Today I declared a self-knockoff at about 3.15pm, and from there, I set off to an unknowing journey to spend sometime to myself.

When I stepped out of my office, it was such a bright and sunny day! Yes, it's "sweatingly scorching hot", but that did not beaten down my urge to walk on to Liang Court opposite of Central Mall. (it was quite far to walk there though) I did not have a chance to explore that "shopping mall" before, cuz it had this "solitude" look from outside, and even when you get closer to that building, there was absolutely NO x-factor that lures u in like any other shopping malls!

True enough, when I finally found the way through Liang Court, I was too amazed that it looked like the old IMM. Big and wide space, that kindsa "almost empty" look, wide pavements and overly "transparent" cuz it's so white and have lotsa glass. Simply, I knew immediately I don't like this place at all. And I wanted to get out of this Mall ASAP. hahahaha. Not only does the stuff they sell there looked expensive, it's also very niche. They sell beds/ mattresses/ Beauty consultation salons/ weird furnitures..... bla...

As soon as I went out, I found this bridge that connects directly to Fort Canning Park. At first I didn't want to climb and walk all the way up that ascending brick pavement... Somehow, my brain flashes memories of my primary and secondary school days. The last time I "properly" made my trip to Fort Canning Park and explore, was with a bunch of primary/ secondary school mates. How I miss those days!





I took some photos of the greenaries while walking up. Lotsa butterflies as ever, but there's this SPECIAL one that caught my eyes! It's so beautiful really! How I would describe it is that it has bright cobalt wings, outlined with golden dots, at the hindwings, there's a orangy-red bright dot on each wing, den in the middle of each forewings, there's this symmetrical black patch. I was scared by it when it fluttered it's wings, but at the same time, I'm in love with the beauty of the colours when shone under sunlight. *loves*




When did you last visit this park?





They call this pavement the "14th Century Walk"...

This tree damn eerie can, it's called the Madras Thorn, the Heritage Tree! Amazing thing about this tree is that it is resistant to fire. Believe it? hahaha..

There's an indian couple there, wanna go in rest de but damn paiseh so did not. wahahaha...

This is the walkway to the insides of the "Battle Box".











Satellite dish here too!

Symbolise "Unity".



look like fish bone can... LOL. But it's a ship!



Wahaha... walked on and on then I found myself somewhere near ROM. There were 3 families there. Meaning, there's 3 couples I saw donned in their bridal gown and suits. They looked gorgeous really. Some lay on the soft grass, some were posing the "marriage proposal kneel down + hard to get" pose, the last were grumbling non-stop. hahaha.. interesting.


Here u can find a lot of couples do photoshooting!


I left Fort Canning after I thought I had explored all, headed towards dobhy when my eyes fell onto a beautiful white building! Guess what?! IT's NATIONAL MUSEUM! Wah lao... How long never go liaos?! Wahaha... Yes, I went in the museum cuz it's free entry to ALL galleries. This "promotion for free entry to all galleries" will be held till the 4th January 2009! So people, if you hadn't visited the museum for a longggggggggg time, do drop by! It's really interesting inside, very different from what "YOU" had "LAST" saw, when u were still a young punk.

The National Museum divided itself to 6 galleries now. The gallery that made me like most is the "fashion" gallery as well as the "audio-visual gallery".

The fashion gallery is a unique gallery which housed all female dresses/ tops/ bottoms/ shoes/ accessories/ make ups of ALL TIMES. Meaning to say, the time line of fashion starts from 1950? I forgot, but what I noticed was around there lah... haha, and serious, womens' fashion for bags is still the same as now! They simply rotates nia... LOL. This gallery also has many BIG, IMPACTFUL quotes on the walls. Do Read Them! It really makes a woman feel better, it's a booster for a woman's self-esteem. wahaha...

The audio-visual gallery is really unique. When you first go in, the people incharge will hand you a "companion" device + headphone (that device is REALLY heavy can?!), which u can hang around your neck. It's like a path to follow. Your companion device will be activated with what number you keyed in, and "GO"(aka "enter"). How it worked is that, when you reach your first landing, notice that on the floor it will put on a label to which number you can key onto your device. So if the floor had a big sticker they wrote "Press Number 45". You key in "45+GO" on your device you can hear history of each artefact, person, folklore, or events! When you reach a certain destination already, you gotta choose your path that takes you to the end of your journey. You can only choose 1 path, cuz it's really long... hahaha... "Personal Path" or "Events Path". Make your pick!

There there... Here are some photos I took... Yes, Museum disallow photography. But there's only this ONE picture i took while inside the museum, a map of olden Singapore. There rest, it's all self-portraits (aka cam-whoring)... wahaha...


It's a BIG screen you saw yourself on it. But u don't know where u were being shoot from? New technology ba..



The museum i/c help me shoot de! wahaha...








I bet the museum IC loves my camera too! wahahhaa... He offered to help me take lotsa photos, here pose pose, there take take... LOLS!

These red chandeliers looks really pretty, and the uniqueness about it is that all will swing individually from right to left at different time intervals!

I'm not supposed to take pics here... But yeah...

not guilty at all!

Seah Eu Chin's history here~~




Some picture you will see at the entrance of galleries.

The beautiful circle ceiling...


And this is the "Olden Singapore Map". wahaha...
