Thanks to Tate Kids, British museum Tate's website for young art enthusiasts, anyone can now make art in the style of Dutch master Vincent van Gogh.

You can try out a self-portrait – the site suggests using different colours to project different moods – or colour in the artist's famous Sunflowers painting.

The website also hosts many other family-friendly art activities that include games and quizzes.

Jurong Drive-in Cinema, Singapore's first such facility, opened for business on July 14, 1971.

Close to 900 cars packed the venue for a screening of 1970 British comedy Doctor In Trouble.

Billed as the largest drive-in in Asia, the cinema from Cathay also included a gallery for 300 people not in cars, a cafeteria and a children's playground.

It closed in 1985 due to poor business.
