Yvette Alena: Exhibits

Hi hi guys!

Thought I'll stray away from the amount of posts of trips for awhile to talk about the latest event happening in Singapore!

No, this is not sponsored okay. I was just lucky that I could register in advance for the event.

Anyways, Chanel has another pop up store event in Singapore! This one is known as the Coco Game Center where visitors can actually win stuff from the few games they have in the event!

If you did register in advance instead of just walking in, the staff will pass you a box that contains a ticket to redeem a free slushie, and 2 game tokens so that you can enjoy the games they have in the pop up event!

I'M MEGA EXCITED I LOVE GAMES ALOT OKAY.

There were mini car booths for phototaking opportunities as well

#5 Grab claw machine

#6 Arcade game booth

Each booth/area had literally makeup on the table, however, it was mostly to promote their new product launch, which was the Chanel Lip Blush!

I tried it and fell in loveeeeeee. I normally don't buy lipsticks that exceed $20, but... I made an exception this time.

Also! When the arcade game booths are not in use the screen converts back into a mirror wtf cool af.

#7 I tried to be all dressy dressy but er... It got really uncomfortable after awhile wtf.

Honestly there were just photo taking opportunities everywhere. I was just kinda.. awkward and shy to take photos since everyone is staring at you while waiting for their turn wtf.

Okays, after we were done gagging and running around, we decided to finally start using our tokens to play some of the games provided.

#10

Except we totally failed at the claw machine wtf couldn't even get one capsule omg.

#11 The makeup that adorns the table

We gave up on the claw and decided to try out the game booths instead. 1 coin/token allows for up to 2 players to play!

There were 2 different types of games. One is more like a tennis match wtf and another one is something along the lines of Guitar Hero. Whomever wins will actually win a small prize from them!

I personally prefer the guitar hero one HAHAHA.

#12 Our final scores wtf. Yes the left one is mine HAHAHA.

Anyways, after that we went to redeem our free slushies. There's 2 different flavours - Fruit punch & Mango, and my friend and I got both respective flavours.

#14

Anyways, we explored alittle bit more..

#15

#16

Before I finally decided that I'm gonna buy the Lip Blush. I COULDN'T HELP IT OKAY.

I bought the colour Orange Explosif!

#17 SO PRETTYYYY

#18

Anyways, I really did enjoy myself at this event! Considering that I was surviving on literally 3 hours of sleep, I has a mega fun time!

I REALLY HOPE YOU GUYS WOULD TAKE THE TIME OFF TO GO FOR IT! The event will be from April 28th to May 6th at The Luxe Art Museum, which is actually just next to The Cathay!

I do suggest you go for it though! I would highly encourage you guys to register for the event instead of just walking in since you might not get the free tokens/ticket which were really the main highlight of the entire event!

#19

Hope you guys enjoyed this small update! I'll see you guys again soon for the rest of the Taiwan trip! Annyeong!

Hello hello! So today, Evan and I had planned to go for the Mummy exhibition held at the ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands!

We both met at Parkway Parade at... 12.58pm? Hahaha.
Then, we went to get some earrings for Evan, as her mum unknowingly threw away hers. After we bought the earrings, we went over to a book sale in Parkway! we spent a few minutes there looking through the Fiction books. She bought 2 books, while I bought 1 (BRSK)

After that, we headed over to Yoshinoya to have lunch!

I had a beef with veggies and chilli flakes value bowl while Evan had a beef value bowl.

Cr: Evan

Oh right, I cut my fringe. Hahaha I wanted to blog about it but decided not to in the end.

Anyways, right after eating, we took bus 16 all the way to City Hall, then an Mrt to Bayfront.

We walked all the way to Marina Bay Sands, then walked to The ArtScience Museum, where we bought 2 tickets for the exhibit :D

OOTD

Right. Okay, then you have the whole "scanning and taking the lift" thing before heading down to the exhibit!

Now, if you were bringing kids with you, the minimum age is... 3 or 6 I think? and the maximum is 16 years old, you can bring them over to a booth to collect an exhibit bag to have some sort of treasure hunt thingy while inside the mummy exhibit!

This booth is like diagonally on the right from the lift.

We then proceeded to the entrance to the main hall.

From the entrance, you will be asked to snap a family photo/group photo with your friends. You can either just smile and continue your walk into the entrance or use the props provided for the photo, which ranges from Jackal heads to pharaoh's crowns, then walk into the entrance.

When you reach the actual entrance, please remember to hold onto your ticket till you reach the entrance! A guide will be there to check your ticket and sign it. Another guide will pass you Egyptian 3D glasses that you can bring home as a souvenir~

The glasses are for a short show, which would start at 4.30pm sharp, so don't miss it!

The show teaches you how to properly examine a mummy, and how to tell the mummy's age, past job and any sickness that caused his/her death.

It also shows the different amulets/symbols planted on the mummy's body and the meaning behind those amulets. I managed to snap 1 photo inside the exhibit.

The short show

Mummy exhibition guide, Photobooth ticket, Mummy Exhibit ticket

After watching the show for about 15-30 minutes? You can proceed on to see the other places. There's so many different kinds of things to see there! I was especially entralled by how they mummify the body of an Egyptian, and about the Gods in Egypt.

If you know me well enough, you would know that I love to study about Greek or Egyptian Mythology.

I was surprised to actually find out that Anubis was not only the God of the Underworld, but was also the God of Mummification and Purification. That's why when priests have to mummify a body, they would usually wear Anubis face masks.

You will also get to see a live exhibit of how to embalm a body. Evan and I didn't stay for long as we weren't really interested. But if you are you can go check it out!

Towards the end of the exhibit, you will see the coffin of Nesperennub, an Egyptian priest who was buried over 3000 years ago, you will also see his cartonnage and all the different hieroglyphics drawn on it. It's a really beautiful thing to see.

However, you won't only see the mummy of Nesperennub, you will see others while walking around! If I remember correctly, there was one called Stella, and another really long name that I can't remember.

But the amount of ancient artifacts you see there is simply and truly amazing.

When you exit the exhibit, you will find yourself in a gift shop hahaha. From there, you can go to the photo exhibit and view your photo, but please remember to give them your photo receipt!

I bought a freeze dried ice cream at the gift shop.

Note: I suggest that you go only if you're interested in these kind of things, if not, it would seem really boring to you I guess. I rather you not pay $15 and waste your time there if you're not gonna find it the least bit interesting.

Anyways, after that, Evan and I left to walk around MBS.

Oh hey. I look like Gyu.

I forgot to add that we had a clear view of the National Day Parade Preview! Although, we could only see the crowd and hear the songs hahaha

From there, we went to this chocolate shop where we saw the cutest mascots!

The arrays of chocolates they have~

Mascots! I remember the pug's name was Yu Fan, and the other dog is OO.

Okay, kinda random, but we really got bored after awhile, so I decided to try the freeze dried ice cream, while we walked over to the MRT station to head over to Eunos~

Firstly, the biscuit was really good. I bought the ice cream sandwich one, so there was like "ice cream" sandwiched in between 2 biscuits.

Secondly, the "Ice cream" tasted like milk powder. I'm not even kidding. It dissolves in your mouth and...MILK POWDER.

Ugh.

Not what I expected.. so I'm kinda disappointed.

Cr: Evan

But anyways, when we reached Eunos, Evan went to buy Mr Bean while I bought GongCha (Strawberry fruit tea with basil seeds FTW!) and then, we headed over to the Ebi Sushi store where she bought sushi for her family members!

After that, we both sat outside at the stairs and started.. well.. camwhoring.
