Madame Tussauds (Singapore).

Yay finally an adventure post and finally putting my camera to good use!! Gotta say that I'm in love with my camera cus it takes awesome pictures. Not a photography anal kind so I think the quality of the pictures is still acceptable to me! Took a total of 230 pictures just this trip but I'm just gonna post the ones that I am satisfied with!

Off day on a Monday so I decided to be a tourist for a day with the Mumma. Mum is a Singaporean tourist btw, she holds a Singapore IC and passport but is unaware of the happenings and the things available here. Since I like to go to local tourist attractions, and also cus I have never been to Madame Tussauds before, I spent my off day there with Mum!

Kinda excited cus I love meeting famous people. But when I reached there the boat ride was under maintenance so mehhhh. And I think I was kinda rude to some tourists who was taking their own sweet time or cutting into my pictures (what they are best at doing) so serve you right because I don't feel sorry for you at all.

Tickets are priced at $30 for adults and $35 if you add on the Images of Singapore tour. Made the wrong choice to go for the IOS tour cus I already went there while I was still working at Sentosa.

Madame Tussauds is actually categorised!  The first station, we meet all the historical people like Yusof Bin Ishak etc. but I didn't really take any nice pictures there so no pictures. Then we meet our famous political leaders.

(All captions are purely for fun so please don't hit me if you are a fan of them.)

Hen sweet de couple. Sorry I photobomb them.

"Wait ah wait I very busy don't disturb me first".

With my boss. I wanted to take a selfie with him but guess what, I am too short. He cannot bend down also.

"Eh Mr Goh Mr Goh, wait first let me talk finish first"

Obama waiting for his turn while I finish my speech.

Anyway, please excuse me while I live in my own world. Gotta say that I am actually very impressed by how detailed the wax figures were!! Like every freckle, every wrinkle and every vein is there. 

Moving on we meet the sportsmen and sportswomen! 

Super excited cus she's my 女神 (goddess)!! Bet you guys didn't know I got this hidden obsession for table tennis right. Did I mention that I saw her the other day at work? She looks cuter irl. This one she got put falsies so not as natural as her.

After that a lot of people hogging the Yao Ming area so I went back to take a few more pictures with my friend here. 

Then we move on and met the TV stars! There's Zoe Tay, Huang Wenyong, Gurmit Singh but apparently none of the pictures I took are nice.

Then very randomly (because she's not local) there's Oprah Winfrey.

After that I realised this pose more suitable with Bruce Lee rather than Muhammad Ali. So I pose again hahaha.

Last station was all the famous movie stars! Saw my fave western celebrity Johnny Depp aka Captain Jack Sparrow aka Willy Wonka aka Edward Scissorhands aka Barnabas Collins aka The Mad Hatter. (wtf for this I went to google his roles then I realise I haven't watched a lot of his movies)

Sorry Angelina borrow your date for a while. (you didn't have to stick your leg into my picture)

Lastly, I don't really know who is Nicole Kidman la I am not kidding you. But I look nice in this picture so wtv.

Was a little happy that I actually finished the museum cus I was a little tired getting partially star strucked.

So yup, my day went like that. Overall my experience there was not a bad one. But it depends on yourself because I love meeting famous people! I would one day love to visit the other museums especially the ones with Mr Kim there. Swear I will spend an hour there taking a picture with his figure lolol. So far I can only google and see his wax figure.

But I think look more like Wu Zhun instead of Kim leh?!?! Who agree with me please raise your hands.

Mirror selfie cus mirror.

Selfie with Mum and she actually thinks this "styling my hair" pose is very nice. Lol my mom very in one she got a jellyfish haircut just in case you cannot see. But I prefer my hairstyle to be a normal one.

Thanks for reading this adventure with me. Gonna go on more adventures next time x.

FEB

Hey February!!

January has been really really bad for me. Which also means it's a bad start of the year. Although I have met really positive people in my life who had thought me to be really positive about my view towards things, sometimes when I sit down and really think about my life and how things are going, I just want to kill myself. Because there are so many things that ain't going my way no matter how hard I try to achieve it. Not that I want to be pessimistic, but the things that are actually happening right now makes me a pessimist. Like everytime I try to be positive about things, they turn out undesirable. See?! It's not me!! 

So anyway today I wana blog about my dreams, so that when I have achieved it, I look back and see how far I have actually gone. 

Anyone who knows me will know that I've been dancing since 10, quit at 12, went back at 13 for my four years in secondary school. After my Os, because of the lack of opportunities, I stopped. Recently (okay actually half a year + a month ago), I went back to take classes again. Not professional ones because my time doesn't allow me to. And then I've been really into it. I'm not very good at it, maybe out of 10 people, I'm rank the second..... from the bottom. Haha seriously right after so many years.. But hey I'm willing to learn, and I'm willing to take any hardship. Since many years ago, I've already decided that I want to make performing arts my life and my career, but does life allow me to? No. Because taking up professional dance classes is really costly. But am I going to give up on my dreams? No. These days, I've became even more determined to make it part of my life. 

My family and some friends always tell me, "being a performer, you have a shelf life, once you expire, you have no experience in anything except performing, then who is going to hire you?" & also things like "you can take it as a leisure thing, just not a lifetime thing", And all the shit comments that nobody really wants to hear. I admit it's true but we only live once. If this once I do not accomplish what I want to accomplish, when can I accomplish it? The other day I came across this picture.

It's captioned, "Sometimes it's people who love you the most that try to kill your dreams". HOW TRUE IS THAT. 

Because I'm not from a well to do family, because I don't have a father, that's why no one is willing to support me financially to help me achieve my dreams to be in the performing arts field. So I depend on myself. Sometimes I spend all my savings to take up classes and all, till at the end of the day, I don't have enough money for a simple lunch at a hawker centre. When I tell my family, "oh I don't have money for lunch already", they will tell me "you keep going shopping and shopping, of course always no money". 

Comments like this always make me think through and think through again if I really want to be in the PA field. Sometimes I really want to give up and then get a 9-5 job. Five days a week, get to the office, stare at the computer, go home, have dinner and sleep. One day gone. And then we have to do it for the rest of our lives. How boring will life be. And of course, I tell them about how boring life could get if I have a 9-5 job. Then they'll go, "you want to be bored or you want to live with not enough money?" I'll tell you that I do not want to be bored because office jobs are totally not what I can do. Because none of my family members are from PA, they totally do not understand at all how it is to be in love with PA. When I try to explain to them, they'll be like "don't be naive lah, how long can you stay in this?" 

Also when in sec sch when people we were all busy aiming to go to the courses we want, I was very fickle minded. One moment I wanted to aim for accountancy, then the next moment when I was in the F1-in-schools team I wanted to get into engineering (wtf can u believe it). But it has always been dance that I have been wanting to aim for. But in the end I decided to get into a normal course that was "usable" because I thought I could take up dance outside. How wrong I was. Nobody is willing to support me now. 

Been really stressed about this issue for quite some time already especially when I gotta take out almost half of my salary every month to pay for the housing loan which is not even under my name wtf. I'm the most disadvantaged one in this situation but let's not talk about this. But the more I think about it, the more determined I am to go achieve my dreams no matter how hard it can get. I heard this phrase from my dance instructor in secondary school "In my career, I rather do what I like and go to work happily everyday than to drag myself to work everyday, even if the salary is higher" and till today, I remember it, and I will remember it for life because it had a great impact on the way I made my decisions. Since I've been thinking about taking up dance as a lifetime thing for quite a period of time already, I think that it's pretty obvious if it's the right choice for me or not. 

So what I wana say is that, yes, your family is very important and they want to give you the best, but sometimes what they think is the best might not be the best for you. Dont live to keep up to your family's expectations. Do what you think is the best for you. Once you succeed, you will be proud of yourself, and your family will be even prouder of you (maybe embarrassed also because they thought you couldn't do it from the start haha).

Thank you for reading my little rant xxxxxxxxxx.
