The trip to the National Museum was where Secondary 3 Npcc cadets went during the camp on 10th October.Upon reaching there,I was greeted by a cooling air-conditioned museum with a beautiful structure,not forgetting the great artefacts it had and the video clips and anecdotes of what Singapore had went through.It also tells me about the steps Singapore had taken to the present today.It was definitely a great experience.Well,it was also my first encounter in a museum with a efficient gadget,which I thought was creative, that could aid and accompany me during my time in the museum.It was like a 'real' tour guide,with its verbal and written explanations which could satisfy and sustain my curiousity and definitely an answer key for the questions that visitors were dying to ask.This trip had definitely benefited me as it brought insights into the history of Singapore from the rules of the various rulers till the age we are living in right now.Standing in Singapore since 1849,the National Museum has a proud collections of 11 artefacts like he Singapore stone,Gold Ornaments from East Java's Sacred Hill,Frank Athelstane Swettenham,the coffin of Tan Jiak Kim and Munshi Abdullah's Will presently.Regrets was definitely not what I felt about the trip as I had really learnt a lot from the trip.It was truly an eye-opening experience for me.
