:: The missing links ::

Graduation is a confirmed!!!!! Woohooo.... So scary when i was checking the results. Finally can throw tat big rock out of my heart. Finally can throw ALL the lecture notes, textbooks... anything that's related to schooling & practically gona turn 100% useless in my next phrase of life.

I'm eager to attend my commencement. But apparently i've to wait another 7 mths or so. Which is why my eagerness already diminished by half. Am joyful tat i dun need to study anymore but the feeling of gona be graduated 'now' is not there. *bleh*

Celebrated my joy today with Ong. Rewarded myself with an overly priced G2000 top. *heart bleeding*... But i like it very much + i was in a happy mood. So i shall splurge once tis day. Than its off to nua-ing @ Coffee Club. For a non-strawberry cake lover, their strawberry shortcake is nice. Like the big chuncks of strawberry & the totally not overly sweet cake.

Hmmm havent been nua-ing a lot lately. Busy revamping my wardrobes, busy catching up with all the peps i missed during the whole sem, busy playing PSP, busy spree-ing, busy watching online animes.... jus plain busy with tons of things. So packed with activities le i still manage to start my supposely due-ing soon cross stitching. I pray i can finish the thing by 11 Dec.. the date i'm 'supposely' to give it to my jus-married frien... After nights of crossing & stitching.. i'll say its only 1/4 done. *sweat*

Yday tried recalling what i've been doing past few days & weeks but too many things le tat i forgot who i've met or even when. Wahaha.... Guess i'll recall some via pics:

[[**TCC-ing with WN**]]

I dont rmb the purpose of the outing but i guess its jus catching up with WN after my exams. Haha.. Had my fav Pizza Bageutte with english breakfast tea. Cant rmb the name of the other dish ordered but its something like prawn fritters on toast. Deliciously little thing, tats kinda ex.

[[**Baby Pet**]]

Pet is not a phrase for tis cute baby... its the nick of her mum. Baby Pet hasnt got a new name yet (when i visited her) so I've given her a nick, Baby Pet! ^^

2nd newborn I'm visiting tis yr... another little princess. Babies are cute when they're just born. The 'nasty' part comes when u have to take care of them 24 x 7 for the rest of ur life.. Part of life tat's interesting + hardship. Baby Pet frowns a lot... shivers a lot.. doesnt twitch & move a lot though. She jus wraps herself tightly w/o much body movement. Very sweet & cute. Dint get to pitch her chubby cheeks tat day as she needs to slp in the comfy baby room... i shall get her cheeks on her 1st mth celebration. WAHAHAHA..

[[**A Day @ the Museum**]]

Been a super long time since i last visited the SG museum! It changed so much i can only recognise its building exterior. Haha... 1st time i visited the museum personally. Past visits have always being a sch outing. For a $5 tix (student/NS Men), its quite a worthwhile visit.

The original purpose of visit was to c the Dim Sum Dollies stage play with WN inside the museum. But after the play, i tink the purpose jus changed to museum visiting coz the play wasnt much anyway. Just a short play to intro the museum. Nevertheless the play was still interesting enuf. We walked ard 4 to 6 diff galleries but i was busy viewing all the artifects so didnt take pics of every gallery..

1st gallary... "2 spot & shoot"

By local students. I dun reali get the pics taken (jus plain SG surroundings) but WN & I agreed tat the photos r based on some theme & the winners won because their photos most matched the theme, OR the rest of the contestants jus had more lousy photos than the winners..... *ponder*.......

2nd gallery... "Singapore Living Gallery - Fashion"

Abt SG ladies' fashion & beauty trend. Saw many pretty old fashion apparels, sewing machines & related stuffs... But i find the lighting in the gallery overly dark... So dark i tink i almost crash into the glass walls everywhere. Maybe it was so to preserved the apparels and beauty pdts from color fading or material rotting?

3rd gallery... "Singapore Living Gallery - Food"

Local food! Really bring back lots of young memories... Oops remind me tat i was part of the old past too! I'm really getting old... aiya....

4th gallery was on photography. Many old photos & cameras.. i like the way they archive the photos in many wooden drawers so visitors have to pull the drawers out 1 by 1 to view. Very 'interactive'. But ar, they should have label the word "pls pull to c more photos" on the drawers or something.. coz in the dim gallery, the wooden drawers jus look like some 'display'. If not for my curiousity, i wont have pulled the drawers to 'check' if can open or not. Hahaha...5th gallery... "National History Gallery"

Its super manz.... all visitors MUST see this. I totally recommend it. We walked nearly 1 n half hrs in there but we still cant finish the whole viewing! Tats how BIG tis gallery is. Luv tat quirky mechanic 'dictionary+voice guide' the museum provides for EACH visitor. So u dun even need a tour guide to explain all the way. Exploring the history gallery at ur own pace & own likings! Jus key in the number tag at each artifect or the number on the floor tiles & the machine explains all... soooooo coool...

Visited other galleries after the history one but i cant recall their names. Jus some local history thingy too. The most interesting part has 2 be the discovery of an outdoor escalator beside the museum, leading to Fort Canning. What? Outdoor escalator with NO shelter? How wacky is tat?! Wat will happen when it rains?! Its waterproof?!

I'm totally amazed by technology @ tis museum trip... shall visit again to finish the history gallery. ^^
