Our Learning Journey to the Singapore History Musuem!! I'm going to tell you all about it. First off, let me tell you this: the Museum was REALLY huge, and there was all sorts of interesting galleries, artefacts, plus, it was rainy outside, which made my learning journry a WHOLE lot better, cause' I really like rain, except when i'm outdoors or planning to do something outdoors -_-. Now moving on. The best gallery that I saw and liked(we didn't go to EVERY gallery, by the way) was the Food Gallery. Inside, there was stations <--(at least, thats what I THINK they are) with screens that showed videos of how the food was made in the old days, and how people went to food sellers to buy their food. There were 2 rooms in the gallery. One was the one with stations<---(not sure if they are) and the other, filled with jars of weird scents. You had to pull this knob thingy to let the scent come out of the jar through a microphone-looking thing, then you could smell it. Most of the boys from our class had this game: One person had to cover the microphone-looking thingy with their hand, then another person would have to pull the knob thing several times. Having done that, one other person or just the same person would have to smell the scent after the person covering the microphone-looking thing uncovered it. I tried, and I ended up coughing and hacking up on the floor.
Man, I tell you, one of the jars smelled WAY too sweet and my nose was covered up from the smell. One downside for the person covering the microphone-looking thing was that once you let go, and if you smell your hand, it'll smell like the scent in the jar. I was a victim of that too. Our class also visited the Historical gallery, and some otehr galleries that I can't remember. I remember there was one gallery where there 3 big screens and you had to see them all to see the movie they were showing. Behind the 3 screens were old...uhm...old.. music playing things which were in the old times. There were headphones attached to it so you could listen to the songs the thing could play. There was a black disc on the thing which looked to me like a DJ disc, so I called some of my friends and put on the headphones then I spun the disc the way a DJ would do and pretended to be one.
The Historical Gallery. Hmm...yeah. Well, I didn't like the Historical Gallery very much as it was too SCARY! Although, it DID have a lot of facts and artefacts. Before we went to the gallery, the workers gave us a big rectangular electronic gadget which they called 'The Companion'. They told us it was designed to tell us more about the place which we pressed in after seeing the numbers on the floor of the Historical Gallery. Once, you pressed the number, a voice would speak then tell you more about the place. In some numbers, there would be titles of topics, and once you pressed on one, the voice would tell you more about it. Now, about the scary parts of the gallery. There was one where they made a jail cell which was so dark and creepy.... I actually imagined that there was a haunted prisoned ghost in the 'jail cell'. Oh, I just remembered what otehr galleries we visited! Let's see....there was the Singapore Living Galleries -Food(which I already told you about), Wayang, and fashion. Then lastly, the Singapore Historical Gallery(which I ALSO told you about). All in all, I felt that this really was an interesting and exciting trip(not that I bothered to learn any of the facts and artefacts in the museum, and I felt really ashamed about it). Well, this ends here. Thanks for taking the time to read my posts, which I know is very long, and I appreciate it if you took the time to read every word.
