After splitting a Great Yankee Chicken Burger four-ways at New York New York… (That burger was MASSIVE)

Sarah: Ugh. I’m so full, I feel like I’m going to give birth to a bunch of little chicken burgers.

Anyway, so my job-free days are now filled with exciting adventures around Singapore. Managed to visit the Quest for Immortality exhibition last week, but I’ve been too lazy to post the photos because it’s such a tedious process. I don’t know how other people can patiently insert the memory card into the computer, pick out the photos they want out of the hundreds, upload them onto a photo-hosting website (which takes an eternity), crop/resize/photoshop the photos, copy-paste the codes onto blogger/wordpress/livejournal and manually refer back and forth between the two websites to make sure you’re writing about the photo that you’ve just copied-pasted. I could study my entire A level curriculum again within that time-frame.

Eh ignore the dude over there, didn’t realize he was in the photo.

Origami section where you can fold your own pyramids, but I think they just look like cones.
My pyramid and Shane’s pyramid.

They killed and ate giraffes! :(
Shane figured that the symbols represented some kind of recipe, like knife/blade = kill, duck = kill the duck, frying pan = cook the duck.

Anyway the exhibition was a bit “meh”, but we found a really awesome book at the souvenir shop which showed all the vintage Singaporean stuff, like photos of cinemas back in the 70s and the advertisements and products sold back then. One of the other books even had revamped recipes of food that was often cooked during Singapore’s war-time. Was really tempted to buy, but somehow I think it’d end up like the Six Feet Under book I got – pretty and nice to look at for the first couple of times but will end up sitting on my shelf gathering dust.

We came across this creepy advertisement to promote vegetable-eating habits in children. What the hell, what kid would be enticed to eat carrots after seeing this creepy dancing old carrot?! Good grief, look at its/his(?) shoes! Look at the supposed beauty mole on his ankle! Anthropomorphism is just plain weird. But I thought it was funny that Doctor Carrot had a cleft chin haha.

We found out that there was an on-going exhibition upstairs on Singapore in the olden days, which turned out to be quite awesome and unlike those melodramatic museums of Singapore during war-times that they always make us go to when we were in primary school. Remember tutu cakes when we were younger?! Mmm.

Shane: What the hell, this is obviously a man in drag.
Me: Yah!
Then we watched the video that was located behind the painting, which was pretty what-the-hell because they didn’t explain anything at all about the painting except for the first 5 seconds when it simply stated that it’s actually some princess (oops) of Johor of Turkish descent, then it went on to show an interview of an old inter-racial couple. Heh?! But the old couple was quite sweet.

Awesome exhibition of the old plastic bags/paper bags used back in the olden days.

Places to explore or things to do next: Bird Park/Zoo/Underwater World, possibly Zorbing (looks hilariously fun, couldn’t stop laughing when Denise told me to check it out), and of course, London!
