Singapore Discovered: M.I.N.T


watcha looking at dude?

cute little thingy right? finally! i can put a checklist to one of the places that i wanted to go in Singapore!
mint, musuem of toys. well, mint stands for most interesting smth smth but i forgot! 
it's a cool place to go! 
wondering where to go for the holidays, put it in your agenda. Quite eye-opening! love the toys featured there. u will have some surprises over there.
admission fee: adult-$10 (this dec got 25% discount!), child 2 to 12-$5, below 2-FREE, senior citizen-$5
there's package price too! can check their webbie!
opening hours: 930am to 630am


guess where i took this? THE LIFT! cool!!!


oh yeah! no flash photography!
this will result in the paint of some old toys to drop off. u know this goes back to the sciences.
no further explanation!
 



insides of the museum.. it's a 5 storey building. takes abt an hour or lesser to finish touring, quite small. more than an hour for cam-whorers and maybe the whole day for toy lovers! 




bashful!

love the architecture. you know this building is designed by some famous architect!



boy says he always see this face when he was small. a must take pic. i think we got generation gap! hurhur..

this is what i call my childhood memories! i rmb i had one of the look-a-like as a toy!! so cutie right!

this is everybody's childhood games. i think they leave out rubber bands. i rmb how i take the rubber bands and twine it together to play zeropoint! hee...

i love this door.. "this way to childhood favourites" it's like making u gg back to the past!


same monkeys but different country.. can u imagine it? it is a hit k! :)


we know this man! hee..

some posters!




these are all old posters! real somemore. it's so nostalgic!


toys. like many of the things we see today are created for many purposes. social, political and economical factors plays a part too. this is one great example. And yeap.. it is a hit too!

Our new T3

yeap. tho still devastating.
but would like to talk about our T3 that i have just visited last weekend.

For your info, if u would want to tour t3
better do it before the 9th.
as they will be closed and reopened on Jan
for their official operation. 

well..
intro to u..
the ongoing hot topic of singapore TERMINAL 3.
(p.s i am realli proud of it k)

okie..
so what's good abt T3.
i am not boasting.
u go there.
u have to hold yr jaws.
it is as big as 64 soccer fields.
it has this special detector to control the lights in the airport.
they have these weird looking aircon which makes me n boi think so hard what it does..
it has such a magnificent architecture that stuns you.
at the end of the day.
u will came to realise.. 
SIA is damn so rich!
do u know..
tt big darn airport at changi is built for FATSO???? (airbus 380)
hurhur..
oh well..
just enjoy these pictures if u dun plan to go and tour the whole place..

3 choices:
Admission fee: FREE
u take train to changi.
alight and tadah.. u are there!
*of course there's this catch.*
u can only tour the main halls of the airport.

Admission fee: 1 bucks.
free and easy tour.
TOUR THE WHOLE AIRPORT
wheet.
arrival gate, departure gate..
when can u get to do this??
in T2? yeah.. when u pay for a air tics..
u get to go inside lor..
and that 1 buck is to give charity..
great right!!

Admission fee: 3 bucks.
tour everywhere and there's a tour guide.
detailed explanation given..
so it all depends on you..

However,
they are still heavily constructing the whole place. some are off limits.
however,
those that are opened are good enough.
good enough for youe eyes and mind to feast on.
and yr legs to walk before it crushed on u..
it is so damn big!!!!


hurhur.. the tickets. i ish excited when i know we can tour the INSIDES of an airport


the special roof


explanation given of the roof


see the holes at the white pillars there with an 8?? yeah.. the aircon is coming out from that holes. but it is cleber in a sense.. the roof makes no room for the aircon to come out. 
cant seem to grasp why is it design in this way. it totally dun fits the bill of being a greenery airport
*tips: all the trees n plants u see there are all real k*
I seriously feel that it has to be smth to do with feng shui. *shrugs*


hurhur.. departure hall


the runway.. am lucky to catch many planes testdrving at tt time..
saw an sia plane..
and tot it was fatso.
but yeah.
when it landed..
i knew it was not.
tho tt plane is big.
FATSO is bigger..
i want to sit on that plane!!!
hurhur..


interior of departure.. cool right..


we are tired.. so we rest our feets.
u know.. the new T3..
gives me a feeling of the airport at US n sweden..


do u feel tt it got an "old" feel


tadah.. this is what u see when u arrive at singapore!


even the place where u take your luggage is beautified with water fall and plants.


this is what we could see when we are walking arnd at T3 treetop (open to public)
where u could have lunch there.
inside is the departure hall.. cool right
in the middle.. is the fullerton spa to pamper customers.. -.-"


yeah..
being a well-known international airport. 
what's not to give it a complete look with a luxurious hotel built right right next to it?
yeah..
crowne hotel is currently under construction..
it will be the transit hotel/hotel for guests coming to singapore..
GOD..

makes me so wanted to work in the airport!
hurhur
