Birthday this year was the most celebrated birthday in my entire life. Haha. Maybe it’s the Olympic or maybe it’s because of National Day, everyone is in the celebration mood.

Round 1: A homely family dinner on 8th August
A family dinner made up of authentic homemade chili crab, curry and bee hoon served with the oh-not-so-famous roast duck from the stall below my place. A joyous and cozy event.

At times it’s nice to just have a simple meal at home than to squeeze with the bustling and grouchy crowd out there.

Round 2a: A day out at the National Museum on 9th August
We got caught up with the fanfare National Day celebration in front of the museum that we almost forgot what we were here for. Free popcorns and balloons were not on our agenda but who would resist them?!

I love the architecture of the museum. It’s very dreamy and colonial. It’s definitely an affordable way of spending a lovely weekend afternoon with your loved ones. Couples and friends out there! A date in Singapore is not just about malls and movies.

Note: Go on a romantic date at the National Museum! You’ll be delighted to know that from now till 23 April 2009, NUS students get to enter for FREE!

I love their Living Galleries! It varies from the fashion and films in the sixties to the roadside food stalls from the seventies. You may even notice that with little tweaks here and reworks there, these clothing may just fit the look in Vogue or some other fashion magazines.
