Sentosa Flower Festival 2012

ABBEY: The festival ran from 22nd up to 29th of January at Sentosa. After office we went on the island. It lightly rained on that day but we still managed to enjoy the exhibit. The flower displays were so beautiful that people flocked at the site to take pictures. From my view that day the crowd outnumbered the flowers.
There's so many visitors that you have to wait for 30 minutes for Sentosa Express at Vivo City mall. In each station the queue is very long. We have to walk the entire way to the festival back and forth. Special thanks to the marshals and volunteers for organising the event. No incident happened on our day of visit.
Flowers in the shape of hearts, dragons, big flowers, fish are among the displays. Official photographers will take a snap of you with Sentosa's cameras and yours.










WILL: Yearly, sentosa celebrates the Flower Festival. What can we expect? Flowers!!! A lot of it. :) 
      I really do like flowers but I do not have the green thumb to grow them unlike my husband huhu. 
      Anyways congrats Sentosa! I think almost half of the people here in Singapore went here to see this magnificent floras. :) 
Amazed us more next year and I hope it wont rain. Hehe.

Cupp Keyk

ABBEY:
This costs 2.50php back in Philippines when it was first introduced in the market. I think it costs 6php nowadays. It still has the same taste even the size is comparably smaller and the package design was changed. A cup cake is individually contained in a foil-pack to keep it fresh. They are good partner for my coffee breaks




WILL: Cupp keyk is cheaper version of Philippines to the very well-known cupcakes of the west. 
      For only 6Php each you can linger in to the chocolatety bread and its nutty toppings! This is can be a great team-up with my tea! Love this a lot!

Asian Civilisations Museum

ABBEY:
We went here at their open house last Chinese New Year celebration. At the second floor is the exhibit about the Singapore River; from how the businesses were born and how did it affect the river until it almost died up to its revival. People joined together to make their river clean again and full of life. Another rooms exhibit culture of Malays, Chinese, Muslims and indians. I never knew India is very famous for trading fabrics. Rome liked it as the fabrics were stylish and light. Relics like urns, jars, pieces of jewelry were displayed and some can be touched and be worn for pictures' sake. Nearest MRT are Esplanade and City Hall.


















WILL: Announcement! Open house! We were very astonished how sentosa island was jam packed with people during holidays and museums is a great choice to spend holidays. 
      First of all, i really wanna thank Singapore for creating a museums that is so attractive and so informative. I would really love to go to museums in Philippines but I do not know why, it seems that it is only accessible for field trips and some of them looks like a haunted house from the outside. But don't get me wrong, I have been to GSIS museum where almost of the known paintings done by out kababayan. And the experience there! Marvelous! Hehe. 
      Going back to Asian Civilization Museum. :) I think it has more than ten rooms with different themes. But I an more hooked at Chinese side. I don't know but maybe on my somebody told maybe on my past life I am a chinese that's why I am really curious with their past. 
     ACM can be found just behind the Fullerton Hotel. :) oooops! Do not forget to donate! This kind of projects must go on! Majulah NPB! Majulah Singapura!
