Singapore-Malacca (17th - 25th October) Part IV

Fourth Day
Date: 20th October 2006
Day: Friday

9am Woke up, but sis left d... :(
9.05am Get ready,eat breakfast than start my journey....Went though the same process of taking bus to MRT but this time i stopped at China Town MRT.
10.23am Reach China Town MRT...Start to jalan-jalan down the streets. It feels like KL's Pasar Seni :) I walked and walked and look at lots of things...i even saw this dress which was SSSOOO beautiful!!!but it cast $103 Sing Dollars!!!!!! *tears*
I manage to bought all my souveniors from China Town too...
11.45am Start looking for food. Try to find the store which my sis say that thier restaurant are famous for the ramen one ;) The store name is Bei Fang Feng Wei...ate thier Su Tang Ramen
Yum Yum....After emptying this delivious bowl of noodles which gives me enough energy to continue my journey, i start to walk all the way to Asian Cilivization Museum,. On the way i passed by the Singapore river and since i am still early,sat at the si
After sketching this cool antique building, my journey continues....
But before i reach the museum, i saw this monument...
Something from home...Information about the pole...
Behind the pole,there is a red fire hydrant... cool huh
In the end i reached the Asian Civilisation Museum just in time for thier guided tourThe ticket.
During the guided tour, the guide introduced to the place,the different culture which was shown in the museum, the things which is put there for us to view. I am amazed by the things in side and how well they did the place. You not only find alot of monuments and artifacts, they even put alot of touch screen computers with audio and visual to explain to you in detail about the different culture that is in it.
Imagine we actually have 46 htousand disland in sea through out the whole wide world~!
And in the museum, you can see how differnet culture view the world and a simple thing can have different meaning to different culture. Take for example when the buddhist statue (whch is a male) was brought from India to China. A part of the statue means gentleness, to people in china gentleness means feminism. So the people in China change the statue to a well known feminine god now known as Guan Ying. When people from the western came over to China and saw the statue. They thought "Hey the people in China is catholic as they have mother mary's statue!!!"
Cool huh...
I spent the whole day there that i almost lost track of time and in te end have to quickly browse though. But when i was about to leave this authentic one of a kind museum, i saw this sign!!!Yup BP De Silva...my client ;)
While i was in the museum, they have this special exhibition of the NOH, which is a form of Japanese art and drama...It is whereby they wear a mask and perform on stage.
Me trying to be like one of the Japanese performer... :P Where is my Noh??
I planned to be even more adventurous and walk from the museum to Bugis, than to Little India where i will meet my sister. But seeing that the trip to the museum takes more time than i thought it would, i decided to just take the MRT to the Little India stop.
When i reach the station, i meet up with my sister and her boyfriend, Siew Leong.
Aren't they just an adorable couple?
Seeing that the next day is Deepavali, we went to an Indian restaurant in Little India to have our dinner.
One of the road sign in Little India...Another street sign...
Me chi bao mei shi zhuo (after eating nothing to do) Take picture with the sign board hehe...
after dinner we decided to join the crowd and walk down Little India street...it was PACKED!!!! Fu yoh...it fells like i am packed in a sardine like that...Busy street...Me again trying to be cute ;)
After the little walk in the busy festive street of Little India,we went back home and plan for the next day's journey :)
