The Wedding Dress: 200 Years of Wedding Fashion from the Victoria and Albert Museum, London

ABBEY:  The gallery entrance is worth 12sgd but it was an open house during the Night Festival. The gallery is located at basement 1 of National Museum. It features wedding dresses used years ago and how they evolve throughout the time. 

It showcases also the gowns wore by Avril Lavigne and Sarah Jessica Parker (on her wedding day in Sex and the City).








WILL: The Wedding Dress Exhibition runs until 31st of October. We are so lucky to this gallery of wedding gowns fro free. That was because the National Museum of Singapore held an Open House last Night Festival.
      Here we saw many designs from different countries, from different culture with different climates and famous dressed from blockbuster Holly wood movie. There also a video that shows the royal weddings. They also have giving some guided tour for free from English, Mandarin and Japanese.
      When you are planning walking in the aisle in the near future, this exhibit will help you to design your own wedding gown.

Night Safari Singapore


ABBEY: I thought I won't see that much creatures at the Night Safari. With my eyes not in 20/20, sight is very difficult. But I enjoyed my time there. A shuttle from Mandarin Oriental hotel picked us up; fare is 4.5 for adult and 2sgd for kids. We reached the zoo at 6:45pm. Admission is 30sgd(adult) and 21(kids). This includes tram rides also.  Two shows were presented; fire dance and Creatures of the night. We saw otters, wolves, sugar gliders, lion, giraffe, elephants, and other nocturnal animals. We had our snack at ZBar. We got hotdogs and soda. Restaurant, hawkers, souvenir shops are there as well. The zoo helps to educate people to care and preserve wild life. Flash photography for the animal is prohibited. As the host said "If you're not familiar on how not to use the camera flash, better not use the camera" :)






WILL: Night Safari!!! I am very hesitant to see this attraction. Why? Creepy and I am little bit worried for our security. But my in-laws and my sis arrived here and this is a must-see for tourist, now, its either stay at home or go with them. I chose the latter. Hehe. 
     We hop on to one of the shuttles from Mandarin Oriental at around 530pm for 4.50S$ one way then bought a ticket at the same bus and discounted a $1 for each ticket. 
     Arrived at the park, we wait for fire dance at entrance 7pm then watched the 730pm show at amphitheater. The rest of the night from 8pm to 10pm was spent in foot trails and tram rides. 
     For me, I enjoyed more the tram rides than foot trail. Why? Takot ako. Maglakad in that darkness, baka may bigla lumabas na butiki. But in our whole journey wala naman nagpakita. 
     Love it! Congratulations to Night Safari. Worth visiting!
