History lesson of long long time ago

Reading about Chin Peng, former communist chief of Malaya during Malaya’s emergency. It brought back memory how Ms. Norani, our History teacher makes us remember our history better by writing these words on the blackboard (yes, blackboard, not whiteboard) on the Children’s Day of 1990:

Happy Children’s Day

Chin Peng

If There’s Seasons 天冷就回来

I am going to watch my first chinese drama/musical in mandarin this week.  Strongly acclaimed If There’s Seasons 天冷就回来will be playing at the Drama Centre.

Something to look forward to after my exams.

Another Wai’s excellent idea of treating myself and she is rewarding me for my hard work by treating me with Japanese food!

Thanks Wai!

The Rucksack Inn – The place to be!

LATEST HOTTEST ACCOMMODATION IN TOWN!

Rucksack Inn re-opened today with an open house at 33B Hong Kong Street (near Clark Quay and Central Mall).  Awesome deco, totally funky and a really affordable place to stay for all visitors to Singapore. Extremely centralized within walking distance of must-visit places in Singapore:-

  • Clark Quay (Comes alive at night) – walk
  • Boat Quay (chill out place where boring office people turn into happening dudes!) – walk
  • Central Mall – walk
  • Liang Court (excellent Japanese supermarket in basement) – walk
  • Funan IT Mall (all your IT needs) – 1 bus stop or walk
  • Fort Canning Park – opposite Funan IT Mall
  • Chinatown (everything oriental) – 3 bus stops or 1 MRT station away
  • Little India (you guess it!  stuff related to India – food, crafts, spices, etc & 24 hours shopping at MUSTAFA CENTRE) – 7 bus stops away
  • Bugis – 3 bus stops
  • Suntec City (Exhibition centre & shopping)
  • Raffles City (Shopping)
  • War Memorial Park
  • Churches with hundred years old history (St. Andrew Cathedral,  Armenian Church, Cathedral of The Good Shepherd)
  • Museums (National Museum, Perankan Museum, Asian Civilizations Museum)
  • Central Business District
  • The Esplanade – Theatres On The Bay
  • The Merlion
  • Etc, etc, etc

The above mentioned places are within walking distance of each other – once you start walking.  But keep in mind that Singapore is a tropical city just a little bit off the south of the equator, so her average temperature is about 31 to 33 degrees Celsius the whole year round.  So, arm yourself with water, comfortable walking shoes, shades, and anything to keep your cool!)

I was at Rucksack Inn for their open house and was SO TEMPTED to book a room/bed!  The place just looks so inviting…A must stay place for every visitor to Singapore.

Psst…did I say that the place is run by 2 awesome gals, Jacqui and Samantha!  What can I say?  Expect only the BEST!

Took some pics with my phone.  So, let the photos speaks for themselves…
