Chapter 78 : Historical

Guess what I'm doing at Fort Canning Link...

The Peranakan Museum is situated along that area and I decided to make a little historical trip there yesterday.

The chandelier is just so pretty, don't you agree?

What a traditional peranakan bride would wear.

I love the design on this carpet.

Along with the outfit, they have to put on these accessories as well.

The thing I love about the peranakan culture is their attention to detail.

Really doubt such a bed would be comfortable though..

Hard to find ancient phones like these.

My family still keeps a few of these at home and we put them on display in a glass box too!

How a typical peranakan kitchen would look like in the older days, most traditional peranakan families now would have such a kitchen in their homes.

I <3 the chandelier.

The building itself is very unique from the outside as you can see, they are very particular to every detail which adds up to the overall look of the place.

This was taken at the shop houses beside the museum, isn't the logo from the infamous Sticker Lady?

This trip was more of a self-discovery for me and to reflect on the things that I've done in the past where I may not be that proud of, it gave me a chance to look back at my roots and be a better person, not sure if you get my point cause after all, it is still my self-discovery.

Chapter 77 : Up Up Up!

It's been quite awhile since I've been back in Singapore after my Genting trip and I just finished editing these photos specially for this post! Here it is, the long awaited, Genting Trip Post. My classmates and I have been planning and anticipating this trip for awhile now and it took a lot of time and planning before it became a reality, we went through plenty of obstacles and when I say plenty, I really mean plenty. 

But it's all good now, we made it up there anyway and we had loads of fun. Although I have to say, 3 Days and 2 Nights were kind of short, 4 Days and 3 Nights would have been more sufficient since there were so many things to do there. We missed out on Snow World and Indoor Theme Park.

Stayed over at Shao Ming's with the guys the night before we left for Genting, I didn't really get much sleep cause I knew I would definitely be sleeping on the coach itself for the entire ride and I really did that.

First Stop: Yong Peng

They look like some band poster cover.

First thing we did when we alighted from the coach was obviously to check in, and the cool thing about Genting now is that there's this "Check-In Kiosk" that lets you check into your hotel room using your passport, saves you the time to queue up, however the sucky thing is that you can't really choose your rooms, especially if you are booking more than one room, so we decided to do it the old fashion way by heading to the reception to allocate us our rooms.

What's a trip without your normal group photo.

Doesn't look that appealing, doesn't it, I know, I didn't really spend much time editing this.

I guess you can say we were frequent visitors of Starbucks at Genting due to the WiFi access there, I loved eating their Chocolate Banana Cake although I only ate it once.

We even had a chance to try out Archery, I wasn't really that good at it because I kind of put my energy at bowling and we did archery straight after we finished bowling... Can you imagine the strain.

We even took the cable car down and back up again just for fun.

For our second day, we went to the outdoor theme park, nothing much has changed there but there has been some work going on there, most likely there's going to be a new addition to the outdoor theme park coming up. It was sooooooooo fun, especially with friends, most likely because I'm an only child and most of the time when an only child goes to Genting, your parents leave you at the LAN Shop to play all day or you just play the indoor theme park cause it's safer. Glad to have gone with my friends.

For dinner, we headed for the International Buffet, they have most of the basic cuisines from local (Singapore & Malaysia) to Japanese to Western.

We ate to our heart's desire, that's one thing for sure.

Dessert before heading back to our hotel room.

We tried staying up late on the second night but kinda failed at it. Next day, we packed our bags and headed back to Singapore, it was fun while it lasted although I slept throughout the bus ride home again. Went for dinner at Macs and went home to sleep!

That's all for my trip! Thanks for reading.

Chapter 76 : D-E-M-I

If you missed out on my previous post, I mentioned that I was going to attend Demi Lovato's concert and it was my first concert that I ever attended, one word to describe the experience? Humid.

It was humid everywhere, a lot of people either felt too warm or didn't have enough air during the concert or was just too dehydrated, it was such a sad sight to see people being brought out of the concert because of those reasons but none the less I had a great time at the concert although one point after seeing so many people being brought out, I myself felt like being brought out too for fresh air.

Tiffany Alvord attended the concert as well and as you can see in the picture below, outside of Candylicious, where she was there for a photo taking session for just awhile, I was in the queue and suddenly there were just too many fangirls that Tiffany just ran away...

Hi Fithri!

 Patiently waiting for the concert to start, we waited since 4pm, when the concert starts at 8pm and worse of all, she came at 8.40pm-9pm.

Tiffany Alvord signing autographs inside of the arena, some people even let her sign their phones... That phone's gonna be worth a lot of money now ^^

There were lots of rich kids on the VIP stage and they had posters and they were kind enough to use their huge posters to fan us cause it was really very warm like some kind of sauna and there were so many people, lmao. Like seriously, at one point I really felt that there wasn't anymore fresh air...

All the kanchiong spiders preparing their cameras even before the concert starts.

DEMI!

The encore performance for the night was none other than "Give Your Heart A Break". She even sang a country song and one of her recently released song, "Heart Attack". However, my favourite performance of the night was "Fix A Heart", it's a very slow song but yet it's kinda nice. I also just realised that Demi likes to have the word "Heart" in most of her song titles.

That's how we wrapped out special night with Demi Lovato, after that we went for Mac at HarbourFront Centre and went home straight.

PS: To the Hardrock Cafe Security/Resorts World Security, you need to improve on how you make people queue up, form a proper line than living a giant gap inbetween lines, and provide shelter for your queues...
