Back-of-House Tour @ Former Supreme Court with MX

 

that's mx in the background being interviewed for Channel 8 : 狮城 6点半 on "May I Have a Seat?" initiative that officially started in March 2021...

 

Back at National Gallery for the Back-of-House Tour... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!! 



in the detained cell - awaiting trial... 



stairways to courtroom 3... 😖😖😖



trapped door will be let down & locked after the accused were led into and shackled onto the metal pole in the dock



where the judge used to sit


*Former Supreme Court 1 is now National Gallery 1




the table in chamber where the Chief Justice has discussions with the lawyers ... so of high significance that it was transported to Capella, in Sentosa, from National Gallery, in City Hall, for the North Korea United States Singapore Summit in 2018... 😱😱😱






up to the viewing gallery to listen to two famous trials in Singapore; The case of Sunny Ang & The case of the Curry Murder





The tour was supposed to be of 75 minutes but our docent Mr Loke had so much knowledge and so many stories to share that our tour was 95 minutes... he's very humorous which made the tour very engaging... 👍👍👍 



tea break @ Tim Ho Wan then used someone's money to get myself a luxury bag from Charles & Keith... 😍😍😍

Another happy weekend...

Art date with MX @ SAM during SAW

very interesting art works @ this year's SAW, such a pity that it's Singapore Art Week & not Singapore Art Month... there's so much to see, here there everywhere... two weekends to experience all was impossible and too much for mx's & my poor feet... 


sharing some of those which intrigued me lots and / or confusing for my little art brain... 😂😂😂

 

use of unconventional items - Gums & Pills Blister Packs and Coffee Sachets


reminds me of the conversation with my art lecturer;

< i can also make this >

< but you DIDN'T >


< showing you the front of the artwork for the first time, I'd love to hear your thoughts? >

WHAT?!?!?!?! 😕😕😕



i agree... 


i thought this was ONE art installation - compare & contrast past & now kind of artwork... but NO... they are two separate artworks...

 right is a re-assemblage of the artist's former home while the left was set up by another artist for readers to sit and read the book "Sengkang Snooper: The Riddle of the Coral Isle

WHAT?!?!?!   WHY?!?!?!😕😕😕


two of my favourites




like that also can!!! 












Craft time ...

our pretty chiming creatures... mx made a ballerina while mine is Princess Snow Whitey-Pink... 😍😍😍

interesting way of popping up the label to bring about dimension... 



mindful wearing - How to you put on a t-shirt? 

head first? hand first? which hand?


Science of the Secondary - each book is on ONE MINDFUL activity !!!
