Peranakan Museum

Freak! I lost my entire entry again! I should have saved it. TMD! I have to rewrite the entire entry again. Damn! Nevermind, since i am in a good mood. I had a lovely weekend. It all started since Friday. Ken asked me out for a drink on Fri evening. Since i had nothing better to do, i went out with him. We drank and gossip till late nite.

It was dbl o as usual on Saturday! David is back! Oh man! Everyone missed him badly. We gave him hugs! hahha.. He flew down to Dbl O once he arrived in Singapore from Taiwan. It was nice of him lor. He msned me the other day to remind me to turn up. hhaha.. He even wore the present ken and i gave him during his bday. :P We partied and had our usual bitching session. Most regulars came. Lovely nite.

This afternoon, i went on a field trip with Leon didi. He was on an assignment while i took the opportunity to tour the newly opened Perankan Museum. I am impressed by the exhibits. The ambience, interactive artefacts differentiate itself from other museums. Well, most museums give pple the impression of dull and boring. The Peranakan Museum is so unlike the others!

I love the colours they used. The exhibits are interesting! You can even get to touch some of the exhibits. I met 2 of my colleagues, one was just visiting while the other volunteered herself as a guide. Wah! I guess we need volunteer to guide us ard so that we would be able to appreciate the culture and history of the Peranakans better. Oh yes, the museum got some actors to walk ard the museum in traditional baba-nonya wear to interact with the crowd. Amazing! Honestly, it

The only downside is the poor management on the guided tour. It was pretty disorganised when no pple know where to gather or wat to do before the tour started. I guess there should be better signages or instructions so that pple would know where to go. We are reshaping our country into a tourist hub! If nothing is done, i think it is terribly disappointing.

Enough of bitching, this is just the beginning of a 3 off days! whahhaha... I should be able to catch some good rest again! It feels good to rest when others are working hard. hahahah.. Ok, i know some fellow friends will fire me. hahhaa... Had a good time over the weekend. Lovely and well spent!
