International Museum Day (31 May 09)

It had been long since I last visited a Museum (you can image, way before the National Museum underwent the major renovation)..... hahahe you should have guessed how many donkey years liao......

Thus, due to the open house in most of the museums (free admission) today, I purposely wake up early this morning to start off my one day museum hopping. I managed to visit 4 museums, namely Asian Civilizations Museum, Singapore Philatelic Museum, The Peranakan Museum and National Museum of Singapore. The crowds were still alright. However, the most killing part is to queue up for the Singapore History Gallery in National Museum of Singapore. It took me more than a hour to get in, and before I could slowly look and listen to the exhibit, it was about to close.....

Anyway, it was a fruitful day and some of the exhibits really bring me down the memory lane.

JERRY?

OMG, this really funny translation was found in one of the long distance buses rest point in Malaysia........

龙眼仙草= GRASS JERRY WITH LONGAN
遮里 = JERRY
玫瑰露 = ROSE SIRAD

In fact 玫瑰露 is one type of Chinese wine. I believed they referring to Bandung, the Chinese name should be 玫瑰糖浆.

Fish Spa

Tried something that is not so new..... Fish Spa.


Found this shop in People Park Centre and is promoting the service at a very special rate after it's renovation. So I decided to give it a try.

First, you have to rinse your feet. Then, then sit on the bench and immersed your feet into the pool.

Once my feet were inside the water, the fishes just gathered around my feet and start 'biting' on my feet (The true fact is the fishes are eating away your dead skin). It feel very ticklish, I almost shout out, but just only giggling for a while. I also put my hands for a fish spa treatment.

There are two pools in this shop, I started with the pool that contained fishes slightly bigger in size. It give me a ticklish feeling. Then at last few minutes before my session end, I switched to the pool with smaller size fishes. Oooohhh, the feeling is totally stunning, once the small fishes started 'biting' at your feet, it gives an electrifying feeling. When I stated to enjoy, shits, my session ends. My conclusion, must go for the one with small fishes during the next visit.
