THE SKY SYMPHONY COUNTDOWN 2006
NEW YEARS EVE CELEBRATIONS ON/AROUND MOUNT FABER: THE JEWEL BOX AND
SEAH IM CARPARK
This year end countdown, find your Happy Ending to the year in the
resplendent fairytale kingdom at The Jewel Box and around Mount
Faber.
Countdown Dinner at The Jewel Box
A limited and exclusive population of 999 guests will be able
celebrate the high profile, glamorous and magical Countdown at The
Jewel Box. On that mythical night, there will be six unique dining
experiences for our guests to select from.
1. Banquet in the style of elfin kings and queens in the Faber
Grand Ballroom. With decadent setting and ambience as well as
delectable cuisine, guests can indulge in a sit- down fine dining
reception with a magnificent view of the Singapore harbour. Our
guests will be able to dine with our guest-of-honour of the night,
the high society, the whos who and the major corporate players in
Singapore. This first-class countdown dinner will be accompanied
with smoky tones of a soulful live jazz outfit: the top
Philippines Jazz Trio Extraordinaire, Rhea, Aida and Aziz.
2. Yet others may dine like lords and ladies at Faber Rock, where
they will be treated to a magical double-bonus dining experience.
First, they will savour exquisite dinner cuisine and unwind in the
excitement and splendor of the daily Jewel Christmas Light Show.
Featuring the spectacularly lighted Worlds tallest artificial
Christmas Tree* at 61 metres height, this light extravaganza will
flash and change before their eyes to the accompaniment of music.
Secondly, they will take pleasure in the best view during the
spectacular Sky Symphony Countdown fireworks display at the stroke
of midnight.
3. For those who fancy a more exclusive chill out dining
experience, they will be spoilt for choice with three distinct
venues of The Jewel Box, serving a generous international buffet
spread throughout. Guests will lounge like dreamy bards and poets
in The Altivo Bar, a cool elegant setting of rustic elegance; with
koi ponds, chill-out music and timber decks, giving a view of the
beautiful scenery of the offshore islands and a bright, busy
harbour. In addition, favourite DJs of Singapore will be spinning
music throughout the night. Otherwise, guests will feast at our new
sophisticated and stylish Glass Bar that boasts walls, crockery of
gleaming glass as well as floor to ceiling glass windows or lounge
at Faber Hill Bistro, an intimate and idyllic haven, a setting of
lush greenery and the melting light from the faraway city skyline
against a backdrop of the night sky.
4. Most fantasy-like of all, however, might perhaps be the ethereal
flight through the air that will be experienced by guests who have
chosen to celebrate the end of the year with sky dining. Guests in
cable cars will enjoy their wonderful meal in beautiful windowed
cabins that will take them hovering high above shining water and
emerald vegetation, and through tunnels of pulsating warm light
sources; mimicking natural sunlight piercing through lush foliage.
In addition, as they are approaching The Jewel Box from afar, they
will be treated to an out-of-this-world scenery of luminous luster
from both The Jewel Box and the Worlds Tallest Christmas Tree*,
next to it.

Especially for the younger partygoers who want more action and
excitement, we will be also organizing a Countdown Party at the
space of Seah Im Carpark, proudly sponsored by Canon. Come 31

(North Bridge Road entrance), partygoers can expect lots of fun on

partying hard, stand a chance to win a free taxi ride home! All
they have to do is party hard, and get spotted and get their
picture flashed across the screen onstage in front of thousands of
partygoers.

Worlds First Self-Activated Fireworks from Cable Cars and
One of Singapores Longest Fireworks Display at One
Go
At the stroke of midnight, whether youre up at The Jewel Box or
down at Seah Im Carpark, bathe in a supernova of light and sound in
one of Singapores longest fireworks display. Featuring 15
beautiful minutes of rainbow hued fireworks choreographed by
fireworks specialist from France: Brezac Artifices, specially flown
in for this event, and our local team, Spectaworks, this
spectacular display will be complemented and orchestrated by
resounding symphonies that will echo throughout Mount Faber. These
epic sensations will explode from six venues across and about the
hill namely Seah Im Carpark, rooftop of the HarbourFront Tower,
mid-flight cable cars, Seah Im Tower, Mount Faber and finally the
rooftop of The Jewel Box.
To top it all off, guests in cable cars will be able to experience
a worlds first: self-activate firework mechanisms installed in the
cabins and send showers of luminescence into the starry night
around them, while being momentarily suspended in the midst of
these flowering lights.
After the ebullient mass countdown, premiere local dj Sheik Haikel
will spin music for a party that will send you on a pumping start
into 2006!
