This whole week I am totally not feeling well. Yesterday was what they call "Learning Journey". We have fun fooling around and gulping down with the chips in the bus. As usual, I didn't bring any chips but eat more than enough chips. After the 30 minutes bus journey, we alighted at Singapore Museum (a white building beside YMCA which looks a little like the "White House"). The Singapore Museum has more than 100 years of history and 4 galleries: History (Largest), Wayang, Food and Photography. We viewed 3 galleries but time constrained us from last one, which happens to be the History Gallery. The prohibition of flash photography resulted in the bad quality in the photos, so please bear with it:
The museum had a dome-shaped top
Plates and hawker's stuff
The early form of beverages (F'n'N and Yeo's)
A Olden Family Photo
After the viewing of the galleries, we assembled somewhere. There were some ordinary bright red lamps which didn't happen to be ordinary. They can move, as in swinging. And their formation looks like a wave. That happens every 15 minutes so we were kinda lucky. After that, we headed for Singapore Arts Museum, which is the old building of St. Joseph Institution.
After an hour or two, we checked out the building of our old school. It looks old, very ancient. I don't believe Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong studied there. He's an old boy of our school in case if you're wondering.

This signboard is preserved from the 19 century till now. That is what the school was called way back in time: Sino-English Catholic School.
Btw, we ran 2.4 km today. It seemed forever to complete. I took 19 minutes and 36 seconds. It stinks. The best in class runs 14+ minutes and the slowest runs 27+ minutes. We thought we stank (verb: past tense for stinks)
That's all for now. Tata!!!
