People inevitably ask me, " So now that you are taking a break for a while, what are you doing to keep yourself occupied?"

Plenty, thank you.

Other than the usual SLEEPING (lovely!...) and GOING ONLINE and CLEANING THE HOUSE FOR MY MOM, I have actually been pretty occupied with quite a lot.

For example:

Ooh la la! For those of you who faithfully read my blog, you will know that I've been helping Sis Ann with the Cemetery Project, and after all the hard work the entire team put together, we got treated by Uncle Danny Chin to the Swissotel Merchant Court Hotel's Ellenborough Market Cafe for a dinner buffet. Yummy! The food wasn't fantastic, but it was still really delicious.

And of course, what is "yummy" without it's signature durian pengat? DOUBLE yummy! I think my dad's one is still the best, but this one is not bad.
And for the record, Malaysia's durian is still better than Thai durian (China, HK and Taiwan imports from the latter place). HK-er Pek Ching told us that she doesn't like the durian found in HK, I didn't like the durian in TW, and we both like the durian found here, at home.

For example:

Scouting out the museums of Singapore. Just yesterday, Jermaine and I went to the Singapore National Museum- OH MY WORD. It has changed so much and is SO COOL to go there now!

Granted, it was a bit pricey, even with the special package deal- all galleries for only $18. However, we spent 3 hours there and yet there was hardly enough time to even cover half the exhibits. It was kinda funny because we were practically "jogging" through the 2 special exhibits on display that I had specially come for- the Christian Lacroix theatre costume exhibit, and the Verner Panton furniture disply.

The Christian Lacroix exhibit was a bit small but it was fashion love-art right there. He is one heck of a designer! You know how some haute couture designs are just like... "Who in the right mind would wear that? Can you even wear that?" But Lacroix's creations are dizzy and complicated, yet still stunning, elegant and has that Midas touch there. I still can't get out of my head this one long sky-blue train of Carmen's dress.

His sketches were definite highlights.

As for the Verner Panton one... see the picture on the right? You could go in there and play and sit and enjoy the art. It was the highlight alright, but there was so many other cool furniture art pieces. Unbelievable. Simply super.

Jerm's comment on Facebook pretty much sums it up- "Wish we had more time :("
