Weekly Entry 7: Singapore Trip


We rode off to Singapore in the morning by train that day. Truth be told, that was the most comfortable journey I've ever been in and sleeping in a bed while you're moving at probably 80-100km/h is the best one can hope for. When I woke up, we have arrived at the immigration checkpoint at Singapore. To be honest, I was being paranoid while passing through the checkpoint, who knows, things happen.


Day 1:
We went to the ArtScience Museum. The museum was in Marina Bay Sands, the most high standard place in South East Asia. The reputation precedes the standards of Marina Bay Sands. The museum was shaped like a comb of bananas, or a hand upside down begging for money or something. Well, I must say the architect did a very good job in his artpiece. Not far from the entrance, there was a sculpture of a melted clock signed by Salvatore Dali. Dali was a mad artist and his works are full of madness and complexity. He's very unique in portraying himself as the crowned Dali in his signatures.



There are other exhibits in the Museum such as the Lost Treasures of Tang and Van Gogh Alive, which is very calming and inspiring. Seeing how they projected loads of Van Gogh's painting inside a room with creative placements and combining it with a classical music ambience filled me with joy.


We went out for a walk inside the three towered building with a surfboard on top. It was really huge and I wondered how much money will it cost to just pay the air conditioning bills. We had lunch at Rasa Pura, a food court in the mall with variety of food. After that, we went up to the highest point in the building and it was really sizzling up in there. Don't get me started about the sun.


Though hot, it was a really great experience that I will never forget. After a tiring day of walking and learning new stuff, we went to the hotel to get some rest for the upcoming show later that night.
