How To Enjoy An Art Museum For The Struggling Student

1. Eat before your trip to the museum at a place that exists.

Fyi, the halal taco stall at Golden Shoe Hawker Centre is no more.

2. Choose a weekday to avoid the judgmental real artsy fartsy crowd.

It helped me feel calmer and more comfortable to walk around and just squint my eyes in an attempt to understand an artpiece knowing there wasn't anyone thinking "lol diz gurl dk shiat"

3. Read the description of the artwork to understand. Keep an open mind to get the full effect of being mind-blown.

It's like being in Mdm Chitra's class, seriously. Sorry to disappoint but despite being a Lit student, I still found it hard to understand half the pieces without reading their descriptions.

I suck at PC...

4. Comfortable footwear.

The museum may look small but you will have to walk quite alot.

5. Make full use of your free sticker pass. Which we didn't...

FUNNY STORY we were tired from the countless stairs we had to climb so we didn't go to the 4th floor at 8Q.

So when we were forced to enter this exhibit which was outside the museum, the lady who was in charge of the exhibit asked if we saw the aquarium at the 4th floor which, I quote was "EYE-OPENING!!" sigh... we couldn't go back up there... no.

6. Oh! Lest I forget! Go with your friends to make the trip more exciting, hilarious, unforgettable.

It was a great time to go to SAM for the 1st time with my friends who made the whole day more tolerable.

All in all, I still prefer cultural and historical museums, where I can relate to on a more direct level. Like National Museum or Asian Civilization Museum or Peranakan Museum oh so many cultural and historical museums in Singapore

(Thank you for the free entries!!!)
