National Museum of Singapore

This is my 2nd post today, we're still on the last day of the year. Nothing much to do until fireworks at midnight, so I have time to blog. I am guessing I may even have more time for a 3rd or 4th story later!

So.., yes this is THE National Museum of Singapore, that I visited for a meeting this morning..,
front street view of National Museum of Singapore
Meeting at the museum? Yes and No! The 'no' means I did not have business discussions with anyone while touring the museum. The 'yes' is because my meeting was at a restaurant in this building. There is such a thing here yes, sosy pa! That's even my next blog entry, nagpaka-sosy tayo. So, abangan yan!

This is not a mural nor a painting. It's a projection screen na pagka-lapad-lapad. Ibang klase, di ba?

That lens-like circle on the map, in front of the two visitors.., gumagalaw at namamasyal yan! It moves around the map magnifying the areas it passes along. Like when you use a real lens on a printed map!

Oops, I won't regale you with what I saw or experienced at this wonderfully big museum, lest you lose interest going there. All I can say is: if you visited a year ago, be back and you won't be disappointed.

There are many new things to be amazed of and learn from in this museum. Well, if you haven't visited yet, go and find out. You will learn many things from the old 19kupungkupong to the hi-tech of today!

Have you heard about "The Story of the Forest"? Ah, a hi-tech walk, telling a heartwarming story..,

I won't tell you details, but mapapa-nganga ka! They even have an app you can use only while in there!

Don't hesitate to tell me if you visited the National Museum of Singapore, let's compare experiences! Later (when I'm home) I'll post some of the pictures and video clips I took while touring this museum.

Meanwhile, let's go to the restaurant I was (here) telling you about! Yung meeting ko!

In my next story.

Trapped In Oras, Eastern Samar

Image
Oras is a pacific-facing town up the northern portion of Eastern Samar. This town's name is not pronounced like the Tagalog word for time. No, not like that! It is [o'ras] where the stress is in the second syllable. The speed and tone is like how you say the English words "alight", "chorale", "amass" or "awash". Okay, that's good enough, I know you got it! Uu da, oke na da it! Asya it! Yesterday, I was in the area checking on some work-related matters. Stayed overnight in this town as I haven't yet heard if accommodation facilities are available in San Policarpo or Arteche (these are the 3 northern-most towns of Eastern Samar). This morning, I was on my way to other nearby places, but.. I got trapped (happily) by a parade! That long white bridge behind them is the only way out south... A youngish set of town officials, I must say. Oh, the girl in the middle is not a muse. She is THE Mayor! But by the looks of it, she migh...

Hinatuan, A Quick Visit

Image
Happy (and thankful) to have seen the center of this town, even if I did not at all dream of being in the place yet! I only wanted to see Tinuy-an Falls and Enchanted River which I thought were both in Bislig ! Only to find out that Enchanted River is even farther away than Hinatuan, from Bislig or Tinuy-an Falls! This place is out of the way if you come from anywhere in Bislig to the Enchanted River or vice-versa! So, how did I find myself here? Nag-detour? Well, I would like to think of this as some kind of a gift! An addition to my itinerary (at no extra cost), for lack of anything else to do and/or any place else to see! Why? Because we were moving too fast from place to place, because: I did not stay long at Tinuy-an Falls or Enchanted River.., because: there were just too many visitors that I did not enjoy it any longer! Whose fault? Mine! Lesson learned: DO NOT VISIT SURIGAO DEL SUR ON A HOLY WEEK! So.., because we were already done with Tinuy-an Falls and Enchanted Ri...

THE BOULEVARD, Surigao City

Image
Virtually everyone in Surigao City is related to this boulevard directly or indirectly! It's such a big thing , they even have a Surigao City Boulevard Development Program and a Surigao City Development Authority . I'm not joking. Those are for real. As in! Involved in it are not only their local politicians but also the chambers of commerce. What is it anyway? Foremost it's a 1.8 kilometer stretch of a highway along the seafront. The concrete pavement tells me it is still new. That is it! Walang basagan ng trip! It is an emulation (kumbaga sa Tagalog pa: gaya-gaya ) of Roxas Boulevard in Manila, or pwede rin Dumaguete’s Rizal Boulevard - and many other seafront boulevards. Aside from being a “park” for the residents, it is supposed to be an attraction in the city, showcasing whatever bla-blah-blah to attract tourists from everywhere on earth. While I was inclined to raise my eyebrows, it did attract me. I was a tourist, right?! So okay, without a speck of d...
