Oh that Rain that Rain at the Garden Party

My second full day in Singapore. The day before Christmas Eve and mom and I spent the day from mall to mall due to a down pour. A mall is a mall is a mall is a mall. Malls: they all start to blur together, there are very few distinguishing factors so this post is a bit scant. The bottom picture is the beginning of our day and the top picture is the end.
I included another bathroom because they are so beautiful here! Halls of mirrors on the walls in the malls.
The "naughty" picture was a sex toy window display which I thought was unusual given Singapore's reputation for be very conservative. I didn't get a good shot of the toys but they were very well made.


While mom and I were waiting for the bus I noticed someone left a handkerchief on the bench at the stop. Then when we got on the bus the first thing I saw was a woman holding a handkerchief over her mouth. It explained everything.

Impressions of the Impressionists

Hello! I don't really understand the technical aspects of blogging so you will have to excuse the layout of this blog(Marisa! I may need to ask you a few questions). Yesterday we went to a show at the National Museum of Singapore. There was an impressionist show from the Musee d'Orsay in Paris. I've included a few of my favorite pieces of my favorite pieces. But my very favorite pictures were in this scribbling room off the main show where children had drawn pictures of aspects of the show that stood out to them. The picture of the train that says 'daddy' on it is my favorite piece in any room.
This is a blurry picture of a girl dressed exactly like a Degas ballerina looking at a picture of Degas ballerinas. The picture came out blurry which was actually quite fitting.





There is mom pulling a paper towel out of the mirror in the bathroom at the museum. A good bathroom is hard to find anywhere, but I always think they are the most beautiful. In this one the soap and paper towels all came out of the mirror and the garbage was a hole next to the sinks.




Another of my favorite pieces in the show was the glowing green exit signs above black velvet curtains. They were so beautiful and my phone does a crappy job of capturing this.




I noticed that there were lots of pictures of the impressionist wives on their death beds. Besides that there were two women artists in the show. Deeply irritating but not surprising. More soon! (also I'm going to try and find another word for favorite so I don't use it more than 10 times in a post) Hearts, Marts
