Terracotta Warriors Exhibition @ ACM

Glad that we still had a chance to catch a good glimpse of the 10 terracotta figures that were being displayed at the exhibition on its last day!  Another good news was that admission to this special exhibition is free!

I had installed the iPhone App before coming down to the museum.

Labour-Intensive

Some works by Justin Lee.  His work blends Western pop art with traditional Eastern imagery.  Although the terracotta warriors are tomb figures, he added colour to them suggesting that life after death might not be so bad after all!

Personally, I did find this installation a bit eerie....  Haha...

Maidens armed with modern technologies.

Entrance to the main terracotta warriors exhibition....

Many people, including kids are trying out the special iPhone App created for this exhibition.

The General  (Qin Dynasty)

I love this sword with the golden handle, made of iron, gold and turquoise.

Duplicates

Mechandize stall selling works of Justin Lee and other museum collectibles.

After that, we went to Funan DigitaLife Mall for our lunch.

We ordered Ginseng Chicken Double-Boiled Soup for two at food function Soup Master 老火汤.  The day before, hubby had ordered soup from the same franchise stall at Punggol and he said it was good.  Best part, the soup does not contain MSG. 

 Yam Rice

Day Trip to Johor Bahru

We were invited to our friend's baby full month at La Casa (Woodlands).  After a short stay at his place, we decided to drive over to JB again.  Hubby wanted to go Tebrau City to polish his car.  We reached our destination at around 3pm and the traffic was rather smooth.

We saw this restaurant right at the end of the escalator on the 4th level and decided to go in to get some norishing soup.  This place seemed quite popular as it gathered more crowd as compared to the other restaurants.

They also have a shopspace next to the restaurant selling all those Chinese health products.

We both ordered a small pot of chicken soup each.

After our meal, we bought 3 packets of the ingredients used to make soup, including one packet for Bak Kut
Teh from their shop

After some shopping, we also stayed on at Tebrau City for our dinner as our car was not ready yet.  I guess their business was too good.  It took more than 3 hours to polish the car.  We had our dinner at this "Food and Tea" Hong Kong Cafe.  As I was not really hungry yet, I actually ordered Nissin Noodle!  Something that I would not order in S'pore!

Hubby ordered Seafood Baked Rice.

We bought 2 boxes of mooncakes at the mooncake fair just outside Jusco at the basement.  We bought this brand of mooncakes last year too.

4 different flavours! =)

Off to Bugis on New Year Day... to get iPhone 4

 While hubby was queueing at M1, I went to get some vanilla cream puffs from Beard Papa Sweets.

 Japanese Sweets Buffet... I have not tried this yet, not too sure whether it is good.  I had received an invitation from them for food tasting but too bad my schedule didn't allow me to attend.

 Our dinner at "The Soup Spoon" after getting my new iPhone!  :D

Clam Chowder Soup

 Mushroom Soup

 Total cost about $16 for the 2 large bowls of soup.

At Bugis Street, we came across something special...

Dragon Ball Milk Tea

Every different coloured pearl has a different flavour such as pumpkin, yam, apple etc.  We found it interesting and ordered the dragon ball milk tea ($2.50).

 The pearls were of different colours but to me, they seemed to taste all the same in this milk tea.
