last saturday, i went to the NMS (it stands for National Museum of Singapore). i had travelled past it so many times but it was the first time i actually stepped into the museum. it is enormous!
as we got in, i could feel the powerful air-con blowing. the whole place is so cold! we were quite lost in the museum and we don't know where to start. after getting the help from the staff, mummy bought the tickets. we began with the singapore history gallery. we were supposed to scan our tickets to get in through the gantry. as we walked through, a staff passed us a device that looked like a big remote control with a headphone. we were told to put it on as it will guide us through the whole tour. we had to key in the numbers that appeared on the floor and it will explain everything to us. i think it is very cool! the singapore history gallery tells all about singapore's history. we saw the singapore stone, picture of sir stamford raffles and his wife, and many more.
after that, we went to the singapore living galleries. at the food section, i learnt about the different food in singapore. i saw how satay, nasi lemak, laksa and chicken rice came about. at the film and wayang section, i saw how movies were made in the olden days and the different costumes that the wayang people used to wear. at the photography section, i saw a lot of old pictures and cameras. they were so different. now, we have photos with colours and our cameras are so small.
i had learnt so much from this trip. i would encourage you to visit if you have a chance. it is such a wonderful experience. anyway, i will try to put up some of the pictures that i had taken at the museum soon.

yesterday, mummy brought me to singapore science centre. the place is so far tat i almost fell asleep on the way. i got a shock when i reached there because the place is so big!
i tried to run in as fast as i could but mummy stopped me. i just realised that we have not had our lunch so we had macdonald's. after eating, we took some pictures with the dinosaur at the entrance. then, mummy went to get the tickets.
when i got in, i was like in a wonderland. the place is big n colourful. there are so many amazing exhibits and things to play around with. there are things about magnetism, water and many other science things. there is also a dino-world which shows about dinosaurs. it is very scary!
we also watched a movie. the title is "wild ocean". it talked about the life in the ocean. i saw dolphins, sharks, seals and tunas. the screen is different from the one at the cinema. it is round n huge. when the show started, i feel like i want to puke but i did not.
it was a wonderful day for me because i had learnt a lot from the science centre. i am looking for more outings next time! i will put up my lovely pictures soon.

last night, mummy brought me for prawning. it was a bad night because it rained heavily after a while. but we continued to prawn in the rain and we only caught very few prawns.
today is children's day but i was not very excited. i woke up at 7am so that i can go training with mummy. we bought carrot cake and milo for breakfast on the way. when we reached there, i was shocked as it was the biggest field I ever seen! mummy went and changed into her jersey while i put my bag on the bench. then, we ate our breakfast at the bench. the training was boring but i learnt more new moves.
after the training, we went to swim at the pool next to the field. i played the slide and tried to swim to one end of the teaching pool. the slide is very exciting n the water is not very deep at the teaching pool. xiao xian taught me some new moves. i think she is a great teacher.
after that, fern, sun jie, li jing, xiao xian, mummy and me went to J8 to buy some ingredients to cook dinner at xiao xian's house. everyone must prepare a dish. we bought a lot things and they cost $77 in total.
while mummy and her friends were cooking in the kitchen, i played wii. i played the usual games but I tried a new game this time. it is some kind of operation game. it is very disgusting but i continued to play. am I weird?
when dinner is ready, i could lift up my nose and smell the smell the prawns. we had steamboat. one spicy soup and one normal soup. li jing also cooked "coke" chicken wings. it is something i never hear of. but dinner was very delicious.
after dinner, all of us played wii. we had alot of fun laughing at each other. i partnered mummy for a tennis game and we won! i was so happy. i think mummy is good. Because when i partnered li jing, we lost.
mummy said we must go home early today beacause i have school tommorrow. I enjoyed so much that I don't feel like going home. but i must be a good girl and listen to mummy. she sure will bring me there again.
