SINGAPORE, Oct 13 — An owner of a portable projector staged his own backyard movie night by cleverly using the exterior wall of a Jurong West HDB block as a screen.
The ingenious concept was noticed by a resident living in a nearby block, who shared the unusual sight online.
Instagram user Singaporeanstory, who wanted to be known as Farhan, told AsiaOne he had inadvertently stumbled upon the “mini cinema” set up in an open-air car park last Saturday (Oct 10) night.
“I just got home and happened to peek out of my kitchen window. I rubbed my eyes, looked again, smiled and took the shot,” the 40-year-old entrepreneur said.
The short video recorded by Farhan shows a clip of Freddie Mercury from the rock band Queen being beamed onto an HDB wall.
