Yesterday was National Day!
I know I'm late for this banner, but it's National Day week. So whatever.
Went out with Weepeng & Ryan (Weepeng's classmate a.k.a the Adidas watch man a.k.a Mr Piano Canon-in-D Man) yesterday to watch the showcase of a drama competition organised by the Singapore Press Holdings (SPH). I'm amazed by the fact that the theme of the competition was Singapore History and the showcase was on National Day itself!
The showcase was held at National Museum and this is the first time I went there. You know I'm not that kind of person who will visit musuems to look at fake stuffs right. The gallery only had one thing that interest me: A stone called Chocolate (it was named after the smell of the stone!).
So yes, before we enter the museum we saw people getting some FREE goodie bags from the FOH (it's the open house of National Museum). And just look at the queue! This is what I call Typical Singaporeans:
ALL THE WAY TO THE OPEN SPACE CARPARK!
I don't understand why they can stand the heat, and continue to queue up for worthless goodie bags. Well I guess it's because it's free right?
So back to the showcase. The showcase had 2 catergory, the lowersec 1st - 3rd winner schools and the uppersec 1st-3rd winner schools. I tell you, the lowersec winners' plays were all so horrendous. Now I think that our school didn't participate was quite a pity. Our juniors could win them so easily. But the uppersec was not bad, because Raffles Institution got first, Hougang sec got second and Tanjong Katong sec got third.
Overall, RI made this trip a worthy one.
Since we are at the musum why not take a trip to the shop inside? Things will be expensive definetely, but who cares if you find something nice there. And the things we bought are six packets of White Rabbit milk candies (da bai tu nai tang)! With different flavours! We didn't know that our childhood favourite actually exists in 6 different flavours.
After that we walked to Cathay House and ate at QuickBite. It was yummy, and the softshell crab is just darn delicious. Worth every single cent in my pocket.
Oh oh oh, next we walked to Raffles Hotel. How many Singaporeans actually went there before? Not me definetely. I don't even know its existence.
Took some pictures with the two men!

THE GAY HINDI DANCE! =DDDDOh, I saw Mediacorp Celeb at the hotel! You know Zhang Yao Dong? Yup, I saw him and a girl... prolly his girlfriend. HAHAHAHA.
After that we kept walking and went to landmark for a visit. Didn't stay there quite long as Ryan and Weepeng kept walking out from the shop. LOL. Gave a packet of Chocolate bunny sweets to the Aunties and left for APPLE STRUDELS!
I ate two strudels! Apple and Mango. I love the apple strudel so much. Weepeng ordered peach strudel and Ryan ordered the apple strudel. Burnt a big hole in my pocket, but they are definetely worth the money! Gonna try the durian strudel next time. :P
Oh, visit
