Sunday, November 7, 2010 Deepavali Holiday (5/11/2010. Friday) Managed to do any work at all on Deepavali, which i think is the right choice as my client still had not sent me anything to work on when I checked by email on Saturday, so i don't feel guilty at all. We went to the National Museum of Singapore (for the 1st time in my entire life), as in celebration of Deepavali, they are opening all the galleries free to the public. So cheapskate us decided to visit the Pompeii exhibition, which was recommended by my sister. The exhibition is about this town which was buried under volcano ash and debris, after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, which no one discovered until the mid-18th century. As the volcano ash and debris had covered the entire town, including the people in the town, the excavation team was able to make casts from the hardened volcano remains, which is displayed in the exhibition. I thought they were rather scary and depressing, so i did not take any photos of the casts. The exhibition included the volcano pumice and ash, the paintings on the walls of the houses, and many other things found during the excavation, like statues of god, urns, etc. When i 1st saw this painting, I thought why is there a head in the picture, which was rather eerie, and i read from the pamphlet that the painting is supposed to be "Fresco of a garden", which makes me confused, as while the background looks like a garden, it seems like someone had been beheaded there. ![]() ![]() We left the museum after watching a 3D clip regarding the volcano eruption and headed for Farrer Park for dinner at The French Stall. I got to know of this place from hungrygowhere.com and it says that the french onion soup is rather special so we both tried it. French Onion Soup. Nothing special but maybe it's because i do not eat cheese so i gave the bread with cheese in my soup to baby. The soup still tastes of cheese after that though but since i love onion, especially those that are cooked until very soft kind, so i finished every single drop of the soup. My dory fish. I am a big fan of fish, so naturally, i loved this dish. The mash potato is very light and there is NO BUTTER TASTE! Yums! Baby's steak. I don't really like beef because i think there is a milky smell, but there is none in this dish. i only ate a teeny weeny piece though. Baby thought that it was great. Cooked to perfection. My chocolate souffle. Damn GOOD! Dark Chocolate Cake. I don't really like this but again, baby thought it was better than the chocolate souffle. We really have very different taste. That marks the end of of our Deepavali holiday outing. So many first times. =) |
