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!!!)

Also maybe cos I'm a histodent...

Living Life on The Fast Lane

Time flies, as fast as the F1 cars. During the prelim periods, I lost track of time repeating the mundane dull cycle of study-eat-sleep.
But when my mom told us she got tickets to watch the F1 race, I started counting down to the Saturday where I could watch the cars zoom-zoom heart like a rocket. 
And people watch, all these people with endless pockets and massive love towards their respective teams.

I'm no big F1 fan but I do follow up on the race occasionally, when I stumble upon it while channel surfing during my rare tv breaks.
Nonetheless, I've always wanted to hear the tires screech against the roads live while actually vigurously shake my head in an attempt to follow the cars.

Ps, I went on Saturday, the practice race not the race itself so the atmosphere wasn't exactly the best but amazeballs no matter!

these cookies are so darn delicious? as far as I know, they're only sold at Wisma Atria basement

our ticket allowed us access to almost everywhere except the VVIP areas including the concerts but the good acts were on Sunday which my mom went... Cos I had to "study" so I watched Pet Shop Boys with adults ranging from 30-50, bobbing their heads (including my dad)

also, the toilet is lush like omg the only air-conditioned part of the venue

Welcome, welcome

FINALLY????

but what like the Battlestar rollercoaster was still closed.....

anyhoo

cos Hajar, Iryana and I had to organise the "toughest" day for the Brunei kids, we were rewarded with USS tickets ((do not be deceived that only the 3 of us were going. we actually had to "nanny" the Brunei kids))

*am gonna make a seperate post on the exchange program but my SD cards keep flying around BARNACLES*

We went on Thursday so it wasn't that crowded and yes we skipped school for this zomg??!?!?

Plus this was totally needed cos it was our GP paper the day before and I pretty much felt miserable...

Therefore, to kinda cheer me up temporarily, USS!!!!!

so yeah, I was pretty much impressed with the overall look of the place tho.

It looked legit, I felt like a kid all over again huehue....

((I kinda got too excited that I saw BumbleBee like omg.....))

We took the Transformers x2 cos we didn't have the whole day :-(

Mummy ride x2 also

The rest took it x3 but it was really nauseating for me

Yes, I am weak

Hated this ride so much like how dare you soak me even when I'm wearing a poncho

But it was actually good

Plus, their other rides like the flying one and the canopy one allowed me to forgive the wetness of it all

Selfie for Farz cos her un is @Farzfarzaway lol

I honestly felt like a kid in USS woop

The tickets our school bought had like a $10 food voucher so yeaaaa

ft Charlie and churros ((which were extremely long, too long))

Peace out
