Singyi: Asian Civilisation Museum

went to Asian Civilisation Museum with my juniors again. okay, i know i know, I've been meeting them like on a weekly basic for my holiday.

it's funny how life works, like, when I just left Fuhua, I can see that in the future I will be drifting further and further from my juniors, eventually to a point when we will become strangers, and then everything just stay in past tense mode, like my primary school memories. because back in school, the only time when we actually met is during CO sessions. But life works in a way that 3 years later when all of them already graduated and there are new juniors, they actually organized outings and actually included me, like, I'm still in CO, and nothing had changed yet, and that's why I never once refused to go out with them (or rather, everyyone). Because I don't want anyone to end up becoming memories, like my primary school life, where everything is past tense mode, and when i look back, i felt nostalgic about it.

Before we go to Asian Civilization Museum, we had lunch in a shop house located at Raffles Place recommended by Kevin. So he was raving about how nice the porridge is and everything before we reached, in the end, he couldn't finish his porridge because he finds the oyster and porridge too distasteful, which was initially what i wanted but thank god I didn't ordered, because when i see the words "baby oyster", i had the impression the oysters are going to be small.

I ordered fish porridge with pigs liver/kidney and it was nice! The fish is terrific and so is the pig liver/kidney. But i find the choices of porridge very limited and i took like forever (to my juniors) to pick what i wanted.

But other than that, i like the environment and the decoration of the place, and the porridge is very fulling (i still find it hard to believe i actually am full from eating porridge!!). It cost me $8 but i find the porridge worth of the money. :D

One is Jia Wei's sliced porridge while one is mine, but i couldn't differentiate which is mine and which is his. I think the 1st one is mine while the 2nd one is his, because I can see the pig liver in the 1st picture.

anyway, the above duck makes me chuckles when i saw it in Asian Civilian Museum. It's actually the first winning duck in the 1st Million Dollar Duck Race in Year 2002. I like how they actually preserved the dirt on the duck, because it makes me see (hey! I'm an extreme vision person!) the scenario where the ducks are all released into the river together from a lorry, and they float through the river together, and then at the finishing line, this little rubber duck actually won. then.. i see the date, 2002, okay, i just snapped myself back to reality if not I will probably be refreshing my primary schools memories again.

We stayed very long over here because JiaWei and Qiwei were reading extremely "interesting" books. And the chairs were extremely nice to sit on. Other than that, it feels like a restaurant but actually it's just a part of the exhibition to show the Chinese restaurant in the past.

if you look carefully, there's three faces. i had a really hard time taking this photo using my lens and Kevin keeps moving that i have to shout for him to keep still when Qiwei and JiaWei had no problem staying still.

this is one of the station where we stayed for very long, because we were coloring over there. It's been so long since I last use a set of colored pencils. The last time I colored was in Secondary 1 or 2 during art lessons. Apparently, I'm don't colored really that much during my school days, so nope, this doesn't trigger any memories for me. But if it's crayon.. then yup, it does trigger memories because I prefer crayons to colored pencil.
