I'm so broke right now and things are just getting worse. I just had a car accident last Thursday. Man. The man was dreaming while he was riding his motorbike. I stopped my car and I wanted to right into the junction. He didn't see it and his motorbike hit my car bumper. Thank God I was calm enough to settle it alone. I didn't cry or whine or whatever. Because it was not my fault after all. I was too tired because I just came back from school. It was 6p.m. I was too tired to argue. I just asked him 'r u alright?' Then I just stood there silently because I was freaking tired to deal with the 'mess'.  He asked me how..I said I don't know calmly. He said it's not his fault. I just remained silent. Well...in the end he agreed to compensate. I was all alone during the accident. His friend passed by and joined to 'talk' to me. Well. I was not afraid. I was too tired only.  

I guessed today was the worst day of it all. I lost my cellphone at Hatyai. I left in the bus. I was so clumsy. Why.I kept on telling myself I should had put my cellphone inside my bag before I slept in the bus. And I just realised it after I left the bus for 6 hours. I didn't check my belongings because I thought it was inside my bag. I hated myself.  

All the photos and all the memories were inside the phone. I couldn't track my phone. It was supposed to be a fun and random short vacation.Now I have to think of ways to fork out money to purchase a new phone. I need to watsapp man..I don't mind if I lost my cellphone. But I have lots of working stuffs stored inside it. Dahla gaji belum masuk. Need to pay rent,eat,internet...gaji hujung April baru masuk. Dah 3 bulan hutang parents... I'm begging you wey!  

This exhibition takes visitors on a sensory journey into the many possibilities that could transform the way Singaporeans work, live, learn, and care.

The journeys began with The Thread of Us, The Future Express, Theatre of Generations, Home Tomorrow, Symphony of the City, Blue Skies and The Lion play spaces, and The Marketplace.

1.The Future Express

In the year of 2030, Singapore will celebrate SG65. Thus The Future Express imagines the newspaper of the day looking back at 1965 and 2015, and projects the possible headlines in 2030.

2.Theatre of Generations

We entered into an area to watch a short film. Firstly, we watched a historical footage of the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew. Then the film showed how the Singaporeans wanted to unfold their dreams and challenges.

A very awesome 360 degree show!

3. Home Tomorrow

I love all these Samsung Smart Home ideas. Better security at home,using your phone to make payment instead of using cards, hand gestures to switch on and off all the electric appliances in the house. Besides that, I loved the electrical mirror the most. While you are watching yourself greeting dress on the mirror, you can watch youtube, read news and weather forecast on it too. Shut up and take my money! ^.^

4. Symphony of the City

We also watched a show in another area. The show was about the idea of Smart Homes and Vibrant Lifestyles, and The Sky is The Limit. 

Firstly, the Smart Homes and Vibrant Lifestyle was about how they take care of their citizens especially the disabled citizens.They really showed that what kind of neighborhoods that they wanted to build and the amenities they wanted to provide for the less fortunate.

Then the story proceeded to The Sky is The Limit. It was very interesting to know that they wanted to grow plants and vegetables on "the sky". As we all know, Singapore is a land scarce country. It is difficult for them to grow crops because their land is limited. The idea of growing plants and vegetables on "the sky" is really brilliant. So, they do not need to import food from other countries if they are able to grow crops. They also projected the idea of Move at Your Own Space. Starting from the underground through the expanded mass rapid transit (MRT) network to future buses, vacuum-tube high-speed rail, self-driving vehicles, electric charging lanes and vehicle sharing systems. All these sounded so well-planned! Imagine what Singapore could be in the future. When I watched these show, I was thinking about the future of my country too...:(

5. Blue Skies and The Lion Play Spaces 

This was where we pen down our dreams and aspirations for the future of Singapore. Then we watched the wishes as they were beamed into the sky. We were excited to see our wishes join the constellation of "stars" in the digital galaxy.  We could also discover the dreams of others using the Dream Searchers. I really like their exhibition because it is very interactive!

6. The Marketplace 

This was the place where we could view many interesting products such as T-shirts, notebooks and tote bags. The products that were sold there mostly had the logo SG50. The designs are very attractive but we didn't buy anything. It was very expensive because of the conversion rate. :(

Most importantly, free admission to the exhibition! We also intended to visit the newly opened Singapore National Gallery but we didn't have time for it. 

                                                                      

Tips:

• Warm at day, very cold at night.
• Blanket was not thick enough. :( Bring your jacket.
• Choose Rochor MRT station to reach the hostel or go to other places. Fastest route. Don't use Bugis MRT station and Little India station. 
• No lamps and power socket for each bunk beds but there are plenty of points available to charge your phones from the multi plug.
• Please bring your tooth brush, tooth paste, shower gel, shampoo and towel or else you have to buy from them.
• Minimum age requirement of 17 years to stay there.
• Female solo backpacker has to be careful because the streets were very dark at night and it was located near little India. It was fine to walk alone during daytime but it is advisable to go back early at night. Singapore is a very safe country but just a kind reminder for solo backpacker. :)

The hostel's toilet was clean. The shower room had ample space to hang my clothes and towels. Unfortunately, they didn't provide shower gel and shampoo. I was satisfied with the toilet! Many shower rooms and there was 4 toilets. So, no worries. There's only one washroom in this hostel and it's a unisex washroom.

This was our female dorm. The photo was blurry and dim because I took this photo early in the morning. The other travelers were still sleeping soundly. Can you see their backpacks? Looked so heavy. It was common for them to carry these backpacks. The bigger their backpacks, the longer duration of their 'wonderlust'. This was my first time staying in a female dorm with other backpackers. I felt so great that I got the opportunity to meet with these experienced backpackers. Our roommates were from Iceland, Germany, and Canada. As I mentioned earlier, our main purpose to stay in this hostel because we wanted to join their scooter tour. However, the tour was canceled because of the bad weather. It was indeed my pleasure to hear many interesting stories from the fellow backpackers in the hostel. The German backpacker showed us the lamp that she purchased from Africa. The lamp looked like an oil lamp but it was a rechargeable lamp. How awesome! The second night was rather interesting. We had a nice chat with a Japanese guy named Shota. I was very into J-pop so I talked a lot about KPP. Then, we played Wii together. The third day of our stay we met a Canadian backpacker @pomedlileah. She is a very friendly girl. She helped me to take out my simcard. I felt excited when I found out that she wrote travel journal. So I showed her some interesting midoritravelernotebooks. I really enjoyed our conversation. I will definitely put Saskatoon on my travel list if I get a chance to travel to Canada in the future.
