Singapore Bicentennial Exhibition

Hello everyone~ 

 This year (2019) marks the 200th year of Sir Stamford Raffles' arrival in Singapore. So, have you visited the Singapore Bicentennial exhibition yet? It has been extended till end of December this year! 

 It's free for citizens! Book your tickets here.

 And yay! I did it last month! Thanks to my friend who went to register for the tickets in the month of June! 
Singapore Bicentennial @ Fort Canning

This exhibition will bring all visitors back in time to witness the key moments in Singapore's transformation from year 1299. There are a total of five acts and the whole show takes about 1-hour to finish. 

 Oh! Don't worry, that 1-hour will be in an aircon room... If that's your main concern... Haha! 

 Anyway, there's no photos from those five acts since I was there to enjoy and experience the 'moment'. All I can say is, I'm very impressed by the whole experience thingy. If you think this 'history lesson' is going to be boring, I can guarantee you that it wouldn't be! Just go with an open mind, observe the animations, the lightings, etc. You'll be amazed (at the very least by how technology has improved to make boring stuff not-so-boring)!

 After the 1-hour show, we went to visit the different exhibitions outside (no more aircon areas).

This Chinese map is super cool!

Overall, it was an enjoyable and pleasant session for me! I get to experience things like hearing the siren and bombing while you're hiding inside the bomb shelter, 'attending' the first (rainy) NDP when Singapore gained independence, etc. Totally impressed by the animations. 

Good job to the organiser(s) and the team working on this exhibition! 👍👍👍

Johor Bahru - 早 · 尚好

Image
Entering our neighbouring country in the morning and fancying some delicious comfort food for breakfast/brunch? Why not head over to 早 · 尚好, a Taiwanese-style breakfast place, to satisfy your cravings? Colourful buildings makes me happy!   早 · 尚好   Jalan Ekoflora 1, Taman Ekoflora, 81100, Johor Bahru    Opening Hours:    Tues - Sun: 7AM - 3PM (closed on Mon)   ( The best way to get to this place will be by Grab if you don't drive) What?! Go JB eat Taiwanese breakfast?! You kidding me?! Nope, I'm not kidding... It's really a place worth visiting and who knows, maybe you will want to visit this place again (just like me)! HAHA!   If you go on a weekends, be there very early or you'll have to wait for a table. I went there with my three friends for brunch on a Saturday morning (around 11+), and the shop was full-house already. Luckily the wait wasn't very long; we got a table after 10-15 minutes of waiting...

台北 Taipei - Day 05: Ximending

Image
Our last day in Taipei! Since we don't really have much time left, all we could do was to do last minute shopping.  We checked out from the hostel at about 9+, and headed to Ximending for breakfast and shopping.  We went to Golden Flower for some Taiwanese breakfast toast. It was very crowded man ! We met 2 Hong Kong ladies there; they were standing beside us and we got to know one another as I told them that they could get plastic gloves so as to not dirty their hands. Haha! Our breakfast for 2 As it was really crowded (it's a Sunday and this stall is quite a famous one), we waited for about near 1-hour for the egg and cheese sandwich. We didn't manage to take a photo of the sandwich from another corner of the table as they were taken up by the 2 Hong Kong ladies. But because we helped the 2 Hong Kong ladies just now, so they let us to take photos of their sandwich (we ordered the same sandwich)! Arrangement done up by the two kind-hearted Hong ...

Belle-Ville Pancake Cafe @ Bugis Junction

Image
I've been looking at this place for a veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy long time and finally, I get to try it last month! Ta-daaaaaaa ! The Belle-Ville pancake cafe at Bugis Junction!  Went there with three of my other friends on a Sunday morning. The shop opens at 11AM, I was there first (while waiting for my other friends) at 11.30AM, and there was already a long queue! We queued for about 45 minutes or slightly longer before we got a table; the shop size is really small. So be prepared to queue~  While queuing, the staff will pass us a copy of the menu so that we should have already decided what we want to order by the time we get the table. So here's our orders:  Strawberry and Mixed Berry Pancake Chocolate and Grilled Banana Pancake There are two types of pancake: Fruit and fresh cream on top, or  Fruits and cream layered in between each layers T he minimum layers differ f or each type of pancake; the minimum number of layers is 4 and 2 respectively. The pancake texture is a...
