‘A Night At The Museum’

I hardly pop by the National Museum but the museum had a night festival going on and they displayed this amazing array of lights, so i was pretty stoked to have soaked it all up. This might very well be the coolest thing that has happened in Singapore since Coldplay played here!

That is the museum from across the road, it’s never lit up this fancy before. So i was jaw-to-the-floor everytime a different colour came on.

This design was my favourite, our favourites (my bf & good friend, Caili too). We had waffles at a nearby cafe after and when we saw this from afar, holymoles, it looked like someone ‘up there’ was drawing with his laser beam or something! It was mesmerising, i really wonder whose idea/work it is, estupendo!

Some of the other spectacular displays and some closeups of the details. We look like we’re in the polar bear enclosure in the last picture, don’t we?

This was what i wore;

Top: Vintage from ebay
Shorts: Uniqlo
Bag: Hellosparrow

I also got to meet the very lovely tweefeet at The Beatnik Picnic. She was oh-so-wise to wear non-leather gladiators so her footwear don’t get soiled by mud! (Note to self)

    Ha-ha, the end is my favorite part of the vid as well! I want to say though I don’t usually run so terribly–it was in wedges and on a dirt path!
