MUSEUM DAY 2015
28 Jan
Met Trace at RC Bux! Guess who saw raffles city as raffle place and travelled all the way to Raffles Place MRT hahahaha and I was obviously late also
I really love my friends and am super super grateful to their ability to overlook my tardiness...
:')
So tray tray got her bux and cake, while I got some green tea frappe
SIGH I PREFER ICE BLENDED THOUGH T.T
Headed to Singapore Art Museum (SAM) with the ulterior motive to snap some cool photos with the exhibits here!
HERE'S ONE: THE WALL THAT BLEEDS BAD BLOOD
kidding idk what this is called but it's pretty cool
PLEASE NOTICE THE "some er" below omg
I couldn't find "summer" so i wanted to photoshop "summer time" below
but after an hour after the photo was taken I realised the "some-er" below
nyehehe fate must be pretty punny that day
and this interesting exhibit... freaked us out. didn't know how to interpret this because we are 0.1 % artistically inclined only...thank goodness trace came with me..i would've ran out.
Could be a human state of mind thing or a commemoration of some sort of event..
then at the last part THE CURTAINS AT THE BACK OPENED BY THEMSELVES AND LOUD CREEPY MUSIC BEGAN PLAYING AND IT FELT SO SCARILY MORBID IN THERE SO WE GOT THE F OUT OF THE PLACE
and out the exhibit handlers secretly laughing at us S I G H
Off to the Still-Moving Exhibition! I don't know is it a literal thing or a pun..
but well didnt take alot of photos there! MAIN AIM: PHOTO BOOTH
I like how these buildings look like a staircase to modernity
the white building is some old secondary school (Pres High i think?)
Then we headed to SNM to take photos with the walls hahaha
hey we had some pretty dope photos...i think
Yup legs too short
ON WEDNESDAYS WE WEAR BLACK

In museums you get to see some cute handmade exhibits like this:
GOT IN FOR FREEEE OH YEAH
"The Singapore government values heritage and believes it has positive externality on society hence seeks to increase society's consumption of the good thus place subsidies on ...."
hahaha so A level econ-ish
SG STONE; always wanted to see this in real life rather than pictures!
The amazing thing about seeing relics in real life is that CAN YOU IMAGINE several hundred years or thousands of years ago, other people's gaze on this object held a totally different attitude to your own then ?? I really hope that researchers will manage to decipher whatever is written there within my lifetime heh. I would really like to know what was written there!
Such a pity; one of SG's oldest relic relatively disintegrated
Singapore Stone is a fragment of a large sandstone slab which originally stood at the mouth of the Singapore River. The slab, which is believed to date back to at least the 13th century and possibly as early as the 10th or 11th century, bore an undec inscription. Recent theories suggest that the inscription is either in Old Javanese or in Sanskrit. It is likely that the person who commissioned the inscription was Sumatran. The slab was blown up in 1843 to clear and widen the passageway at the river mouth to make space for a fort and the quarters of its commander.
The slab may be linked to the legendary story of the 14th-century strongman Badang, who is said to have thrown a massive stone to the mouth of the Singapore River. On Badang's death, the Rajah sent two stone pillars to be raised over his grave "at the point of the straits of Singapura".

Anyway this Singapura 700 was really interesting, but albeit a lil too short imo!
