Mrupupup visited the Singapore Philatelic Museum along the Hill Street area in Singapore (at 23 B Coleman Street). This museum stores all sorts of stamps used in Asia and Singapore. Mrupupup liked this museum for the place gives one a sense of history through viewing the stamps. Entry fee costs $5 for one to see all the history of stamps in Singapore and very valuable stamp collections. Currently, the museum is exhibiting a collection of stamps from Thailand. Do visit the Singapore Philatelic Museum, although it is in a small 19th century building, the stamps are worth taking a closer look.

Bidadari Cemetery has been cleared of the cemetery plots and now is a nice park along Upper Serangoon Road, Singapore (nearest MRT station Circle Line- Woodleigh). Mrupupup went to Bidadari Cemetery just to take photographs of the place. The place is good for photography and bird watching. The whole landscape evoked a sense of calm and peace. Mrupupup walked along and encountered cute dogs, squirrels, birds, men on their daily jogs, interesting tree shapes and people enjoying the peace. Checked out Mrupupup's photos of Bidadari Cemetery. The whole place would be cleared for public housing in the future and do enjoy the mini park while the place still remains.
