A Trip to Mint Toy Museum

Mint Museum of Toys
 I actually visited the Mint Museum of Toys on National Day this year but didn't upload those photos until now :X. I'd say that it's more worth the money to visit on that day as there's almost 50% discount due to national day sale :P. On top of that, we finished touring the place in within a few hours. The mint shop is right next to the entrance of the museum.

The address of the Mint Toy Museum is "26 Seah Street, Singapore 188382" and I'd say that the building is pretty easy to miss as it's a part of a shop house street.

The directory is actually located next to the lift. So I took the lift to 5th floor then walk down. :)

There are lots of robot toys variation and it's pretty amazing that there's a USD $15K robot. Quite a few comes with price tag but probably just to let us know the estimated value and not so much of putting them up for sale.

Astroboy
I think this one is the Astro boy the cartoon character of the good old times.. Looks kind of familar but didn't recall watching it though.

I like this one as it reminds me of the uncle in my primary school that put up a stop sign to control the traffic and always say "Walk Walk Walk" in chinese and dialet.

The Flint Stone on the Dino as usual :)

The little girl is so cute :)

Didn't know what's this but the thumb protector is cute

Tin Tin!
There's a big figure of tin tin and lots of small tin tin toys... It still reminds me of my ex-colleague whom we always link with this character 

Popeye the sailor man
It's just so classic. I still remember the times where we used to play the popeye computer games.. which didn't seem to be available anymore these days.

This Batman and Robin toy is so unique!



Ready, get set, go!!
Haha.. doesn't it remind us of bike racing, especially with the way they arrange these toys?

And that's me posing with the felix the cat

Darkie
I wonder if Darlie toothpaste originated from this...

Snow white and the 7 dwarfs

These posters must be antiques now..
I didn't recall seeing these posters before... Especially that "the Sword in the Stone" cartoon.


This weighing machine is really antique, haven't seen it around for ages. It used to be around many shopping malls very long time ago when I was still a kid.

Backup!

Haha.. I spent most of the day creating recovery disk (1 set -- initial setting), install everything I want then create backup disk. Lol.. Yes I really need the backup... 'cos before I create the backup.. I actually configure until the DVD drive cannot use.. Such that ermm heng hor, Windows have restore point and I was constantly installing stuff.. haha.. So I'm not too sure what config went nuts 'cos I just restore and start again loh.. It's just day 2 nia.. I spoiled the software again lol.. Think maybe I should just not try to be too funny about my config ba.. Then I try to play the game, it seems like my pointer settings will affect the game play if I use pointer. A bit ma fan.. So maybe I should just use mouse for it ba. And something wrong about the map also.. I can see the floor.. yes.. But the pic of the mini and big map for one of the quest cannot be displayed. Now trying to find direct X to install. Hopefully it helps ba. At least most of the stuff is done le....

Free Antivirus Software

Just shared with one of my friends a few days ago that her computer is infected by some virus. And came to realised only yesterday that she's not the only one with unprotected computer. Then I'm wondering if it's just IT people that knows where to get free yet good antivirus software and install? Just to share with those that didn't know, AVG is really a very good yet free antivirus software. If you don't have one, it's best that you just download and install it so that your computer will be almost always virus free. At least most of the normal virus won't be able to disturb you :)

Monopoly Deal - A Fun Game to Play @ Chalets!

I felt that Monopoly Deal is really a fun and challenging game to play, especially at the Chalet. There are many rules to the game, but luckily we had a  monopoly deal rules expert with us to double-click with in event of discrepancy! I feel that it requires strategy and some form of luck to win the game. So far, I always get good property cards sets but it always get taken away 'cos I don't have the "Just say NO" card and it tend to get taken away, especially if I've a complete set. Then, I tried the strategy of not putting up a complete set, then it also doesn't really work 'cos in the end, I don't end up putting my sets on the table. Perhaps, I'll need to play a lot more times and try different methods till I get the idea right I guess. If you do have the chance, try playing that game. It's really exciting, 'cos you'll never know how long will your properties stay with you! As well as, how much money you can have in your hands. T...
