Peranakan Museum

This morning, er gu gu called & asked if we wanna follow her to the museum. Mummy asked what kind of exhibition & er gu replied something abt hw flowers can glowed if we walked past or hw water can flowed if there is some movement, something like that. So Mummy said ok.

We went down to the Singapore Arts Museum but there were no such exhibition going on leh. Then we realised - aiya, its starting only on the 14 May onwards; we came too early. So we went to the Peranakan Museum instead.

Outside SAM @ 8Q, next to Hotel Royal @ Queens, along Queen Street.
