Exchange no more!
Yay!I just realised that I no longer multiply by 5 everytime I buy something in Singapore! No more comparison between China RMB and Singapore Dollar!
Then again, I also realised that it's almost 1st September, two months after my return. Am I lagging or what? :/

Innocent Question 91
(Seen on a Channel 8 drama, the guy got drunk and apparently had sex with the woman.)QueenPig: Is it true that the guy is still capable of sex when he's drunk?
QP's Mummy: Shouldn't you ask a guy? How would I know?
Apparently, my guy friends say it's highly unlikely. Like that how?! TV bluff little kids like me leh!
What do you guys think? *wink*

It's for life
I'm 22. He's 84.
I'm his grand-daughter for 22 years.
I remember the times when I will run down the long corridor, just to see you sitting at the steps, play cards and waiting for our arrival.
I remember the times when I was young and stayed over at the house, happily messing up the sofa's cushions.
I remember the times when you tempted me with bottles of Yakult.
I remember the soft, chewy candies that must always be there during Chinese New Year, because I like them.
I remember the kuehs, nuts and other yummy stuff you always buy for me.
I remember the 'Heng Hua Bee Hoon' that you cook during Chinese New Year.
I remember you asking me to study hard and get a degree.
I remember the cacti you have which are always long, skinny and tall, just like you.
I remember your hands in mine.
I remember the last look you gave me when I said "Ah Gong, I'm here."
He's 84. I'm 22.
He's my grandpa for life.
Thanks for waiting for me to return. Thanks for giving me such a wonderful mum. Thanks for everything.

真的
真的 - 张韶涵我努力的仰着脸孔
试着眼泪不往下流
别往下流
不安的感觉到什么
在我生活中不再相同
很不相同
想要说
却还沉默
伸出手
无法触碰
天空突然一片辽阔
原来你是真的已经离开我
在我不熟悉的世界过新的生活
闭上眼让泪水滑落
此刻你已真的永远离开我
在另外一个没有我的世界自由的走

Taped and disjointed
There are some things I want to write about, but I can't.Some thoughts, some feelings, if you know about them, you might be shocked. But it's not always I feel this way, and they may not accurately portray what kind of person I am.
I have no idea when I start to have things I don't/can't/shouldn't tell others. I have no idea why I'm feeling so stressed up, so... pent up, and so... pendulating.
The peace over-ridden by fear - but fear doesn't serve to be my motivation.
I feel like an over-stretched rubber band.
Maybe I need help. Maybe, just maybe I'm already no longer on the brink of insanity.
'Cos I already am.
P.S. I think it's that me trying to hide in the shell, alone, again. Any help will be brutally rejected, even though unintentionally. To you, I say sorry...

MINT Museum of Toys
In a small corner in Singapore, there's a private museum called "MINT Museum of Toys". MINT stands for Moment of Imagination and Nostalgia with Toys, and is the "world's first purpose-built museum for toys.
Situated at 26 Seah Street, it's convenient and easy to spot with it's eye-catching exterior.
But that's not all! The array of vintage toys and childhood memorabilia is bound to spellbound you and lead you back into the memories of your childhood days!
Here's the old Wall-E...
This is some big cartoon which name I cannot remember. But I was trying to imitate him. Look like?
Popeye was so popular back then, he was a character on the carousel!
Popeye evolution!
That Woodstock really loves to stand out! :D
This is a Popeye hot water bottle. It's so old it looks like Popeye's skin just peeled after a terrible case of sun burn!
Check out the Joker! Looks the same...
Who says Batman must be in black with a black car?
They used to be blue too...
I always thought Astroboy is a pretty recent thing with weird hair... Apparently not. His hair were not that spikey then!
So sweeeeet!
Do you remember Felix the cat? Didn't know he have kids!
More little Felixes... Some of them bear resemblance to the Batman!
Who still loves Mickey?
Mickey looking a little... erm.. worn.
Nigger Boys! Discrimination?
That's my relatives and me!
Another well-known fairy tale... but where's Snow White?
Betty Boop used to be in green!
And black!
And now, red!
See-through transparent floor! Don't step on it if you're wearing a skirt or dress!
China dolls that are a little freaking, in my opinion...
This can't be worse.
Why so serious?
Chucky?
Barbie and Ken in the past, before plastic surgery was popular.
Can you spot me? They were made when tin was popular.
I wasn't faking okay~ I was reading about tin and monkies!
This is a different kind of suntanning! There's a big duckie, live! :D
A radio peacock.
Are you afraid of the dark...
If you look closely, the panda and ducks are made of these round balls of fur! I use to make these dolls in primary school!
The classic 100-grids snake-and-ladders!
Marbles that I never played with. But I did own a similar skipping rope in primary school!
More scary tin toys!
Do you know them?
The Monkees!
And here's the Beatles!Why they name bands after animals/insects?
Wanna fish? :D
Donald Ducks! Comes in yellow or orange feet and beaks.
Slightly more-recognisable Mickeys. (Or should it be Mickies?)
There's a nice cafe at the basement. A $5 off discount card was given when I bought tickets to the museum and I used it at the cafe! It's not very expensive, almost similar to the prices of cafes outside.
I love this corner where they have this 老夫子 and 大番薯 playing chess!
A jubilant Mickey!
Can someone tell me who he is? Is he the guy chasing Popeye?The admission charges for adults and children/senior citizen are $15 and $7.50 respectively. Students are eligible to a 50% discount. There're other discounts too, like PASSION card holders, SAFRA card holders and Friends of Ikea, just to name a few.
The museum is open from 0930 to 1830 daily. Visit www.emint.com for more details!
