to the oldest museum!
the national museum of Singapore. i think all local museums look very new and refreshing and not dark and eerie(think of Night at the Museum) and so very un-museum like. but I guess Singaporean style.
you can literally spend a whole day in this museum esp in the history gallery showcasing exhibits and descriptions dating from the 1800s. It now offered a varied way of presenting history, - a listening companion( an audio set) which listen to the descriptions of exhibits which you are interested in. a new kind of museum experience!
the peranakan chinese and how our ancestors lived before WWII
the opium times
how our ancestors used to make flour and grind their spices
skipping to independence and after merger(hate the topic of merger)
1st PM on tv! the chinese translation cracks me up
how come the ancient tvs are so cute?
on to the living galleries on fashion, food, wayang and photography. didn't have the time nor energy to visit them all( i walked from 1800s to 1990s!)

i like the way the museum presents the singapore history in terms of classifying them according to important events and personal accounts. for those who had more than enough of history lessons in school, the personal accounts way(the private collection of photographs of people, their families and scenes of Singapore) is another way of learning abt our history without thinking, " there it goes agn..!!"
but a warning first, an overload of information at the end of the day, not forgetting very sore feet!

Uniquely Singapore?
here's a departmental store, supermarket, pharmacy, jeweler, hotelier, travel agency all rolled into one? calling it a mega-store is simply not sufficient. since " hub" is the "in" word for malls nowadays, it's really a retail hub for.. mostly indian shoppers, i guess.
u simply cannot ask for anymore choices because over there, you are overwhelmed with the many varieties they showcase

self help please?
i think there are 3 things which get you places, the first is luck, which nothing you can control is in control of, the second is talent, which is what you are born with and how much you push yourself, and the third is people, and the help they offer you. Apparently, I don't really have a good grasp on the third concept, and on second thought, i really don't.
betting on the first and the second!

the change of taste
at diff stages of our lives, our taste buds change accordingly too. prev not really an avid jap food lover, this recent change in preference for more bland dishes has left me frequenting jap restaurants this holiday. i believe the day when I'll be eating brinjals and lady's fingers happily will be here v soon.

One thing which I haven’t gotten really used to is the dimmer ambience which I suppose is to provide a more leisure mood for dining? ( which explains the dark photos too)

another new member to the 20th club
We didn’t get to mj cuz I was too caught up with asking weiqi to help me with the downloading of new stuff for The Sims. Oops! So sorry cuz half of the convo that day seemed to b about my fave simulated game of all time! I think Sims players left the rest half puzzled over whether we are talking abt real life or sims life.
P.S i'm getting lazier to blog cuz I have to take care of My SIMS! ( i'm having prob agn! )

i am not a control freak!
miss lee filled me in yesterday on her recent THE SIMS adventure and she was clearly appalled at how much I "train" my Sims beginning as early as babyhood to adulthood. Being a Sims player from p5 all the way to mid 2007, I have gotten past the stage whereby my Sims bum around the house all the day and basically doing nothing except living a life of riches(thanks to the cheatcodes)
my Sims from the moment they are born, I've already decided on their designated career path and their lifetime ambitions, and since I've already known what skills are needed to climb to the highest rung on the ladder, they start "training" for the relevant skills since toddler stage and go for "internships" during their teen stage so that when they are adults, all these will prove to be a shortcut to reach the peak of their careers in the shortest amt of time.
right now, miss lee's little Sims just have to get to private schools but actually it really doesn't matter except for the extra set of uniform which the little Sims have to put on.
she also can't bear to let her Sims live an old age and die off, but for me, I've already got a family tree of 5 generations for most of my Sims families. It's a real pity that my desktop crashed and there goes my years of painstaking nurturing of achievers, not overachievers.
my hands are itching to build and decorate posh and sophisticated houses(i still rmb I used to research on home deco too) but to date, I forgot who didn't return my Sims CD( miss lee doesn't want to own up, HAHA), and she doesn't want to sell me her original one, so which means I will have to spend more than $200 to buy the original one and all the expansion packs.
I will use my skills of persuasion on her tmw!
