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 a HDB wall.
The projector appears to be stored in the boot of a parked car, and a foldable chair is seen near the vehicle's rear.
"It's so brazen that I can't help but to admire," Farhan wrote in the video caption. "You win liao lor ."
His Instagram video has since attracted over 700,000 views and 23,000 likes.
Farhan, who does art on the side, said he had never seen the video projection before.
"I thought it was absolutely brilliant and kicked myself for not thinking about it," he shared with AsiaOne.
"What a great use of an otherwise unremarkable HDB wall. And the spot he picked absolutely didn't disturb anyone."
Netizens expressed surprise in the comment section, with some applauding the car driver's creativity.
"This is so lowkey cute. People should really do stuff like these more often, and not be so uptight," an Instagram user wrote.
Several also reminisced the olden days when neighbours would gather to watch similar video projections.
"More kampong spirits of sharing with the communities (sic)?" One suggested.
Farhan told AsiaOne that he did not hear any noise, and the car driver appeared to be alone.
As he summed up in an Instagram comment: "Seeing Freddie Mercury prancing half naked on a HDB wall is the stuff of heartland magic."

一位便携式投影仪的拥有者巧妙地利用裕廊西组屋的外墙作为屏幕，在自家后院举办了一场电影之夜。
这一巧妙的设计被附近街区的一位居民注意到，他将这一不寻常的景象分享到了网上。
一位名叫Singaporeanstory的Instagram用户（化名Farhan）告诉AsiaOne，上周六（10月10日）晚上，他无意中发现了一个在露天停车场搭建的“迷你电影院”。
“我刚到家，碰巧从厨房窗户往外看了一眼。我揉了揉眼睛，又看了一眼，笑了笑，然后拍下了这张照片，”这位40岁的企业家说道。
Farhan 拍摄的短视频显示，摇滚乐队皇后乐队主唱 Freddie Mercury 的影像被投射到组屋墙上。
投影仪似乎存放在停放的汽车后备箱里，车辆后部附近可以看到一把折叠椅。
“这太胆大妄为了，我忍不住要佩服，”法罕在视频标题中写道。“你赢了！”
他的 Instagram 视频目前已吸引了超过 70 万次观看和 2.3 万个赞。
业余时间从事艺术创作的法尔汉表示，他以前从未见过这种视频投影。
“我觉得这真是太棒了，我真后悔自己怎么没想到，”他告诉AsiaOne。
“这真是对一面原本毫不起眼的组屋墙的绝妙利用。而且他选择的地点完全没有打扰到任何人。”
网友们在评论区表达了惊讶之情，一些人还称赞了这位车主的创意。
一位Instagram用户写道：“这真是太可爱了。人们真的应该多做这样的事，不要那么拘谨。”
一些人还回忆起过去邻居们聚在一起观看类似视频投影的日子。
“多一些与社区分享的乡村精神吗？”有人建议道。
法尔汉告诉亚洲新闻网，他没有听到任何声音，而且汽车司机似乎是一个人。
正如他在 Instagram 评论中总结的那样：“看到弗雷迪·默丘里半裸着在组屋墙上跳舞，这就是美国中西部地区的魅力所在。”
