeline:

1) 2nd Dec 2013: Consumers may register early from this date but the DNC provisions have not taken effect and organizations are not obligated to start checking the DNC Registry yet

2) 2nd Jan 2014: Organizations must check DNC Registry before conducting telemarketing activities and consumers may still receive telemarketing messages for up to 60 days

3) 2nd July 2014: Consumers may still receive telemarketing for up to 30 days
