THE SINGAPORE SPORTS HUB

The fully integrated sports, entertainment and lifestyle hub is celebrating Singapore's 55th birthday with a virtual twist to its annual National Day Fiesta, which can be enjoyed from the comfort of home.

With a theme focused on progressing 'Onwards & Stronger Together', the 55-minute show will be broadcast on the Singapore Sports Hub's YouTube channel on Aug 9 at 1pm and will be hosted by local actress Michelle Chong's popular character Ah Lian.

This year's National Day Fiesta encourages viewers to take part in K-Pop Craze, as KpopX Fitness and more than 20 K-pop and hip-hop dance groups lead a 30-minute fitness and dance party.

Meanwhile, Ah Lian will be joined by fellow Left Profile artistes Pornsak, Lee Teng and Royce Lee to lead the community in a #PlankThatSong challenge, where participants are challenged to sing a National Day song while maintaining good form in a plank position.

The National Day Fiesta is part of the ongoing fifth anniversary celebrations at the Singapore Sports Hub, which has created an interactive map (www.sportshub.com.sg/virtual-play) to commemorate the occasion.

Members of the public can revel in the festivities by checking out new Instagram filters to get picture-ready for both birthday milestones and explore the map for interesting trivia and games to play on a virtual adventure.

ANESSA

Japan's No. 1 sunscreen brand's first make-up product and new addition to its award-winning sun protection series is the Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Base Makeup SPF 50+ PA+++.
