22 Mar - 28 Mar 2009

Sunday (22Mar) - I was feeling bored since I slept all day.

So I decided to do some exploring. Went to United Square near

the Novena MRT station. And I found this. The fountain

changed colors every few seconds. I loved the sound of the waterflow.

(While taking our lunch midweek - I saw this)

Apparently, these birds are also feeling homey,
getting their fair share of lunch.
(In the hawker place near our office bldg - Army Market)

Friday - I'm on leave.

Decided to go to the museum. Finally!

But before that - stopover at my

favorite Pinoy foodspot - Jologs

at Lucky Plaza, Orchard.

The National Museum of Singapore.
Located behind the Singapore Management University.

*feeling turista*

The first exhibit I brought myself to was by

Christian Lacroix. He's a very famous theatre costume designer.

I took this photo because of what he said in the last line -

"Theatre has become much more than a recreation,

as this art cannot bear mediocrity

or lack of passion."

...can't say anything more...except...

I think this applies to all principles of life.

The American rooster - The Japanese rooster

I think these are supposed to be Cinderella's stepsisters.

Cinderella and her prince.

Students swarmed the exhibit.

They are encouraged to sketch their own

based on Lacroix's works. Wish I could draw myself.

Theirs was a very fresh set of eyes and

poised colored pencils.

This is inspired by flamenco dancers.

I would kind of find it difficult though, dancing in these.

But I guess it would feel different if I really tried them on.

I found this set creepy.

Candles and beheaded mannequins.

This one would be heavy to strut on stage.

More difficult I would assume putting these on.
But I would love to try one of these.

This theatre dresser is lovely. Love the lighting.

Some kids were doing their drawings here.

I couldn't resist - I just had to take a picture

at the theatre dresser.

I took this picture because I think I would want

my wedding dress to look like this one,

minus the red orange lighting, of course.

I thought this lantern was interesting because of how it was labeled below.

While making my way up the galleries,

I looked up and saw the chandeliers swinging side to side.

Scared me. Found out later on that it was one of the museum's little attractions.

Inside the museum - the facade replicas the shophouses.

On my way in, into the historical gallery,

I went pass this bridgewalk where they

featured a film that showed how

the typical Singaporean day feels like.

I love the choir that sang in the background.

The music is of a composer by the name of Vladimir Martynov.

From his work - Geopolitical Utopia - inspired by the Lion City.

Singapura as it was called then was also called Temasek meaning

"sea town" in Javanese.

Saturday - I slept all day -

and woke up to see a movie.

After the movie - I noticed Mcdonald's was unusually dark.

And I remembered the Earth Hour.
