#fallishere At the esplanade trip, I went to the jendela, the visual arts space. The opening hours are from 11am to 8pm daily. Jendela is the place to go if you are an arts person. They featured works by some of the local and international artists. When I went there, I saw this Indonesian artist's art work. The theme of the art piece is called fracture. It looks at how the people from the past have changed over the years from the perspective of hunting, greed, gathering, and defense of human life till today. The scene was quite dark and the place was kind of horrifying at times. At the end of the exhibition, there is a video of the people from the past, trying to hunt for their daily essentials.

Another activity checked off my bucket list is to join a guided tour of the Esplanade, the durian-shaped building. I finally had the free time to book this tour together with my sister. It costed us 20sgd per person to book this 1-hour long tour. Ever since I watched Les Miserables in Esplanade, my fascination for this building has grown. As someone working in Design and Construction field, I have always wondered about the acoustics of the hall/theatre. The tour maybe short but it still provided us the important information and details that we needed to know regarding the design and how the acoustics work. The guide also explained how each detail of the structure contributes to the overall acoustics of the building. We were also able to enter and seat inside the concert hall and theatre. Taking photos while the tour is on-going was also allowed. The history and interesting trivia were also mentioned in the tour. The tour group is small so there was no issue with communication with the guide. The tour guide was considerate and approachable as she always asks if we have questions. This tour is always available along with the other types of tour Esplanade is offering. This is one of the tours unique to Singapore since only Singapore has the durian building so it’s worth trying. #wheretogo #esplanade #singapore #guidedtour #toursg #visitsingapore #architecture #tripblazers

Nestled within the Singapore arts hub, the Esplanade, this humble restaurant is called Old School Delights serving authentic Singaporean cuisine from our childhood! It truly brings back memories and feelings of nostalgia eating here as the food on the menu is very similar to what Singaporeans grew up eating in schools. Prior to the pandemic, they also had little games like five stones, donkey card sets and mini chess available for customers to relive their childhood classic games. However, they seem to have removed that. Nevertheless, it’s an excellent place to enjoy our favourite comfort meals like a blast from the past! My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #mysgmemories #singapore #tripmoments #tripblazers
