museum, museum

one day, alvin and i decided to go to the museum after work. we sped down in a cab (they close at 8pm) and we were initially confused about which museum we wanted but then we made it! (i'm still not too sure which one we went to. hehe.)

the sudden urge came about when alvin told me that his parents' wedding photos were up for display because they had a traditional Peranakan wedding.

so here begins our trip to the museum:

this was the reason why i love my green dress so much. i so adore poofy skirts. :)



beauty tips in the 70s; how vintage!! alvin lost me for a moment while i went around starry-eyed.





retro curlers!! i remember those!



circles @_@



listening to old records



and jiving to them!



that is one weird pose:



next we went to materials and how they were made!







once we stepped out of the room (still in search of the elusive photos), we saw these lantern-chandeliers. pretty! :)



we followed a staircase to the upper floors... then suddenly we exited the musuem already. and gasp! gigantic dried fruit! not sure if it's capsicum? chili padi? a cherry? but ok. picture time. :D





that sign is huge.



on the way back in, we passed by some huge vents!



on with the search. WHERE ARE THE PHOTOS??! which gallery??

here?



um, here?



let's try downstairs.





ooh the lanterns are swinging... really... hypnotically... @_@



okok, focus!





OMG ALVIN IT'S HERE!!!!!!









we both had quite a good time going through all that history of wedding photos. :)
