My World Tuesday - National Museum

I was on my way to the Peranakan Museum when I passed by the Singapore National Museum. Saw these scultpures that were sitting infront of the museum.

The sculptures were the works of Taiwanese artist Ju Ming. It was done in 1986. You can read or view more of his works in his official website


These displays infront of the museum looked like trumpets. The Domescape was by Butterpaper Designs, BusyBody and Lin Zihao (Singapore). I guess it worked like a telescope to view the museum.

It was part of the display for the June School holidays. You can read more about it in here.


The museum was undergoing some painting works when I was there. You can view more about the Singapore National Museum in my earlier posts.

Tanjong Pagar Railway Station - Huge Tree

Saw this huge tree at the car park beside the Tanjong Pagar Train Station. It had many branches that seems to be rooted to the ground. Look very unique and I guess be a very old tree. I hope they wont chop down this tree.

Tanjong Pagar Railway Station - Arches

My last post on the railway station. Spotted many arches in and around the station.







The designs on the arches are beautiful but no worry all these will be preserved and wont be demolished.

Skywatch Friday - Tanjong Pagar Railway Station - Train

There are many people on the train platform but majority are just shutterbugs to record a piece of history before the train relocated to Woodlands.


I was lucky to take a photo of the 1 pm train that was leaving towards Malaysia.

Close Up Shots of the railway tracks.

I guess all these tracks will be dismantled and recycled or sold as scraps.



A short video of the train leaving the station towards Malaysia.

Tanjong Pagar Railway Station - Food Stalls

Just beside the arrival platform in the train station are many food stalls. They sold halal malay food. I love taking malay food.


I have no idea what will happen to these stalls after the train station is relocated to woodlands. The prices are very reasonable.




We thought the stalls are closed on Sunday so we had our lunch already before heading to the station, a great mistake. My goodness I had to miss the nasi padang. Anyway, I cant resist eating the chapati. It is something like a flat bread. Very yummy when eaten with curry.




Just have to turn the chapati over to show the burned part.


Lots of people at the station platform, some eating and some taking photos of the station. One thing for sure these people are not there taking the train.


Will post the trains and railway tracks in skywatch tomorrow.
