HELLO HELLO! It's been a week! So I'm back for blogging baybeh! ;))
Today was my first day of volunteer work at the National Museum! So some of my classmates and I are involved in this PlayDome Playeum for 7 Saturdays. I'm actually in-charge of the Discovery Trail but it was not ready yet so I'm the ticket checker and crowd control.
Initially, it was tough for me since I was just so blur! x)) I had trouble differentiating the single day pass tickets and seasons tickets. The single day pass ones cost $12 for adults and $9 for children. For those who are below 3 years old, they will be given an orange sticker. And I'm also supposed to check and tear the side of their tickets and then help them stick the entry ticket around their wrist. Confusing huh? xD For the $35 seasons tickets, they will have a free small goodie bag and they are supposed to wear this special green silicone band on their wrist. I had trouble explaining the 2 PlayDome areas too, the Black Box and Sensory Studio.
Guess what? I was so nervous man and I even stumbled upon my words! Tsk. For the Black Box and the Sensory Studio, you have to purchase the single day pass tickets or seasons tickets in order to go in. The National Museum is actually free, just that you need to purchase the tickets for the 2 PlayDome areas. It's meant for children actually but parents can join too. There are black curtains before you enter the Black Box. That means, you wouldn't get to see what's inside the Black Box. So it somehow creates wonder and excitement for children and parents. :)
Oh! The Black Box is not a typical box by the way. x)) It's just the name of it. It's actually a big space, a room rather, whereby there's the giant kaledeiscope and you are to stand infront of it, move about or even hold up some patterned cloths. So you will be able to see all the different patterns and images of it. It's interesting and fun. :D By the way, the ceiling should be black. I took this picture from Google. x))
There's also the 'wayang' area next to it. It's actually the chinese opera. Children can colour their own mask and wear it. They can even wear the costumes and have dramatic play. There's also the 'tying of ribbons' area next to it. The Black Box, which is also known as the Alteria, is somewhat the happening place for children. There's always quite a lot of people inside. x))
And so, there were some of them who wanted to take a peek in the Black Box but they were not allowed to. So I have to stop them and tell them to buy the tickets first. x)) The free admission will be the Sun Deck and Chilli Garden. It's all at level 3. Parents and children can just walk around and explore it.
I can say that it was a good experience. First day was not bad I guess. We were given free packed lunch too since we are volunteers. The food is nice! :) And the staff at the museum are friendly and helpful. :) So next Saturday will be my 2nd time there! I hope I can do better! Hehe.
Anywaaay, mum decided to have dinner at Pastamania just now! Hahaha! I knew it! x)) Yesterday, it was Canadian Pizza. The day before it was Pizza Hut and the day before Pizza Hut was Swensen! Whoaaa. I'm going to gain weight man! Seriously! Hahaha. Oh well! It's been awhile since I last went to Swensen, Pizza Hut and Pastamania! Hehehe. :) I wanted to have Mushroom Baked Rice but for today there isn't any. Tsk. So Beef Bolognaise it was! :) Mum tried the Marinara Spaghetti. Lil bro had his all-time favourite Lasagna. He said that Pastamania's Lasagna is the best among Swensen and Pizza Hut. x)) And he even tried the Chocolate Mousee! We ordered a small Hawaiian pizza too! I love the pizza man! It's niceeeeeeeeeee!!! :DD
