Light to Night Festival 2019




This is a free festival by the National Gallery Singapore around the City Hall area which you should go. I went for both events which was the Singapore Art Week and the SG Bicentennial of which the latter is currently on-going. Honestly, the Art Week one was more happening but I think some of the exhibits along the pavement are still around and they're totally instagram worthy.
For now if you go, you will get to see projections on the facades of the National Gallery in the theme of SG Bicentennial. 
I think the highlight was the one Kumar, a local and famous comedian and cross dresser, did his 45 minute stand up comedy routine and there were so many laugh out loud moments literally every few seconds, haha. He was that good. All this mostly based on his interactions and observations in Singapore. Of course he poked fun at the different nationalities besides just Singaporeans and earlier at one point, I felt I was also targeted for being that 38 year single woman, haha. No, it's not because I am picky...or am I? haha..

 For the SG Bicentennial, the Friday show at 10.00 featured Hirzi, another local youtuber, writer and director, who was also funny and did a comedy roast of the founding fathers of Singapore. His jokes on Sir Stamford Raffles, who got roasted the most, were funny but true though. I strangely agreed what he had to say about it such as giving credit to those people who came to explore before him but yet Stamford Raffles got the honour of being the founder.

 For the food, I enjoyed having the Meatball in a Bucket, where they put in meatballs with some mashed potato and fries in a small plastic bucket, all for $10.

 For the SAW, these were found along the the various spots of the City Hall area.

 Enjoy the pics below!







This was not part of the festival, obviously lols, but I remembered taking a picture here as well around 2010 I think and that was so long ago. I wanted to recreate the look but was not brave enough to do the 'point to something' look. I thought this was well taken and something like an OOTD, haha.

Being a Teacher isn't Easy

I work with teachers but I'm not a teacher. I actually work in the admin department and I like my job though sometimes it can be challenging especially when I feel swarmed by it. Or when my boss keeps calling me for work related stuffs especially when she is doing the approval for payment or vetting through. So, the headache. Anyway, I can honestly say most teachers are really nice though some are really driving me up the wall. That or they are just simply aint nice but then, it is also because of their personality. But as teachers, they are really dedicated. I also deal with parents and honestly, they can be demanding and very irritating and they are not scared of the higher authority in school. To them, they are being like that all because they care for their children but they are overbearing as if they don't let their children make mistakes and learn. Plus, whatever their children said, they believe every bit of their story though they are not there to see for themselves an...

A Reminder to the Living

Recently, we lost our former President when he passed away at the age of 92. He was known to have his heart for the people although those who worked closely with him couldn't actually picture him as that for he was a taskmaster when it came to work. He did his own narratives and do the best that he could as he knew where he came from and wanted to make good out of his life.  He showed that the circumstances that we are in can't stop us from going far in life. We should continue to focus on our actions, has strong dedication and when things get difficult, look at the bigger picture and understand why we are here. Ultimately, we should all be working towards the purpose we have in mind which makes things easier to cope. Thank you for helping the Singaporeans especially those who needed help most. You would always be the people's President. On the other spectrum, a young child had also lost his life. A few of my colleagues witnessed the events which unfolded in front of...

Our First Group Meeting After Graduation

It has been a long time coming since the last time we met was on Graduation Day although I did meet up with 3 of them quite recently for a birthday celebration. I somehow never seem to miss out on any of the gatherings including the time when we went to a coffee shop after our stressful Econs exam papers. Still don't know how we survived that miraculously..haha.. Anyway, I've always been a silent supporter to this friendly bunch of people who always make me feel inclusive knowing that I am a lady of few words, haha.  We went to this restaurant called PU3 and although the service staff should really write down orders so that we don't always have to remind them that two of our drinks had not arrived get our orders wrong. I mean it's for their customers' benefit and also their own so that they don' undercharge their customers. Just saying. They serve Nasi Ambeng served in a big dulang or tray that is meant to be eaten by 2, 4 or 6 people which is m...
