Toy Museum So Cool

Wow... TOY MUSEUM... at last went the first time after its launching last year.
I am doing research on toys for my final year project at lasalle wow... so excited sia. -_-... self high...

Mint the toy Museum stands for Moment of imagination and Nostalgia with toys. The entrance fee quite exp its $10 per adult. Its a 5-level building located at 26 Seah Street, Singapore 188382.

In the old days, toys were made of tins and celluloid, which was banned later on. Tin was banned because of its sharp edges and the lead painting on the toys. Tin lithography was used to print colors on tin. Celluloid another material that looked like plastics was banned due to its flammable property.
Sorry the pics taken abit dark... due to no photograping with flash... flash lights will fade of the colour in the toys.

Happy 42th Birthday Singapore!

Yeah! Last min recieved a tix to NDP 2007 from RC! Horray! erm as usual... i hated this kind of event where there will sure be lots of ppl and noises...but i went!

We reached abt 4pm... ppl mountain ppl sea... so many children ard us. Even through we entered late, we are still able to get a good view of the performance. THE GOOD BAG! Everyone must be wondering whats inside rite! Very heavy sia! Inside there is an animal cap, H2O and green tea packet drink, a mini fan, a star clapper, singapore flap, potato chips, sweets, tatoos, music CD, tissue paper.... The bag even got a theme this year! the bag is called Assembly Bag... it compromises of 3 zipped straps and formed into a bag, this allows the users to change colour with frens, customises the size of the bag into a bigger or smaller bag. Amazing, but the quality of the bag sucks... i think its due to over demand and supply from the manufacturing company.

This year its held at marine bay, they declared tat its the largest floating stage! Its kind of eye sore when i saw the construction cranes and structures still workings behind the beautiful stage... -_-

I am quite disappointed wif the event as compared to the one i think i went 2 years ago. This event its too dry... the hosts is like self highing... then there isnt any mood and feel in the event. very few singapore will join in to sing the songs and everyone seems to be more interested in the goodiebags then the performance =_=...
Ok la... stop the craps pics attached below. Overall i rate 3/5 for the whole event... its like majiam watching the musical fountain at sentosa!

I am on off today! YeAS... starting sch next week so freaking excited...





Wondering if Kiat Boon is inside one of them???


Students wearing marine costumes!

This women inserted the 2 flats into her hair! LOL

The best pic for firework that is taken :(
