All of us fall in and get ready to go to the museum in order to obtain the heritage badge.
It is a nice place where by Singapore govt have put in alot effort,time n money to upgrade the facilities there.All of the facilities down there were quite new.''The Companion'' is being introduced[it shd be rather costly lar] Every people who walk into the museum gallery will get to hold on this companion,it actually act as a talking textbook.The pros of this gadgets is tat it will impress tourist and able to tell people tat the museum is being upgraded...lol..can see the effort lah...Cons is tat it is not a palm size gadget like a moblie phone,but a big gadget tat u will need to sling it,it also have wired earphone,so people will need to listen thru the earphone,it get tangled very easily as the user is walking abt in the gallery.
One of the exhibits in the gallery was the famous Singapore Stone, i find it rather fake lar. The stone was originally part of a giant boulder, and had inscriptions on it, which until now no one could decipher. The boulder once stood at the mouth of the Singapore River, but was blasted by the British...... This Singapore Stone is the
only surviving fragment of it,so its rather not possible for it to put in the museum in such a way tat anyone can touch it even thought tat there is a ''NO TOUCHING'' sign down there..As if the sign works. It also has a long history behind it. But there was one thing in certain. There was civilization in Singapore before Stamford Raffles came and founded Singapore.
After this, we went to the Food Living Gallery, which exhibit some of the traditional equipment used by the street hawkers from the 1950s to 1970s, as well as old soft drink bottles.So memorable.When i step in i smell food immediately!!!!... lol food gallery shd have food smell lor...I smell the smell is like ''Ham chi pang''[咸煎饼]..there are alot old stalll down there.Got the nasi lemak stall ang alot other hawker stall in 1950s as it will not be possible to see this scene in Singapore anymore...SOB...
