Haha, I wonder if anyone can find events/places for the missing alphabets.. (Ok, I put JJ's name in :s hahaha) This is quite interesting. Came across this site while pondering over the itinerary for my event.

Super tired, Slept only 3 hours on Sunday morning -.- Visited the National Museum of Singapore - it's my first time!!!!! Visited the Quest for Immortality and saw mummies. Rather interesting. Shall put the photos up when I have time. :D The paper bag exhibition was interesting too! It makes me feel like going on a museum tour around Singapore. They can be interesting! I wonder why I've always hankered after overseas museums but not our own. They are nice (:

And because I stayed up late yesterday to watch Autumn's concerto, I was so worried I wouldn't be able to wake up this morning -.- (and still continued to watch anyway~). Thanks to Clement's dad for fetching us to work, at least I got a seat all the way even if I thought it would be really rude to fall asleep on the car, LOL. 

And HELLO YUENLING YOU'RE BACK!! :D:D:D
