change your mind

i was at the singapore museum biennale again with siuchu, beejuan and jia en. i really had to see the artwork by mariko mori again. it's the zen-like light structure. this time, we didn't walk onto the raised platform, but sat by the side. it's the first time i saw it emit blue and green lights. i don't know, what's so captivating about it? everything just fades away when the light turns off. i think, only children would walk onto the raise platform. adults don't, only children who still believe in magic do.

we missed the shuttle service to the tanglin camp biennale twice. twice! even when we got the bus eventually, we had to walk such a long way to get to the actual site. and, it was quite freaky. you wouldn't want to be lost there at night.

oh the tanglin camp artworks are really quite nice! there were some freaky ones like 'we live in a dangerous world' with scary-looking plugged people. there were some interesting ones like 'star', which allowed you to shout into the microphone amidst thunderous applause! 'secret garden' was nice. it was a bit scary to climb up the ladder at first, because i didn't know what i would see, but hey it was soothing to find that my head had popped into a serene garden.

we entered the room labelled 'belief board'. it was so interesting to read all the things written in there! some were wishes, others were offers. it's amazing how much people believe in the power of writing things down and praying for them to happen.

i collected 23 more badges today. and we went to tiong bahru market for dinner. luckily 'lee hong kee cantonese roast' was open even though it was a monday. yay i tried it today, but it was quite expensive. still haven't gone to the singapore art museum biennale yet.

make you happier than yesterday, but not happier than tomorrow.
J from the 'belief board'
