This is my 2nd time joining HeritageFest event. First was 'Fun on Foot' with uni peeps and now it's "Expedition H" with fun kakis. Phew, luckily i went. Thought it was super enriching and nice.
I went without having any expectation except the fact that i thought I would be under the sun for the whole afternoon! The actual fact is not! muahahah...
First stop is Asia Civilization Musuem. Prior of admitting the place, we sat just beside the river to hear the stories on Ho Chi Minh and Jose xxx. Couldn't remember the name. ha. shame on me. Tsk tsk.
So HCM is the first president who has been 'badly' influenced by Lenin and communism. Ha. After 30 years on the run, he finally went back to the motherland to fight for a change! phew. Kekeke.. he died on 2 Sept 1969. Ha. I still rem the details! Good job, Pauline!! She was our tourguide from Journey pte. Ha.
So the whole thing gets a it touristy. We really being treated like tourist. Ha. Duh!!
Then we headed to ACM. Glad to saw Steve McCurry's works here. Oya, there's an exhibition of his photography works, now being showed case in ACM. nice and meaningful picture being taken. You know who he is?? He is a photographer with National Geography. Rem that Aghanistan girl with the 'fear' look? That's his artwork.
We were asked to observe the Buddha statue/figure by different culture. It was said that the one from Burmese or Thai looked more Asian, as compared to Indian. We cant really tell the difference. Ha.
Vietnamese food sampling was next. Carrot cake, mango salad and spring roll plus jasmine tea. Ha. It was a surprise!!!
The next stop is kinda interesting. We went to Kali-Majapahit Martial Arts school. You know, the origin is from Phillipines. This french guy has the passion for MA and ya, he is the owner of that school.
Sarung fighting! How would you interpret this? Some said it means the guys fight in Sarung while malingsu and me thought the guys actually use sarung as a weapon/tool. The answer is we are right! muahahah...
amazing ah. the demo. kekeke... nice exposure. We never know such things exist other than the famous chinese MA. kekeke.. okok, maybe i 孤陋寡闻！哈！
Then we passed by the colorful bridge @ Robertson Quay. Pauline told us the stories behind it. Ya, nippon was the sponsor, so does STB. Haha...
We came to Fort canning to see this Asean Sculpture Garden. You know of such place? then there is this capsicum-like sculpture. haha.. sorry, it's the little chilly. haha... just right in front of National Musuem of Singapore
Last stop is Burmese temple at balestier. We found out that the Burmese monks normally has 2 meals a day, and only juice after mid-noon. They are not vegetarian!
So it was a rather educational tour!! ;p
After the tiring tour, we head for Peranakan and Udder ice-cream. *YUMZ*
I like rum and raisin flavour!!!
