Hello everyone!
It has been 6 weeks since my holidays started and today is my last day of holidays. Oh gosh, my school's gonna start and it will be like 4 or 5 months before the whole semester ends. THIS IS MY LAST SEMESTER!! YIPPEEEE AND I WILL BE OFF FOR MY ITP!
Alright but anyway, went to the titanic exhibition with sandra yesterday. It was such an eye opener seriously. Okay and it was actually our first visit to mbs, yes i know we are so noob. We are singaporeans yet acting like tourists there, so amazed by everything we saw. Especially the sampan ride lol.
Okay but mbs is beautiful. Then we made our way to the artscience museum, luckily we went early and there's not too many people. By the time we come out of the museum, there's a super long queue at the entrance, people are all waiting to go in. But i was really so amazed inside the exhibition, especially when i saw those real artefacts and items. Imagine those postcard/notes/itinerary/jewelleries/tablewares that has been in the water for about 80 or 90 years. Seriously, especially those items made of paper, some of them were still in good condition, not torn, the words are still readable. And when i saw the iceberg, put my hands on it, it was so damn cold. Couldn't imagine how those people felt, when they were in the freezing water. The exhibition is definitely worth the money, i think it was really good, especially the top deck, the way they decorated it really makes you feel like you are at the deck staring out at the many stars in the dark sky. Really beautiful :)
Oh and at the end, there's all the names of the passengers, and u can compare it with your boarding pass, also with a passengers' name. And both of names survived the disaster! So for those who haven't been there, i really urged you to go. I mean its definitely worth the money, and its such a rare opportunity since this is the 100th year anniversary. And by the way, yesterday when we both went, it was 14th april, exactly the same date when the ship hit the iceberg and sank. We didn't intentionally went on that day, but it was such a coincidence. But sadly no pictures were allowed in there, really wants to keep a picture as a memory but couldnt. But felt this tinge of sadness when walking through the exhibition, its just like you are taking a walk through the titanic. Sigh i really hope they can find a way to get the wreck of the ship up from the bed of the ocean. I've read that its really difficult, i guess almost impossible due to the pressure of the water. But still hope there's a way for it, because experts said that about 40-90 years from now, titanic would be gone. But if the wreck of the ship can be preserve, titanic will remain as a memory for all of us. Okay i still seemed so excited, yes i really am. I dont know why, but i'm really so interested in the titanic. If I'm not wrong, this was the first exhibition i went to, and its also the first exhibition that i actually wanted to go, coz all along, i always thought of exhibitions to be really boring.
Alright, and some pictures for the day! :D
This is my boarding pass!
And look at us being like tourists, taking pictures all around mbs.
And anyway, i think we were so stupid. The ticket we bought for the titanic exhibition actually entitles us to the skypark, the sampan ride and the skating rink. It was stated behind the ticket, in super small words. But we didnt read it. And initially both of us were so excited about the sampan ride but we didnt want to waste money on it. I only realized it when i reached home which was such a waste.
Okay end of the exhibition. I'm starting school tomorrow and i'm in a super sian mood now. For the past one and a half months, i've been nua-ing at home watching running man, or working, or hanging out with friends. I would say this is considered to be a well-spent holiday for me, in the sense that i didnt waste any day. My previous holidays would be spent at home, doing nothing, sleeping maybe? But this time, at least i spent my time watching running man, haha bringing some laughter into my house. And at least i've taken up a few jobs and earned some money, i spent a little bit of my money and managed to save the rest up. I guess i've taken enough break, but i just dread returning back to school. I can already sense the stress i'm gonna have at the thought of those projects pilling right infront of me. And i dont know how this semester's groupings gonna turn out. Hopefully for last sem everything ends off well please. Really, i really hope to enjoy my last sem in sp. I mean not totally having fun and slacking through all the way, but at least, i hope i don't get so stress up with life and screw up my so called "peaceful" life now. There's never really have been this sem when i think my life is so "peaceful" without any troubles. My first sem in poly was quite screw up when i wasnt on good terms with my classmates, even though i had fun in gusto. Second sem was a little better, but my relationship with the rest of the class was still considered bad. Second year first sem was really stressful, and that's the point of time when my life started crashing down. And as i begin my second sem in year 2, i was kinda at the lowest point when the many problems in my life, but it got a little better when 2012 started. And now, i consider it to be the "peaceful" period and i hope the last sem remains this way. No doubt its gonna be a really stressful sem because its the third year, but i hope this stress doesnt change anything.
Alright what a naggy post i know, just blogging all my thoughts out. Yeap and thats all i want to say, goodbye! :D Oh and to everyone who's starting school tomorrow, good luck and enjoy your last day of holiday!
