Happy National Day Singapore on 9 August 2012! Happy 47th Birthday. This year's National Day Parade at the Marina Bay Area was great. For Mrupupup, the best moment was watching our pioneer leader being well and coming down along the steps of the stadium to take his seat and enjoy the National Day Parade. Relief to many Singaporeans! Good Job Singapore! Check out some Mrupupup's photos of National Day 2012!

Mrupupup followed a group of people interested in Singapore schools heritage trail in Bras Basah area of Singapore (organised by National Library Board). Pretty interesting heritage in the Bras Basah district. The group covered the St Anthony's former school in Middle Road, Sculpture Square, School of the Arts (even went up to the school's roof top - very exclusive) and all things interesting in the Middle Road area.

Dr Sun Yat Sen (famous revolutionary person in China) has a link to Singapore, as he visited Singapore and stay in this villa. The villa now named Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall is at 2 Tai Gin Road (in Balestier area) near to Ah Hood Road. Built in 1880s, this double storey villa also known as Wan Qing Lodge was bought by a rubber magnate Mr Teo Eng Hock for his aged mother. Mr Teo was a fervent supporter of the Chinese Revoluntionary activities and later offered the villa to Dr Sun Yat Sen for his activities in 1906. Wan Qing Lodge became the Headquarters of the revoluntionary movement in Southeast Asia. Today the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall is managed by the Singapore government and showcases rare photos, paintings, calligraphy works, rare artefacts and the 1911 chinese revoluntionary history which impacted Singapore. Do visit this place for the Mrupupup thinks is very nice exhibition in a beauitful villa. If not, you can check out Mrupupup's pictures below. As August is the m
