博物館內允許手持相機拍攝,但是禁止使用閃光燈。館內燈光昏暗,參觀的當天,我見到幾個韓國遊客(起初以為是日本遊客)不理指示,使用DSLR+閃光燈拍照。我兩次走上前請拿相機的那位停止這動作,但是韓國老叔叔卻問回我一句:” No flash how to shoot?”,然後說了對不起就走開。之後在遠處,依然看到他的閃光燈在閃爍,多麼無奈(我)。
座落於Armenian Street的另一間博物館我還未有機會進去參觀,下次到新加坡時應該抽空去看看。還有其他讓我興趣濃厚要去參觀的包括紅點設計美術館(Red Dot Design Museum),我看過一些獲得Red Dot Design Award的商品,都具有卓越的設計概念和時代感。另一個則是新加坡美術館(Singapore Art Museum),是新加坡國家美術收藏品的大本營。
这里分享其中两首我很喜欢的合唱歌曲,但不是收录在“O”专辑里。来自爱尔兰的Damien Rice 和 Lisa Hannigan 现场合唱,我很欣赏这样有个性的两把歌声。

Unplayed Piano (Live)
2005年6月21日是缅甸民主人权斗士昂山素枝的六十岁生日,Damien Rice发表了 “Unplayed Piano” 作为对 “Free Aung San Suu Kyi 60th Birthday Campaign” 的支持。这首有意思的歌曲,两人的声线很搭。
Come and see me
Sing me to sleep
Come and free me
Or hold me if i need to weep
Or maybe it’s not the season
Or maybe it’s not the year
Or maybe there’s no good reason
Why i’m locked up inside
Just cause they wanna hide me
The moon goes bright
The darker they make my night
Unplayed pianos
Are often by a window
In a room where nobody loved goes
She sits alone with her silent song
Somebody bring her home
Unplayed piano (unplayed piano)
Still holds a tune (still holds a tune)
Lock on the lid (years, years pass by)
In a stale, stale room (in the changing of the moon)
Maybe it’s not that easy (too many windows)
Or maybe it’s not that hard (in a stale, stale room)
Maybe they could release me (stale, stale room)
Let the people decide
I’ve got nothing to hide
I’ve done nothing wrong
So why’ve i been here so long?
Unplayed pianos
Are often by a window
In a room where nobody loved goes
She sits alone with her silent song
Somebody bring her home
Unplayed pianos
Are often by a window
In a room where nobody loved goes
She sits alone with her silent song
Somebody bring her home
Unplayed piano (unplayed piano)
Still holds a tune
Years pass by
In the changing of the moon

9 Crimes (Live)
Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I’d do
It’s the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It’s the wrong time
For somebody new
It’s a small crime
And I’ve got no excuse
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it’s loaded
Is that alright?
If you don’t shoot it how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it’s loaded
Is that alright
With you?
Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I’d do
It’s the wrong kind of place
To be cheating on you
It’s the wrong time
She’s pulling me through
It’s a small crime
And I’ve got no excuse
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it’s loaded
Is that alright?
If you dont shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
If I give my gun away when it’s loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?
Is that alright?
If I give my gun away when it’s loaded
Is that alright?
If you don’t shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
If I give my gun away when it’s loaded
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?
慢慢的,我会忘了是第几次到“希望之谷”(Valley of Hope)了。如果你问我,一个地方去了许多次还有新鲜感吗?还有东西可以拍摄吗?目前为止,我还是乐于每隔一段日子到那里“行行摄摄”(拍照兼走走),也乐于带没有去过希望之谷的朋友去那里看一看,拍照片。我们之中,旨祥最熟悉这个地方,也去过非常多次了。
