Night at the Museum
It has been years since I last went to National Museum. I always have the impresssion that the museum is spooky. Thanks to DB's weird and innovative suggestion. After spending half of my saturday in school doing FYP, I set off to the museum. Was told to go to Dhoby Ghaut and the museum will be at walking distance from there. So I waited at the busstop for bus 188. Was feeling damn sian and tired, most likely due to the scorching weather. After a few minutes of waiting, I couldn't stand it any longer and took cab down to town. Upon reaching there, I was welcomed by the newly furnished museum which looks completely different from the last time I've seen it. I'm lost. Couldn't find my way until DB came to my rescue. She had finished visiting the 3 exhibition galleries, namely History, Maria and Living. Both History and Maria were closed for the day (6pm) by the time I reached there. Left with Living, which consists of four separate smaller galleries "Food", "Fashion", "Photography" and "Film". It was a pity I reached too late because I had hunger pang not long after that. So I visited the rooms swiftly, with DB as my tour guide. When I was in the "Food" gallery, the video on all kinds of food in the past was showing and it made my stomach groan even more. Gosh, I need to eat. Haa.. dinner time la.
Reached Clarke Quay, a night spot where I also have not been there since long time ago. It is already been redeveloped into an attractive and interesting hangout place. Witnessed the reverse bungee in action. Managed to record a video of the whole process. Will hope to try it in future, for once.
Saw the ceiling that looked like UFO saucer. Interesting design. Heard from DB that it is some place where people can have their meals over there. The ambience must be very good, considering eating under the stars. haha.
Next, we visited the neighbour -- Liang Court. Woah, I seem to be very SK for all the places I've been to so far for that night. That's the shopping center where I visited quite frequently during my childhood days. There is a supermarket "Meidi-Ya", where you can find all kinds of japanese products at "japanese prices" (aka ex) and japanese restaurants . Had my dinner over there, not forgetting my dessert too -- double scoop ice cream cone, Mocha and hazelnut flavours. The hazelnut one is terrific. yummm..
