11.07.09 :Night Fleamarket & Visits to Museums

SL was at his niece's birthday party till was interrupted by my call to go out. My intention was to go to flea market. When we reached City Hall, it's pouring. So I went to Dorthy Perkins and saw a pair of oxfords. Tempted to buy but needed to control the urge to do so. Yup, left Dorthy Perkins not buying it.

Still insisted of going to the flea market located at Singapore Art Museum courtyard despite of the rain. When we reached there, it was crowded and the stalls have occupied the walkway. Went through the stalls and most of them sold their 'pre-loved' stuff and not keen to buy those.

Saw a stall that sold some nice hairbands but decided not to buy and move to look for other stuffs. It was a bit pricey and the cost was SGD 30 (approx.) for the one that I saw. Found a tote bag on sale and it's from Commes Des Garcons Guerrilla Store. Totally loving it coz it's colorful, cute and slightly feminine coz of the bows. The best parts were the price was attractive and it's brand new. Of course, I would like to own a bag from Commes Des Garcons coz hadnt gone to any of their Guerrilla Stores. There were no handles for the carrier and decided to tie some knots for handles. Here is my prized possession, courtesy from SL.

After buying this, I decided to pop into the Singapore Art Museum to look around since it's free admission till 2am. Hooray! Saw an interesting sculpture and liked the quotation from Lord Byron, the English Romantic poet expressed what a pet owner could possibly see in their animals on his beloved pet tombstone : "Beauty without vanity, strength without insolence, courage without ferocity, and all the virtues of man without his vices." Thought this was very insightful. Here are the pictures of the sculpture and the art piece is called 'Andy's Venice Souvenir'.

After visiting for awhile, we decided to visit Peranakan Museum. At this time, it was still raining. My focus on going to this museum was to look at the jewellery worn by Peranakans. Photography was not allowed but still managed to take a couple of snapshots. Here are the pictures of the intricate designed pieces and do love the bridal headgear.
