My CNY Holidays...

My CNY holidays was getting boring at home so i decided to do something about it!
Besides sleeping & waking up late, i crammed my days catching films. Indian, English, Chinese, Japanese.. u name it...
Not willing to waste it even more, i happen to visit the museums.. yes the.. musuems...i always loved goin but was too lazy to move m y lardy ass...haahah....i happen to visit 2 museums at 2 different dates.

Hobbled down to the Peranakan Museum.
Seriously, i have never heard of this place till recently...yikes!To think, its situated somewhere near City Hall... Its a lovely building:) The info counter staff were not so helpful but we found our way around the place.
Since it was a Friday, the admission is only $3! Not bad, most of the exhibits were from Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam & so on... not much from India.
After our tour, we made it down to Lau Pau Sat for our dinner. Mine sucked but the rojak was delicious! Sort of finished the whole plate!hahahah
Enjoyed the night out!

I was eagerly awaiting to catch this exhibition. I simply loooove Mughals jewels... they are just sooo exquisite and beauutiful...
To my added luck, the museums were on open house yesterday!!yeah.....
The jewels were unimaginably unbelieveably awesome! Soo much of detailed craftsmanship was used in those jewels. Even the swords & daggers are bejwelled! I was totally bedazzled.
I visited many of the other exhibits too. Looved the SOuth Asian gallery which showcased the artefacts from India especially South India. I was almost on the verge of fainting of hunger so i quickly snapped the pix and left ..I think i left out a gallery! So wasted!:(

Had a laaaate lunch & early dinner at a place called soupelicous i think at City Link...It was goood..:)should make another trip there!

One more pending visit to the museum, the Egyptian artefacts...Im coooming....
