Anyway on Sat afternoon, we had this guided tour/cell group outing at the Singapore Art Museum, led by Aunty Lili who was a volunteer guide at the museum. Cool right. We saw this exhibition from the Daimler (as in the Mercedes-Benz company) Art Collection. The pieces were mainly taken from 80 years of art collected at Daimler's corporate office, including those commissioned by the company. I realise art is really subjective, and up to your own interpretation. A piece may be very beautiful and meaningful to someone, yet really ugly and pointless to someone else. But it really helps if you have a knowledgable source explaining the background and context of an art piece, cuz from there it's easier for you to form your opinions of it. Also, not all art has to have meaning behind it. Some, like those constructivist ones, are plainly just about combining geometrical lines and colours to make something pretty haha. I learnt quite a lot about abstract terms like 'constructivism' and 'minimalism' too haha. So that was pretty cool.
Then at night, I hopped over to Chijmes for our WWF RO dinner haha. I had reserved a place at this Italian pizza place, cuz being the cheapos we are, we thought we could get a complimentary bottle of red wine with a credit card promotion. But alas, they didn't have any promotions on Vday. Sucks. Oh well, at least the food and ambience was good :D Chijmes is seriously a very nice place, though it's a tad too expensive.
Then at Plaza Sing, we saw this really gross sight outside the toilet. Someone actually shat at the entrance! Damn gross man. We had to navigate our way across the trail of faeces haha. But seriously, it's super hilarious cuz I can't imagine how it's even possible for someone to shit before making it to the cubicle hahaha. And it's not a kid's shit, cuz apparently Pei says it's adult-sized. We also hung around outside to observe other toilet users' reactions haha (ya, only we can derive entertainment from activities like this). It's really an observation on social behaviour lor, cuz most loners will just make a gross expression and carry on (carefully) into the toilet. Those in groups will make a huge din and keep fussing about it (like us). So it proves that people in groups behave differently than when they're alone.
Shitty incidents aside, it was really fun to just let loose and talk about everything under the sun with people I'm close with :)) An example of a conversation we had:
P: What's the most romantic place in Singapore?
N: (very matter-of-factly) The bedroom lor.
P: What gift do you expect from your bf?
N: Anything practical. Like money.
Hahaha! I love my friends.
But sigh, now it's time to study :(( I really hate the feeling of crashing back to reality after a weekend of fun. No wonder they call it the Monday blues. Also, I'm starting to think I shouldn't have gone to watch a late night movie last night, when I have school the very next day. It makes it harder to re-adjust my mood back to 'Mugging'. But anyway "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" was alright. Quite meaningful (plus Brad Pitt is really nice to look at), though I felt quite empty after watching it haha. I think I expected more.
Ok, it's back to hell for now. The good times were good while they lasted. Dark days lie ahead.
My hands are high
And I'm holding out, holding up
Because I figure that I just might make it
