MINT Toy of Museum

I had always wanted to pay a visit to the MINT Toy of museum, but was always deterred by the rather expensive entrance fee. Thankfully, a friend managed to get some free tickets and so here we are in the secluded Museum.
The first words greeted me when I entered the lift to start the tour from the highest floor.
Hmmm..compare me with other 3 year old kids when I was 3, I would probably have won then.

Stepping out of the lift, I entered into the history of cartoons, comics and toys. Tin Tin was a comic book which the boys in my primary school classmates read, Dennis the Menace was a cartoon shown on Saturdays.
Yogi bear was a soft toy which I owned before.
To me, Popeye the Sailor man was the advocate who makes children eat their spinach.
He was also the one who taught little children to blow a whistling pipe that goes "Bi Bi!".
Just the other day, a friend reminded me of a singer songwriter Chris Rice.
Most Christians today know him through the song "I can only imagine", but the song which introduced me to him is a pretty fun song where he imagined the cartoon characters singing hallelujah. Thought it is apt to put up the song here. Enjoy. =)



I was thinking the other day, what if cartoons got saved?
They would start singing praise, in a whole new way. Yea-eah.
But cartoons weren`t made for that, It`s our job!
Yea-eah, so let`s sing hallelujah!
