Alright guys i'm back with a full account of my lovely wednesday !
Finally met up with Nic after our last musuem trip a few months ago and hell , we did have fun !
First stop was the Singapore History musuem where they had a exhibition going on that featured the works of local designers and their miniature wedding dresses on Barbies.
I like this one ! Simple , understated elegance.
Would have loved to take more photos of the exhibition if not for the fact that photography's prohibited and nosey curators hot on our trail. Bleahhhhhhhhhh.
There wasn't much going on at the SHM as its main building's undergoing renovation and basically we just refreshed our knowledges on what we already know about our local history. Still , i liked it. hehehehe.
After gettin out of the SHM , the cam-whore in us took over and it was insanity from then on !
Sufferin from a bit of a writer's block no thanks to the endless amount of writing and editing i'm doing for XXX magazine ( decided not to disclose the name of the mag here as i want to rant all i want about their management LOL ) . You won't believe how atrocious the language of some singaporeans are , judging from the reader's letters i'm supposed to edit and type before it can appear on the the mag .
A sterling example ( couldn't help but copy its contents into my HP when i read it )
Dear XXX Magazine
I am a new reader and i have fellen in love with you magezine ! I love the pieces of the fashion session , the clothes are really beautiful and i will really buy it. Can you please tell me where i can find agnes.b in here ?? i think their bags are beautiful. thank and keep up the good work !
yours sincerely ,
jane.
Since it was compulsory for them to attach their particulars with their letters , i looked at her particulars and found out that she was a local !!!
Totally unforgivable.
Okay i digress.
Here are the photos.
The famous bunch of figures that used to stand guard outside the SHM building. And me ? Almost famous. Almost.
Being touristy. Yeah , that done-to-death touristy pose.
I just couldn't resist ; he just couldn't refuse.
Solitaire.
Astroboy. Malnourished mannequin. Oblivious passerby.
Come on now ! You're almost there !
Curves , lines and tarmac
Sir Fioford Tanffles
chug-chugging from another era
don't you just love the amazing contrast ? Awesome.
Pseudo-Victorian lamp post.
Don't ask.
A dunce hat will definitely complete this picture
eerie.
The others have arrived. Ohmygawd this is like my favourite shot ever.
Sneakers , slippers , lone leaf
constipatated
don't you just find my pose nauseating ? hahaha
postcard-pretty? not .
I don't understand why this skyline is used by ambassadors to potray us because just about every developed country has one so similar to ours. No shit.
textures. ?
she deserves a tight slap.
Reversi was the word of the day and Nic and i spent like 3 hours over a few rounds that had us both wiping sweat off our brows as we struggled to outwit each other. LOL. And then the Himbo and Bimbo in us reared their ugly heads. :D
It was goodbye after that but not for long for the Singapore Arts Fest and Singapore film fest are commencing soon and there are just so many to see and do , but so little time !
Do check out the SFF guys .. there is really so much more than conventional , run-of-the-mill movies you find at cinemas.
Went for a lil' tour with Kerwin on his bike which left my bum really sore because his was a sports bike and bloody hell the pillion seat so high lor !
By the way did i mention that it was my virgin ride ?? :D
Was extremely nervous especially around bends but it wasn't long before i caught the hang the hang of it though i still get the jitters when we come to sharp bends.
Really shiok leh , to feel the wind on your face and travelling at such a speed without a cover over your head.
We headed to Seletar reservoir park where we snooped around the carpark for awhile to catch the couples making out in their cars ( ooh , naughty naughty ! ) . Actually it was really obvious that hanky-panky was going on as the engine was still running in some of the stationary vehicles and one even had newspapers pasted over its windows. LOL.
After that , i satisfied my curiosity by going around Geylang to see women plying their trade and Hum-Sup men loitering around the area.
It was appalling to see scantily clad women being paraded around by their pimps as if they were tupperware
"Come and take your pick ! Come and take your pick ! Take whoever you like home !"
I felt really sorry for them , to have lost all sense of dignity and pride at such a young age.
Though some of them looked quite tubby , most of them were actually quite pretty but all of them shared the same traits : Long brown rebonded hair , really thick make up and they love black .
Looking really odd on the bike responsible for my sore ass. I know , the helmet is huge on my puny head.
Mr Safety rider ! Note that he has extremely HAIRY hands. Chee , you have met your match.
Thanks to Kerwin for riding safely.. Have fun in the army ..... :P
OKay one last thing before i sign off ..
This stupid clumsy ah lian stepped on my foot while i was in the toilet at Orchard MRT !
AND SHE WAS WEARING STILETTOS !!!
Apparently the heel burst a blood vessel in my foot because there was this patch of blood under my skin that appeared moments after .
OMG THE PAIN WAS EXCRUCIATING.
And now , i have a big ugly bruise on my foot.
