Happy 46th Birthday, Singapore! And to mark this occassion, Asian Civilization Museum is having a free admission day today including to its special exhibit.
Reached museum at about 1040am, and there was a queue already formed.

| long queue at the entrance to exhibition halls |
There was a sign downstairs that states the waiting at the gallery is approximately 60 minutes.
 |
| we're turning to the left although entrance is to the right, because it is a snaking queue.... |
 |
| something to amuse the kids.. terracota jigsaw puzzle |
 |
| model showing assembly line to create terracota figures but take a look at the sea of people downstairs.. yup, that's the queue! |
After 45 minutes of queueing, finally we went into the exhibition hall only to find another queue to enter the special exhibition section. ZzzzZzz....
 |
| queue again... |
Waited for another 10 minutes before we managed to enter.
