Trip to National Museum

On this Monday, i went to the National Museum with my teacher and classmates.The museum was very grand-looking. There was even a pendulum light.It was my first visit to this new National Museum.They gave us our personal "tour guide"which was the Companion,a kind of information gadget or something like that.Hear thir opinion and even know what the people involve are saying, it is much more better than reading the description about the artefacts like normal meuseum does. As we moved on, I was trying to punch in the numbers into the companion. entering another room, on the time when the girls in Singapore were finally allowed to go to school, the companion told the story of a school girl's experience. There was a report card of the 10 year-old girl. I was quite surprised to see that they were already learning stuff such as geometry, history and all those stuff that we're suppose to learn in secondary schools... After viewing a lot more exhibits, we finally returned The Companion. This is the companion.
I think I need more time as we did not went into the event path and went to the personnel path. As we are nearing to the exit, all of my classmates were already there.Most of the exhibits there were mainly about the fall and rise of Singapore.Then we went to the Singapore Living Museum-Food,Wayang and Fashion.There were the clothes of the pastand samples of different cloths.Then in the Wayang,there was a horror malay movie and the machines for filming movies.And the Food section,there is the smells of different spices like lime and coconut etc(i am going to faint because of the lime smell)I also remembered Elizabeth Choy's story which I listened to in the war heroes exhibit. She struggled through the Japanese Occupation when her husband and herself were captured and she was tortured. Despite that, she still survived and lived to tell her inspiring story. Many admired her for her bravery and selflessness.Towards the end of the journey, we did a survey and headed back to school.Although some of us were rather noisy, I learned many things that could not be read in the textbook and met a few friendly tourists too. I'm looking forward to the next excursion! :)
