Hey everyone!
Its been a great Easter - with our successful church musical, the blast-the-house party and then being in LA with my dearest.
I have tons of emails to reply, tags to answer and a truckload of crazy pictures to post..!
So bear with me pretty ones, I'll be back before you know it.

Hello everyone!
How is ur week so far?
I had a blast last weekend with my mummy - we went shopping and even to a museum! It was so fun, I relish every moment with mummy dearest.
:)

We did lunch with his parents first.



My favourite roasted pork and fried carrot cake!



Thank you dearest MelroseMedley for the sweet pink chiffon dress!
More on that, later!



After lunch and a short walk around Vivocity, my mummy had an impromptu idea to go to 39 Armenian Street!
Guess where?

The Peranakan Museum!



We just wanted to buy some stuff from True Blue, but decided - hey, let's just take a walk in!
And so we did.



But we went shopping first!



It is $6 for adults, half-priced for children and senior citizens.



They give these really cute coloured paper for vistors to stamp on while they walk along the museum.



I feel like its a school excursion!
It brings me back to when I was younger - I loved trips to the library, the science centre and of coz, my love for museums have never ceased.
Til today, I go to museums all over the world becoz I am totally curious to know the past and how people lived then.

It is simply amazing.



These are antique 'si dian jing' wedding items!
Lovely!



And I saw some very intricate kebayas.



There was a 'Singer' brand sewing machine!
I used to see them around my grandparent's place.



The security guards were very kind! Although there is a no photo-taking policy, they choose to turn a blind eye and let us cam-whore!



Traditional kasut menek (Traditional beaded shoes)!



When u pick up these telephones, u can hear people taking!



The conversations were from the past, like how my auntie would call my mother and gossip non-stop in the afternoons when the husbands were at work and the kids are doing homework.
Those were days before handphones and sms-es and emails, and those were very precious times indeed.
Now with the internet and fast-paced lifestyle, I doubt anyone would call me at my house phone just to 'chat' - not that we have the time to sit down and talk anyway! Haha.
:)



A kitchen in the olden days.



Traditional chinaware.



I had a really good time there!
It was pretty nice getting to know some new information, and then there were plenty of familiar items and pretty kebayas to look at.
But importantly, it was wonderful knowing that my mummy had a great time reminiscing about the past.
:)



The night ended with beer and fish & chips at Charlie's Corner in Changi Village and then some more.
:D



Thank you all for looking!
Have a loveeeely week ahead dear all~

Took a lovely walk round the island, drank some pina colada by the bar- all while admiring the white sand and turquoise sea.

Today I swam in the sea, sat at the beach and talked about life.

I learnt a great deal, but I believe its all nothing new.
That men and women can NEVER ever be the same.
That we hate the same people we love the most.
Well, sometimes.
:)
But thats why life is so interesting, isnt it?
