My sweet mom wanted us to celebrate Christmas again with her in Singapore, and so we did. We went there last year and it was a different experience compared to our first trip there.
On Christmas eve we went to the National Museum of Singapore and Singapore Art Museum. We saw visual portraits of popular icons such as Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt by Robert Wilson. There was also an exhibit by a photographer named Chang Chien-Chi, his several interesting black and white photos were posted there. Also I liked the other paintings there, most especially the vintage ones.
Of course we went back to Chinatown, but we not just bought pasalubongs there. We discovered a temple there, the One Hundred Buddhas temple. I really didn't count them, they're really many and some of them were either small or really big. The temple was amazing, really. Then we took again the lights out tour, but our first time was better.
We also went to Jurong Bird Park, since we weren't able to go there on our first trip. I'm not really fond of birds, but I love penguins so I got so giddy when I saw some there. Then we finally rode the Singapore Flyer, which was designed by my mom and other architects of DP Architects. It was actually a miracle for us that we weren't the ones who got stuck there because after that day that big ferris wheel got stuck.
We stayed there for fourteen days just like the first time. It was a different trip from the first one since we were able to go to places in a slow pace. But of course, we still bought some ice cream there and went to our favorite food shops. The trip to the museums and seeing penguins made it extra special for me. I'm actually hoping to go to the Doll museum next time, I don't know when we'll come back but I know we will but not this year.
