Exploring Singapore: National Gallery Singapore

26 December 2017 in ARTS & CULTURE, EXPLORE, SINGAPORE

Hello and I hope everything is going well! Can you believe it’s December already?! 2017 has been quite a whirlwind for me, but it’s also been a pretty amazing year!

I just came back from a short trip back to my favourite city Hong Kong (some updates here on my Instagram, while I slowly play catch up here on this blog), where I had an absolutely fantastic time! It was so packed full of activities, and I wouldn’t have it any other way, because nothing could be more Hong Kong.

For now, it’s back to life in Singapore, and for this post, I wanted to share Singapore’s newest museum, which is such a grand and beautiful space, it’s worth visiting just for the building itself haha! Joking aside, it’s actually an art museum specialising in Southeast Asian art (more art related posts from NGS on my sister’s blog here) and housed in two historic buildings featuring British colonial architecture with a mix of newly designed and built architecture.

Before it was opened as a museum in late 2015, these buildings were the former Supreme Court Building and City Hall, housing courtrooms and governmental offices. I’m glad that now I get a chance to wander around the space, and thanks to my sister, I’ve already been there many times!

Today marks my 5th year anniversary of moving back Today marks my 5th year anniversary of moving back to Singapore! 💫 26 June 2017, I said goodbye to Hong Kong and still to this day, miss aspects of my life there. But Singapore has been great for me and is home now. 😊

5 years back in SG has let me start another new chapter and offered me plenty of new experiences and challenges. I've been through successes, failures and standstills. It hasn't been easy, that's for sure, but I'm happy to share that at this 5 year mark, I'm finally in a contented, balanced and happy place. 😊 It definitely took work, trial and error and heaps of God's blessings, but I'm here. 🌻

HK, you're always a special place to me, so hopefully, I'll get to see you again soon. 💖
🍀 February 2022 🌻 *Feb was such a full month 🍀 February 2022 🌻
*Feb was such a full month! It was also a month that marked the closing of one chapter and the beginning of another. 😊 Some of my favourite moments:
- Lovely drawings at @natmuseum_sg and wanting to buy so many of the related merch from the museum shop (I didn't!)
- Lovely lunches/dinners + great people & conversations. Incredibly grateful for the people in my life. 🌟
- The cutest exhibition featuring @angkukuehgirl
- Visiting a very nostalgic restaurant @oldschooldelights - brings back all my childhood memories!
- Pink skies 💗
- Attended a tour of the 'Mapping the World' exhibition at @nlb.singapore - fascinating and insightful! 

Other moments that couldn't fit in here: my first VR experience at the ArtScience Museum, shopping and gifts and more new books! 😄 Ending the month with a thankful heart.
