Square.Circle.Lush

Square.....
23rd May. International Museum day. Free entry for all museums in Singapore including all of its galleries. So a few of us decided to launch our museum hopping activity. Hahaha..I can't even remember if I've ever been into the Malaysia's museum and now I'm so excited about visiting Singapore's Museum. Anyway we started off with lunch at City Hall and after that walk, walk and hop around (I mean walk around). So first stop, the Singapore's National Museum. Well you guys might think museum=nerd, but oh no. This Singapore Museum was opened during Queen Victoria's jubilee year and so once you enter the museum, you'll be standing right under a roof of 50 different coloured glass panes.


Ok so back to the nerd part. It's not nerdy at all. This museum is quite sophisticated. And you'll spend hours( we spent almost 4 hours inside) exploring galleries after galleries of different themes. There's the civilization one where the focus on how Singapore becomes it is today(cross cultured marriage, banned polygamies...). And then there's this food gallery which focus all the local food in Singapore with equipments. The best thing is you can smell spices and I mean real smell!



Ok There were a lot more interesting stuff but let's just stop here and please refer to my facebook for more photos :D Next on, we hop to the Singapore Arts Museum, where we witnessed a wedding ceremony (so sweet). As the names suggested, this museum showcases all art-related stuff like paintings, movies, sculpture and they even have a live band and also seats like the cinema seats. Awesome place with great ambiance.

After spending 5 hours walking around, everybody agreed that we need to recharge and refuel. So head to the nearest Coffee Bean. As Joyce suggested since we were immersed in rich culture environment today, we shall have tea like the English , tea+scones(ok none of us got tea and we prefer muffin) Anyway trying very hard to be a "tai-tai". Well recharge session wasn't exactly successful as all of us were busy chatting and laughing (literally non-stop).

Circle...
Since the opening of new MRT route in Singapore, the circle line, I've never had the chance to hop on it. So we headed to the nearest MRT station and experience the new train and station. Nothing different but worth the experience:D


Lush...
It's a radio station in Singapore where my dear friend Joyce works as a DJ. After dinner, we planned to just walk her to Orchard but we end up sitting in her recording studio and accompany her throughout the show. We chatted like nobody's business (well really nobody's business as there were nobody there except passer-by would look at us through the glass door) I guess that night, we are Joyce's special guests. So we had insightful talks from Mr. Tee on relationship and how to manage it. We laughed a lot(again) and shouted a lot too(too excited). Our plan to leave back home at 10 pm failed and end up boyfriend and I nearly missed the last train back to hostel:D


It was tiring but interesting and fun day. Awesome people do make awesome days.

Quote of the day : " A person who does not love you the way you wanted does not mean that that person does not love you with what he/she has."
